How do I get my shop on the billboard?
Join the billboard leaderboard by contributing money to your listing. It's a separate paid ranking, clearly labelled.
Updated
The billboard is a leaderboard of its own at /leaderboards/billboard. It ranks listings by the money their owners have contributed, and every listing on it is flagged as a paid ranking so everyone browsing knows what they're seeing.
Pick your contribution amount
You choose how much to contribute in US dollars. The minimum is $5. If you add more later, it stacks up—each new contribution joins what you've already put in, and the board reorders by your total. Anyone who's contributed stays on the board.
Get your listing up there
For a listing you already have, it must be live first. Then sign in, head to /account/listings, pick "Upgrades and extras" next to the listing and enter your contribution under Billboard. You can also add it when you're submitting your listing.
It's separate from everything else
The billboard is its own thing. It doesn't buy votes, change the community leaderboard, affect Launch of the Week, or alter any other ranking. Community votes, verification, Domain Rating and the billboard are all separate systems—and each one is labelled so shoppers know which is which. Promo codes don't reduce a billboard contribution either.
The backlink
Each contributor's name on /leaderboards/billboard links to its website. These links are followed: they carry no nofollow. Yours stays for life, even as other companies contribute more. A take-down for breaking the rules, or a refunded contribution, is the only reason it would be removed.
Questions people ask
- Can I add more money to my billboard contribution later?
- Yes. New contributions stack on top of what you've already paid in, and the board reorders by your total.
- Will my billboard listing also get votes from shoppers?
- The billboard and community votes are separate. Your listing can be on the billboard and also receive votes—they don't affect each other.
- Where do I find the billboard?
- Head to /leaderboards/billboard to see the leaderboard ranked by contributions.
- Will the billboard link to my website?
- Yes. Your company name on the full billboard is a followed link to your website, kept for life unless the listing is taken down for breaking our rules or the contribution is refunded.
