HOW TO GET ON THE BILLBOARD LEADERBOARD
The billboard ranks listings by cash contributed. It's a paid leaderboard, fully labelled, and separate from community votes.

WHAT THE BILLBOARD IS
The billboard is a paid leaderboard at /leaderboards/billboard. It ranks listings by money you put in—not votes, not hype, not anything else. The page tells you straight: this is a paid ranking. That's it.
HOW THE RANKING WORKS
You pick an amount in US dollars. Minimum is $5. Every time you add money, it stacks on top of what you've already contributed. The board orders by total contributed. Once you're in, you stay on the board.
HOW TO JOIN
Adding it from your account needs a live listing. Then:
- Sign in and go to /account/listings
- Select "Upgrades and extras" next to your listing
- Enter your contribution amount under Billboard
You can also add a billboard contribution when you submit your listing, right at the plan step.
BILLBOARD IS NOT VOTES
This is the key: billboard money does not buy community votes. It does not touch Launch of the Week. It does not change Domain Rating or verification. These are four separate systems. All four are labelled so you know which is which. Promo codes do not cut your billboard contribution either.
A link that stays
Contributing gives your company a followed link (no nofollow) to its website from /leaderboards/billboard, with your company name as the anchor. We keep it for life, wherever you rank. It comes off only if the listing is taken down for breaking our rules or the contribution is refunded.
Questions people ask
- Does a billboard contribution affect my vote count?
- No. The billboard is a separate paid leaderboard. Community votes are community votes. They are labelled differently and ranked on different boards.
- What's the minimum I have to contribute?
- $5 in US dollars.
- Can I add more money after my first contribution?
- Yes. New contributions stack on top of your existing total. Your listing's position updates based on the combined amount.
- Do I get a followed link from the billboard?
- Yes. Your website is linked from the full board with a followed link for life, unless the listing is taken down for breaking our rules or the money is refunded.
