How do I get higher on the leaderboards?

Community rankings move by votes from visitors. The Billboard board requires a minimum paid contribution of $5. Domain Rating ranks by your existing Ahrefs score.

When are Launch of the Week winners chosen?

Winners are selected automatically at the end of each week (Sunday, UTC) based on the top 3 vote-getters. You'll receive an email if you win.

Are all leaderboard rankings the same?

No. Community is votes only. Billboard is paid placement, clearly labelled. Domain Rating uses Ahrefs data with trend history.

Community rankings

The Community leaderboard ranks every launch by votes received on this site. Higher vote count moves a launch up the board. This ranking updates live as votes come in.

Paid placement on Billboard

The Billboard leaderboard shows launches ranked by money contributed (minimum $5). All Billboard placements are clearly marked as paid, separate from community-voted rankings.

Domain Rating board

Listings on the Domain Rating leaderboard are ranked by their Ahrefs Domain Rating. Each entry shows the trend—whether the rating moved up, down or stayed level—and the dates the rating was checked and when it last changed.

Launch of the Week

Each calendar week (Monday to Sunday, UTC) the top 3 launches by vote count automatically earn Launch of the Week badges. Winners are announced when the week closes and notified by email. Badges appear on winning listings to mark the achievement for that week's cycle.
