Do I have to use the badge if my listing is paid?

No. Paid listings go live instantly. You get a dofollow link on your listing page either way. The badge is optional for you—but free listings must run it to publish.

What happens if the badge disappears?

We check every 7 days. If it's gone, your listing goes back to waiting and we email you. Put it back up and it re-publishes automatically.

How does my link become dofollow?

It starts nofollow. Our systems check your Domain Rating (Ahrefs) and spam status live. At 20 or higher, it flips to dofollow. Paid listings always get dofollow.

EARN YOUR SPOT

Every listing can run our badge on your site. Pick a shape, light or dark, your size. Grab the HTML from your listing's badge page and paste it.

FREE = BADGE REQUIRED

Free listings don't go live until we spot that link on your website. We crawl automatically every 7 days. Lose the badge and your listing stalls—we'll email you. Put it back and you're live again. No manual work. Just happens.

DOFOLLOW VS NOFOLLOW

Badge link launches as nofollow. Then our systems run: if your Domain Rating (Ahrefs) hits 20 or higher and you pass spam checks, it flips to dofollow. Otherwise it stays nofollow.

Paid launches get dofollow on your listing page link. Free listings stay nofollow.

AWARD BADGES HIT DIFFERENT

Launch of the Week, Featured, Launched, Verified—these appear automatically when you earn them. No setup. Just show up and win.
