Launch Rules

Launch weeks

• A launch week runs Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59 UTC (ISO weeks).
• Your product goes live automatically when its week starts. You can book up to 8 weeks ahead.
• After the week ends, the final ranking stays on a permanent weekly archive page.

Slots and plans

• Each week has 14 free spots and 13 separate Premium spots.
• Premium ($39) takes one of the Premium spots, adds a Featured marker and always gets a dofollow link. A week whose Premium spots are sold out can't be booked.
• Your Premium spot is held for 30 minutes while you pay, and the launch is booked once the payment is confirmed.

What a listing needs

Before a product can be booked it needs a name, tagline, website URL, logo, a description of at least 300 characters, a category and a pricing model. Each domain can launch once.

Voting and ranking

• You need an account to upvote. Each account can upvote a product once; clicking again removes the vote.
• The board is ranked by upvotes. Ties go to the product that booked first.
• Paying never changes rank. Vote manipulation (bought votes, vote rings, fake accounts) gets the listing removed.

Dofollow links and the badge

Premium listings link to your site with a dofollow link. Free listings link with nofollow by default and switch to dofollow while our badge is on your homepage. We check the homepage daily; after 3 missed checks in a row the link goes back to nofollow.

Which pages search engines index

Product pages are indexed once the listing is complete: a strong listing score, a description of at least 300 characters, at least 3 FAQs, a screenshot, a category and a pricing model. Thinner listings stay visible but carry a noindex tag until they are improved.

Content we remove

We remove listings that are illegal, misleading, adult, gambling, malware, or that copy another product's listing.
