How are launches ranked on Discovera Launch?
Your launches climb the boards through community votes—no money changes the rankings. Here's how each leaderboard works.

Charting the Community vote
The Community leaderboard is pure democracy. Every launch is ranked by votes alone, cast by the visitors who discover them here. No payment shifts a listing up or down. This is where genuine community interest shows itself—it's the truest measure of what's been spotted and loved on Discovera Launch.
The paid Billboard
If you want your launch on the Billboard leaderboard, you contribute money (minimum $5). This ranking is clearly labelled as paid, so visitors always know the difference between a community favourite and a promoted listing. The Billboard is separate from the vote-driven boards; it runs by investment, not interest.
Domain authority sightings
The Domain Rating leaderboard logs listings by their Ahrefs Domain Rating. You'll see the trend for each—whether the rating climbed, fell or held steady—plus the dates we checked it and when it last shifted. This gives you a read on the domain's standing in the wider web.
Launch of the Week honours
Every week (Monday to Sunday, UTC) we award Launch of the Week badges to the top 3 launches by votes. These badges arrive automatically once the week closes, and winners are emailed. It's how the rarest finds get their moment in the sun.
Questions people ask

- No. The Community leaderboard is votes only. If you want a paid placement, that's the Billboard leaderboard (minimum $5).
- How often are Domain Rating rankings updated?
- We check Domain Rating regularly and log both the check date and the date of the last change. You'll see the trend—up, down or stable—each time.
- What do Launch of the Week badges mean?
- They go to the top 3 launches by community votes each week (Monday–Sunday, UTC). Badges are awarded automatically when the week ends, and winners get an email.
