How do Rapid Launches leaderboards work?
Three live rankings: votes, paid placement and domain strength. Plus weekly badges for the fastest climbers.

Race the rankings
We run three leaderboards so you can see what's moving fast.
Community ranks by votes alone—pure traction, nothing else. Billboard is paid ranking: contribute $5 or more and your launch climbs by money invested, always marked as paid so the Community board stays clean. Domain Rating pulls your Ahrefs data and shows the trend (up, down, flat) plus when it was last checked and when it shifted.
Win Launch of the Week
Every Monday to Sunday (UTC), the top 3 launches by Community votes earn Launch of the Week badges. The badges drop automatically the moment the week closes. You'll get an email to confirm.
Ship fast, get votes, pole position. No voting is required from you—your users do the work.
Keep moving
Leaderboards update live as votes come in. Check back often: votes shift, trends change, and the week moves quick. Your ranking is only as fresh as your momentum.
Questions people ask
- What makes a launch win Launch of the Week?
- The 3 launches with the most votes on the Community board when the week ends (Sunday UTC). Badges are awarded automatically and emailed to you.
- Does paid placement beat votes?
- No. Billboard is a separate paid ranking. Community ranks by votes only, and that's where Launch of the Week winners come from. Billboard is always labelled as paid.
- How often do Domain Rating scores update?
- We check and display your Ahrefs Domain Rating with the date it was last checked and when the trend last changed. Check back to see the latest data.
