105 Coupon Submissions Sites

Looking for a place to submit your coupons? Here is a long list of coupon submission sites that I think you will find very useful. These coupon sites could be to promote products or services, locally or nationally.

Keep in mind that not all of these sites will accept nor are they required to except your coupon submissions. Many of these sites will accept affiliate coupons but some of them do not. Personally, I think the best way to use these coupon sites is to promote your own product or service with a coupon.

Don’t forget that this is a great way to build some very natural and powerful links to your site and these are very under utilized links because most SEO folks don’t ever use them.

If you are looking for even more places to submit you coupons check out my list of coupon forums.

Here is your list of Coupon Submission Sites

Am I missing any coupon submission sites? Are any of these links dead or are no longer accepting coupon submissions? Leave a comment below and let me know.
