How rankings and Launch of the Week badges are awarded
Three leaderboards track traction on Ventry Launch: community votes, paid placement, and domain authority ratings. Weekly winners earn Launch of the Week badges.
Updated
Community leaderboard
Rankings here are built on votes alone. Your position reflects what the Ventry Launch community has backed. There is no paid option to move up this board.
Billboard ranking
This is a paid placement. Launches ranked here have contributed a minimum of $5 to appear in this section. Each entry is stamped as paid so visitors see the distinction between earned community traction and paid positioning.
Domain Rating board
Listings are ranked by their Ahrefs Domain Rating. The board shows your current rating, the direction of movement (up, down, or unchanged), and the dates when the rating was checked and when it last shifted. This gives you a record of your domain authority trend over time.
Launch of the Week
Every calendar week (Monday through Sunday, UTC), the top 3 launches ranked by community votes automatically win Launch of the Week badges. Winners are announced when the week closes, and you'll receive an email notification. Badges appear on your listing and stay on record.
Questions people ask
- Can I pay to rank higher on the community leaderboard?
- No. The community board ranks by votes only. If you want paid positioning, use the Billboard ranking instead.
- What is the Domain Rating board based on?
- Your Ahrefs Domain Rating. The board records your current rating, whether it has moved up or down, and when each change was logged.
- How often are Launch of the Week badges awarded?
- Once per week. The top 3 launches by votes win badges automatically when the week ends on Sunday (UTC). You'll be emailed when you win.
