Covers free submission (nofollow backlink), paid dofollow backlinks (DR59), $49/month advertising, Top 50 Leaderboard, category browsing, and voting system. Use when your product needs guaranteed front-page visibility, you want the DR59 dofollow backlink from Super Launch, you're unsure if the $49 ad spend is worth it, or you're comparing Super Launch against other launch directories. Do NOT use for multi-directory launch strategy (use /sales-launch-directory). Do NOT use for Product Hunt launches (use /product-hunt-launch)." argument-hint: "[describe what you need help with on Super Launch]" license: MIT version: 1.0.0 tags: [sales, product-launch, startup, directory, platform] --- # Super Launch Platform Help Helps the user submit to, optimize listings on, and get the most from Super Launch — a minimalist product launch directory that guarantees every product 7 days on the front page. ## Step 1 — Gather context If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge. Ask the user: 1. **What do you need help with?** - A) Submitting a product to Super Launch - B) Understanding the backlink situation (free vs paid) - C) Evaluating if Super Launch advertising ($49) is worth it - D) Comparing Super Launch with other directories - E) Something else — describe it 2. **What's your product?** - A) SaaS / software tool - B) Mobile app - C) API / developer tool - D) No-code / low-code tool - E) Something else 3. **What's your primary goal?** - A) SEO backlinks (dofollow) - B) Visibility and early users - C) Both - D) Just getting listed everywhere **If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step.** Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end. ## Step 2 — Route or answer directly If the request maps to a different skill, route: - Multi-directory launch strategy → `/sales-launch-directory` - Product Hunt launch → `/sales-producthunt` - Email marketing to subscribers → `/sales-email-marketing` - Landing page optimization → `/sales-checkout` - Audience growth strategy → `/sales-audience-growth` - Other specific directory platforms → hand off to that platform's skill Otherwise, answer directly from the Super Launch reference below. ## Step 3 — Super Launch platform reference ### Platform overview | Detail | Value | |---|---| | URL | superlaun.ch | | Founder | Aditya Tiwari (@Aditya_T007) | | Model | Directory with guaranteed 7-day front page placement | | Free submission | Yes — 7 days on front page, nofollow backlink | | Paid advertising | $49/month — carousel placement across all pages (10 slots/month) | | DR | 59 (per LaunchDirectories) | | Backlink (free) | Nofollow | | Backlink (paid) | Dofollow | | Leaderboard | Top 50 products by votes | | Categories | Security, Productivity, Developer Tools, Gaming, Marketing & Growth, and more | | API | None | ### Free vs paid backlink behavior This is the key distinction on Super Launch: | Tier | Cost | Front page | Backlink | Dofollow? | |---|---|---|---|---| | Free submission | $0 | 7 days | Yes | **No** — nofollow | | Paid/featured | Varies | 7 days | Yes | **Yes** — dofollow (DR59) | | Advertising | $49/month | Carousel on all pages | Yes | Unknown — likely dofollow | **Important**: LaunchDirectories reports Super Launch as "dofollow, free" generically, but the actual page data shows free listings get `dofollow: false` and paid listings get `dofollow: true`. The free tier gives you a nofollow backlink. If you need a dofollow backlink, you'll need a paid listing. ### Submission process 1. **Create an account** at superlaun.ch 2. **Prepare materials**: product description, screenshots, founder story 3. **Submit your product** following the platform's guidelines 4. **Your product appears on the front page for 7 days** — guaranteed, no editorial gatekeeping 5. **Engage with the community** — respond to votes and comments 6. **Aim for the Top 50 Leaderboard** — high vote counts get you on the permanent leaderboard ### Advertising option ($49/month) - Auto-rotating carousel placement across home, category, product, and dashboard pages - Logo, description, and direct link to your site - Mobile and desktop visibility - Only 10 ad slots per month (exclusivity) - All ads reviewed for quality and relevance - After purchase, you receive email instructions to submit ad details ### How Super Launch compares | Aspect | Super Launch | Open Launch | ProductBurst | SoloPush | |---|---|---|---|---| | Price (free) | Free | Free | Free | Free | | DR | 59 | 65 | 46 | 46-47 | | Free backlink type | **Nofollow** | Dofollow (conditional) | Dofollow | Dofollow | | Paid backlink | Dofollow ($49/mo ad) | Dofollow ($12) | Featured fee | None | | Front page time | 7 days guaranteed | Until pushed off | Until pushed off | Until pushed off | | Queue | None — instant | Queue (free) / next day ($12) | None — instant | None — instant | | Voting | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Leaderboard | Top 50 | Daily rankings | Daily/weekly | Daily trending | ### When Super Launch makes sense **Good fit:** - You want guaranteed 7-day visibility with no editorial queue - You're doing a broad directory sweep and want another listing - You can afford $49/month for a DR59 dofollow backlink via advertising **Not ideal:** - Your primary goal is a free dofollow backlink — free tier is nofollow. Use SoloPush, ProductBurst, or Open Launch instead - You need a permanent always-visible listing — 7-day front page then you rotate off (though you remain in the directory) ## Step 4 — Actionable guidance ### For users submitting (free tier) 1. Create account at superlaun.ch 2. Prepare: clear product name, problem-focused tagline, screenshots of product in action 3. Submit your product 4. Add UTM tracking: `?utm_source=superlaunch&utm_medium=directory&utm_campaign=launch` 5. Engage during your 7-day window — ask your network to vote 6. After 7 days, your product moves off the front page but stays in the directory and can appear on the leaderboard **Note**: The free backlink is nofollow. If dofollow backlinks are your goal, prioritize other directories first (SoloPush, ProductBurst, Open Launch). ### For users considering the $49/month ad **Compare with alternatives:** - **$49/month on Super Launch** = carousel ad across all pages + likely dofollow backlink (DR59) - **$12 on Open Launch** = guaranteed DR65 dofollow backlink + next-day launch (one-time, not monthly) - **$39 on CtrlAlt.cc** = 1-week homepage feature + dofollow backlink (one-time) - **$39/month on MicroLaunch Pro** = skip queue + 2x visibility + DR59 backlink **Verdict**: The $49/month ad is expensive compared to one-time alternatives. Unless you want ongoing ad visibility on Super Launch specifically, one-time paid options at other directories deliver better backlink value per dollar. ### For multi-directory launchers Super Launch fits into **Phase 1 — Instant listings** as a free, no-queue submission. The nofollow backlink is a downside compared to SoloPush and ProductBurst (both free dofollow), but the 7-day guaranteed front page is a nice perk. Submit it alongside other instant platforms on Day 1. ## Gotchas *Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about backlink type and pricing that may change.* - **Free tier backlinks are nofollow.** Despite some sources reporting "dofollow, free," the actual page data shows free listings get nofollow links. Only paid/featured listings get dofollow. Always verify after your listing goes live. - **DR59 is strong but only for paid.** DR59 would rank Super Launch among the top directories — but only if you get the dofollow variant, which requires paying. - **$49/month is recurring.** Unlike one-time payments at Open Launch ($12) or CtrlAlt.cc ($39), the Super Launch ad is a monthly subscription. Cancel if you only need the backlink. - **7-day front page is nice but limited.** After 7 days, your product rotates off the homepage. You remain in the directory but visibility drops significantly. - **10 ad slots per month.** If all 10 slots are taken, you can't purchase advertising until the next month. - **No editorial queue — low barrier.** This means less curation, so the quality of co-listed products varies more than on editorial platforms. - **Self-improving**: If you discover something not covered here, append it to `references/learnings.md` with today's date. ## Related skills - `/sales-launch-directory` — Coordinates submissions across 10+ startup directories with sequencing, backlink stacking, and budget allocation - `/sales-openlaunch` — Open Launch platform help (open-source PH alternative, DR65 backlinks) - `/sales-productburst` — ProductBurst platform help (daily/weekly rankings, instant listing) - `/sales-solopush` — SoloPush platform help (no-pressure indie maker community) - `/sales-openhunts` — OpenHunts platform help (weekly launch cycle, DR50 backlinks) - `/sales-microlaunch` — MicroLaunch platform help (30-day leaderboard, deals marketplace) - `/sales-producthunt` — Product Hunt platform help (largest launch platform, DR91 dofollow, 5M+ visits/mo) - `/sales-do` — Not sure which skill to use?

Walks through the submission process — account creation, materials prep 2. Notes the 7-day guaranteed front page placement 3. Warns that the free backlink is nofollow, not dofollow 4. Recommends engaging during the 7-day window to maximize votes and leaderboard placement **Result**: Product submitted with realistic expectations about backlink value ### Example 2: Evaluate if $49/month ad is worth it **User says**: "Should I pay $49/month for Super Launch advertising?" **Skill does**: 1. Explains what the ad includes — carousel placement, all pages, 10 slots/month exclusivity 2. Compares with one-time alternatives: Open Launch $12 (DR65 dofollow), CtrlAlt.cc $39 (dofollow) 3. Notes the $49 is recurring vs one-time at other platforms 4. Recommends: only if you want ongoing visibility on Super Launch. For a one-time dofollow backlink, cheaper options exist **Result**: Clear cost-benefit comparison with actionable recommendation ### Example 3: Compare Super Launch with free dofollow directories **User says**: "I want free dofollow backlinks — is Super Launch good for that?" **Skill does**: 1. Clarifies that Super Launch free tier is nofollow despite some sources claiming dofollow 2. Recommends SoloPush (DR46-47 dofollow, free), ProductBurst (DR46 dofollow, free), and Open Launch (DR65 conditional dofollow, free) 3. Suggests still submitting to Super Launch for the 7-day visibility, just don't count it for SEO **Result**: User knows where to get free dofollow backlinks and where Super Launch fits ## Troubleshooting ### Backlink shows as nofollow after submitting for free **Symptom**: Listed on Super Launch but the backlink is nofollow **Cause**: Free submissions get nofollow backlinks. Only paid/featured listings get dofollow. **Solution**: This is expected behavior. If you need a dofollow backlink from Super Launch, you'll need to purchase advertising ($49/month). For free dofollow backlinks, use SoloPush, ProductBurst, or other platforms listed in `/sales-launch-directory`. ### Product not visible after 7 days **Symptom**: Product was on the front page but now can't be found **Cause**: The 7-day front page placement expired. Your product moves to the general directory but is no longer prominently featured. **Solution**: Your product is still listed — it just isn't on the homepage anymore. If you accumulated enough votes, you may appear on the Top 50 Leaderboard. To regain visibility, consider the $49/month advertising option or focus on other directories where your listing is permanent. ### Low vote count during 7-day window **Symptom**: Product on the front page but getting very few votes **Cause**: Super Launch has unknown traffic levels, and your product may not be in a popular category **Solution**: Promote your Super Launch listing on your own channels (Twitter, email list, communities). Ask early users to vote. The 7-day window is guaranteed regardless of vote count — use it for exposure even if votes are low. Focus your backlink efforts on higher-traffic directories.
