Questions
- Is the link from Pingsold dofollow?
- Yes, once any one of these holds: your traffic is verified, the Pingsold badge is on your homepage, or you have an Instant listing. Until then the profile link is nofollow, like any user-submitted link.
- Is listing free?
- Yes. Submitting is free and free listings are published from a daily queue after review; the badge on your homepage moves you ahead in it. Verifying your traffic and adding the badge are free too. The $29 Instant listing only skips the queue and guarantees the dofollow link without a badge.
- Does the link stay dofollow forever?
- For as long as the reason holds: while your analytics stay connected and verified, while the badge stays on your homepage (checked weekly), or while the Instant payment stands.
- Does paying change my rank?
- No. Leaderboards are ranked by verified traffic and growth, and by Ahrefs Domain Rating on the Domain Rating board. Payment never moves a startup up.
