How the Vistaro badge works on your site
Display our badge to publish a free listing, and learn when your link becomes dofollow.
Updated
Getting your badge live
Every listing can carry our badge on your own website. Visit your listing's badge page to pick a design—choose the shape, colour scheme and size that suits you—then copy the HTML snippet into your site. This snippet creates a link back to your listing here on Vistaro Launch.
Publishing requirements for free listings
If you've chosen a free listing, we need to see that badge active on your website before we'll publish. Our crawler checks automatically and rechecks every 7 days. Should the badge disappear, your listing moves back to "waiting for badge" and you'll receive an email. Restore it, and we'll re-publish automatically.
How your link's follow status is determined
Your badge link begins as nofollow. Our system then decides live: it becomes dofollow when your site's Domain Rating (Ahrefs) reaches at least 20 and passes our spam checks; otherwise it remains nofollow. Paid launches receive a dofollow link to your website displayed on the listing page itself. Free listings show a nofollow link.
Recognition badges across the view
Other badges—Launch of the Week, Featured, Launched and Verified—appear on your listing as you earn them. No action needed on your part; these arrive automatically.
