How do I add my listing to the billboard?
The billboard ranks listings by money contributed, not votes. It's a separate paid leaderboard you can join from your listing's upgrades.

Understanding the billboard
The billboard orbits at /leaderboards/billboard as its own ranking board. It orders listings by total money their owners have put in, and the page makes this clear—it carries a 'paid ranking' label. This keeps it distinct from every other system: community votes, Launch of the Week, verification badges and Domain Rating all stand alone.
How contributions work
You set the amount in US dollars; the floor is $5. Each time you add money, it stacks onto what your listing already has. The board sorts by these totals, and once you're in, you stay visible. Promo codes have no effect on billboard sums.
Adding your listing
For a listing you already have, it must be live first. Sign in and head to /account/listings, then select 'Upgrades and extras' next to your listing. Enter your contribution under Billboard. You can also join during the submission process, at the plan step.
Why it sits apart
Money on the billboard never becomes a vote, never touches Launch of the Week, and never influences community rankings. Each signal—paid contributions, community votes, verification, Domain Rating—remains separate and labelled so visitors know what they're seeing.
A followed link, for life
A billboard contribution puts a link to your website on /leaderboards/billboard, using your company name. It is followed, with no nofollow on it, and it stays for life, even after others overtake you. It is taken away only if the listing is taken down for breaking our rules or the contribution is refunded.

- Yes. Sign in, go to /account/listings, pick 'Upgrades and extras' next to your listing and add your contribution under Billboard.
- Do I get a followed link from the billboard?
- Yes. Your website is linked from the full board with a followed link for life, unless the listing is taken down for breaking our rules or the money is refunded.
