The Front page placement

Front page—our Featured launch offering—places your listing in the labelled Featured spot on the homepage for 7 days. The cost is $19. This is a paid placement only. It carries no vote, adds nothing to any leaderboard, and leaves all rankings unchanged.

Buying Front page

You can buy Front page for any listing that is live or booked into a launch week, whether free or paid. When you submit your listing, the option appears on the plan step. You can also buy it later: sign in, go to /account/listings, and select "Upgrades and extras" next to your listing. Current pricing is filed on /pricing.

When your Front page runs

If your listing is already live, the 7 days begin when payment clears. If your launch is booked for a later week, the days begin on the Monday that week opens, as your listing goes live. Buying Front page again whilst it is running adds 7 more days after the current term ends. Should you move your launch week, your Front page dates move with it.

What Front page is not

Front page is distinct from Sponsored slots (see /sponsor), from the billboard (paid ranking by money), and from community votes. These cannot be exchanged for one another.
