Why do I need to put a badge on my site to publish a free listing?

Our crawler must detect a genuine link from your website to your Nexora listing to verify ownership and publish it. Once placed, we check automatically every 7 days.

How do I make my badge link dofollow instead of nofollow?

The badge link becomes dofollow automatically when your site's Domain Rating (Ahrefs) reaches 20 and our spam checks pass. Paid listings receive dofollow links by default.

What happens if I remove the badge after publishing?

Your listing will move back to "waiting for badge" status and we'll email you. Restore the badge to re-publish it immediately.

Broadcasting your signal

Every listing can display the Nexora Launch badge on your own website. Visit your listing's badge page to choose your design—select the shape, colour scheme (light or dark) and size that fits your site. Copy the HTML snippet and embed it where you want it to appear. The badge links directly to your listing page here, bringing traffic back to your signal on Nexora.

Publishing your free listing

Free listings require the badge to go live. Our crawler automatically searches for a link to your listing page on your website. We re-check every 7 days to confirm it's still there (any badge design works). If the badge disappears, your listing moves back to "waiting for badge" status and we send you a notification. Once you restore it, your listing re-publishes automatically without intervention.

When your link becomes dofollow

The badge link starts as nofollow. Our system evaluates it live using your site's Domain Rating (via Ahrefs) and our spam checks. When your Domain Rating reaches 20 or higher and you pass verification, the link upgrades to dofollow. If either condition is not met, it remains nofollow. Paid launches receive a dofollow link on their listing page to your website automatically.

Achievement badges

Launch of the Week winners, Featured, Launched and Verified badges appear on your listing when earned. These signal community signal and build credibility for incoming users.
