How do the momentum tables work?
Three leaderboards track launches by votes, spend and domain authority. The weekly winners' board crowns top climbers.

Your momentum tables
Velora Launch runs three separate boards, each with its own ranking rules.
Community table shows every launch ranked by votes alone. The crowd decides the order—no money moves the needle here.
Billboard table is a paid ranking. Launches climb this board by money contributed (minimum $5). These spots are clearly marked so you know what you're looking at.
Domain Rating table ranks launches by their Ahrefs Domain Rating. You'll see each listing's trend (up, down or flat) and the dates we checked and when the score shifted.
Launch of the Week
Every Monday to Sunday (UTC), matchweek closes and the count is final. The top 3 launches by votes on the Community table earn Launch of the Week badges. These are handed out automatically once the week ends, and winners get an email.
It's a clean metric: velocity on the Community board is what matters. Stay in the top tier for seven days running and you've earned your stripes.
Questions people ask
- Which board decides the winner each week?
- Launch of the Week badges go to the top 3 launches on the Community table—the one ranked by votes only.
- Can I buy my way up the Community table?
- No. The Community table is votes only. Money has no effect there. The Billboard table is where paid ranking happens, and it's labelled clearly.
- When do the badges get handed out?
- Each week closes Sunday night (UTC). Badges are awarded automatically after that, and winning launches get an email.
