How our leaderboards rank your launch
Three ways to see launches ranked: by votes, by paid promotion, or by domain strength.
Updated
We maintain three leaderboards, each measuring something different about your launch.
Community ranking
The Community board orders every active listing by votes alone. This ranking moves as the community engages: votes drive position, nothing else. It reflects genuine interest in what you've built.
Paid placement
The Billboard is a separate ranking for launches with paid promotion. Each listing here has contributed a minimum of $5 to appear. We label these clearly as paid placements so the Community board remains unaffected and transparent.
Domain strength
Our Domain Rating board shows launches ordered by their Ahrefs Domain Rating. We display the current rating, whether it has moved up, down or remained flat since we last checked, and the dates of both the latest check and the last change. This helps you see which launches have established authority.
Launch of the Week
Each week—Monday to Sunday, UTC—the top 3 launches by vote count are awarded Launch of the Week badges. These are assigned automatically as each week closes. If your launch reaches the top 3 by votes, you'll receive an email confirming the award.
Questions people ask
- What determines the Community leaderboard order?
- Votes only. The Community board ranks by community engagement and reflects no paid activity.
- How do I appear on the Billboard?
- Contribute a minimum of $5 to gain a paid placement. The Billboard is clearly marked as paid so it doesn't affect the Community ranking.
- When are Launch of the Week winners announced?
- At the end of each week (Sunday UTC), the top 3 launches by votes are awarded badges automatically. Winners receive an email notification.
