How leaderboards and Launch of the Week work
Five ways to see launches ranked: by votes, paid spotlight, domain metrics. Learn how weekly winners are chosen.
Updated
We run five leaderboards so you can browse and follow launches in different ways.
Vote-based ranking
The Community board ranks every launch by votes from visitors like you. This is pure community signal: no money changes hands, no one can buy their way up.
Paid spotlight
The Billboard board shows launches ranked by money contributed (minimum $5). It's clearly marked as paid, so you know what you're looking at.
Domain metrics boards
We measure domain strength using three different tools:
- Domain Rating — ranked by Ahrefs scores, with trend arrows showing whether each domain went up, down or stayed flat. We show the dates we checked and when the rating last changed.
- Domain Authority — ranked by Moz Domain Authority scores at /leaderboards/domain-authority.
- Trust Flow — ranked by Majestic Trust Flow scores at /leaderboards/trust-flow.
These three boards sit apart from votes and the paid billboard. They only show launches where we have a measurement from that provider.
Launch of the Week
Every week (Monday to Sunday, UTC) the top 3 launches by community votes get Launch of the Week badges. We award them automatically when the week closes, and email the winners.
Questions people ask
- Can I pay to rank higher on the Community board?
- No. The Community board is votes only. If you want paid visibility, use the Billboard board (minimum $5).
- What if my launch isn't on a domain metrics board?
- It means we don't have a measurement from that provider yet. Listings only appear on boards where we've measured them.
- When do Launch of the Week winners find out?
- We award badges automatically after each week closes (Sunday to Monday, UTC) and email the winners.
