Each authenticated user gets one vote per product. Automated botting and vote manipulation result in immediate disqualification. - **Permanent Podium Backlinks**: When Sunday 23:59 UTC arrives, the weekly batch finalizes. The top 3 podium winners (#1, #2, #3) earn permanent, unrestricted dofollow backlinks to their root domain. - **100% Server-Side Rendered (SSR)**: Every profile at `/products/[slug]` renders clean semantic HTML with Schema.org JSON-LD (SoftwareApplication, BreadcrumbList) for instant indexing by Google and AI agents. ## Launch Tiers & Pricing - **Free Launch ($0)**: Community queue placement, public product profile, community upvotes and comments, and maker dashboard. Requires embedding a LaunchOn.it badge on your product website. - **Launch ($19)**: Skip the curation waitlist with a guaranteed spot in the currently live batch, even once it's full, priority feed placement during launch week, permanent dofollow backlink, and no badge embed requirement. - **Growth ($39)**: Everything in Launch plus a dedicated editorial review article published on the LaunchOn.it blog, 4+ permanent contextual dofollow backlinks, and inclusion in the weekly newsletter digest sent to thousands of builders. ## Categories AI & Automation
