That is the site's own figure, not one we measured, and a Domain Rating is not a promise of traffic or ranking. ## Link type, and how we know Link type on a free (or the only) listing: **Not checked**. We have not checked this, so we do not state it. Conditions: Paid launches: a permanent dofollow link. The free launch's link type is not stated The pages we opened on November 2, 2026: - [startupbase.io/](https://startupbase.io/) - [startupbase.io/launch](https://startupbase.io/launch) - [startupbase.io/submit](https://startupbase.io/submit) - [startupbase.io/products/everstamp](https://startupbase.io/products/everstamp) - [startupbase.io/products/clapstorm](https://startupbase.io/products/clapstorm) - [startupbase.io/products/whacka](https://startupbase.io/products/whacka) A nofollow, sponsored or UGC link tells search engines not to count it as a vote; a plain (dofollow) link can be counted. Either way, a listing is worth more for the people who see it than for the link. ## Who StartupBase suits StartupBase suits daily launches with a free queue or paid fixed date.
