The boards

Every submitted domain competes on one global leaderboard, ranked by Highest Score. Categories — SaaS, AI, SEO, Developer Tools, Marketing, Finance, Ecommerce, and Other — are a filter, not a separate contest: picking one narrows the view to that slice of the same ranking.

How ranking works

Rank is by Highest Score — our own blend of three signals: 50% Authority, 30% referring domains (log-normalized), and 20% mobile PageSpeed performance. Authority and referring domains come from Open PageRank; the performance score comes from Google PageSpeed Insights. We deliberately don't call the authority figure "DR" or "Domain Rating" — that's a different company's proprietary metric.

Highest Score only exists once all three signals are real for a domain — a listing missing any of them ranks by Authority alone instead, never a partial blend passed off as complete. Ties go to Authority, then to whichever listing has been on the board longer.

There's no invoice, no checkout, no way to skip the queue. Rank is computed live on every page load from the current stored data, which itself refreshes once a day (see below).

Submitting your site

Submitting is free. You provide a URL and choose a category — the lens you show up under, not a separate leaderboard. We pull your name, description, and favicon from your site's own metadata. Every listing gets a genuine dofollow link out to your site — we don't nofollow outbound links, so being on the board is real SEO value, not just a badge.

Authority and referring domains arrive at submission, if Open PageRank has indexed you yet — if not, your listing shows as a "New site" rather than a guessed number, and you can't hand-enter them. It still ranks by whatever real data it has; nothing about how ranking works changes for it. Your PageSpeed score fetches automatically once you confirm your email — a mobile performance check is too slow to run while you wait — so it's usually ready by the time your listing clears review and goes live.

Every submission is confirmed by email, then reviewed once by a real person before it appears on the board — a quick check against spam and domains submitted by someone who doesn't actually run them, not a ranking judgment call.

Resubmitting the same URL doesn't move it — its position only changes when the underlying data does.

Data and updates

Everything — Authority, referring domains, PageSpeed, and Highest Score — is re-checked once every 24 hours for as long as you're listed. If a source is briefly unavailable on a given day, we keep your last known-good value rather than wiping it to zero. That same daily run records each listing's rank, so a domain's position today can be compared against where it stood yesterday — though we don't yet surface that history anywhere on the site.

We don't show traffic estimates — it's not a number we can source honestly at this size. See the privacy page for what data we do and don't collect.

What we remove

No sexual content — pornography, sexual services, or anything sexual involving anyone under 18. No illegal content, or content we judge is being used to break the law — scams, phishing, stolen or counterfeit goods, illegal drugs or weapons, malware, or content you don't have the right to post. No spam — duplicate URLs, parked domains, or sites with no real content.

Since listing is free, there's nothing to refund. Full legal terms are on the terms page.
