Placing the badge in your orbit
Every listing can display our badge on your website. Visit your listing's badge page to choose the design that suits you—select your preferred appearance, then copy the HTML snippet provided. The badge points directly to your listing here on Orvian Launch.
Free listings and badge requirements
If you're running a free listing, we need to see the badge on your own website before we can publish it. Our crawler checks for the link automatically and re-checks every 7 days.
If the badge is removed, your listing returns to "waiting for badge" status and we'll send you an email. Restore the badge and your listing re-publishes without delay.
Link authority: nofollow to dofollow
Your badge link begins as nofollow. Our system evaluates it live based on your site's Domain Rating (Ahrefs): when it reaches 20 or above and passes our spam checks, the link becomes dofollow. Below that threshold, it remains nofollow.
Paid launches receive a dofollow link on their listing page. Free listings stay nofollow unless your Domain Rating qualifies them.
Earned badges in the satellite sphere
Some badges arrive automatically when you reach them: Launch of the Week winners, Featured, Launched and Verified badges all appear as you progress.
