How do our leaderboards and Launch of the Week work?
Biz Alternative ranks launches side by side across three boards: Community votes, paid Billboard placement, and Domain Rating metrics.

Community versus paid rankings
We show launches head to head on three leaderboards. The Community board ranks by votes alone—higher votes place you higher. The Billboard board is a paid ranking: launches here are ordered by money contributed, with a minimum of $5, and clearly marked as paid. On this attribute, you can see at a glance which rankings are earned by community support and which are paid placements.
Domain Rating board
The Domain Rating board ranks launches by their Ahrefs Domain Rating. Each listing shows the current rating, the trend (up, down, or no change), and the dates when the rating was last checked and last changed. This gives you side-by-side visibility of how each launch's domain authority compares and moves over time.
Launch of the Week
Each week (Monday to Sunday, UTC), the top 3 launches by votes on Biz Alternative are awarded Launch of the Week badges automatically when the week closes. Winners receive email notification. This weekly recognition rewards launches that resonate most with the community during that seven-day period.
All three boards let you compare launches directly and see which ranking each one appears on, so you understand how it reached that position.
Questions people ask
- What makes a launch rank higher on the Community board?
- Votes from Biz Alternative users determine Community board placement. Higher vote totals push launches higher in the ranking.
- Is every launch on the Billboard board paying the same amount?
- No. Billboard is ordered by money contributed, not a fixed fee. All Billboard listings show a paid ranking label so you know they are not community-voted positions.
- When do Launch of the Week badges get awarded?
- Badges are awarded automatically after each week ends (Sunday, UTC). The 3 highest-voted launches that week win, and winners are emailed.
