Can I pay to appear on the Community leaderboard?

No. The Community leaderboard is ranked by votes only. If you want paid placement, use the Billboard leaderboard, which requires a minimum contribution of $5.

How often does the Domain Rating leaderboard update?

Domain Rating scores are checked on a schedule. Each listing shows when it was last checked and when any change occurred, so you can see the trend of your domain authority over time.

When are Launch of the Week badges awarded?

Badges are awarded automatically at the end of each calendar week (Sunday UTC). The top 3 launches by votes that week receive the badge, and winners are notified by email.

How leaderboards rank launches on Biz Launches

Three ranking systems show community votes, paid placement and domain authority. Launch of the Week badges reward top performers weekly.

Updated 3 October 2026

Biz Launches maintains three leaderboards, each serving a different purpose in tracking launch performance.

Community ranking

The Community leaderboard ranks all launches by votes received from site visitors. This is an unsponsored, merit-based ranking that reflects genuine community interest.

Billboard ranking

The Billboard leaderboard shows launches ranked by money contributed. This is clearly labelled as paid ranking. Only launches meeting the minimum contribution of $5 appear here. This ranking allows companies to gain visibility alongside the community-driven board.

Domain authority ranking

The Domain Rating leaderboard ranks launches by their Ahrefs Domain Rating score. Each listing shows the current rating, whether it has moved up, down or remained unchanged, and the dates when the score was last checked and when the change occurred. This provides a technical measure of domain strength independent of voting or payment.

Launch of the Week

Each calendar week (Monday to Sunday, UTC) the top 3 launches by community votes are automatically awarded Launch of the Week badges when the week closes. Winners receive email notification of their achievement. This programme recognises launches that gain sustained community engagement within each seven-day period.
