The Front-page Featured slot explained
The Front-page Featured slot (also called the Featured launch) puts your listing in the Featured position on the homepage. It runs for 7 days and costs $19. The slot carries a clear Featured label so visitors know it is paid space. It does not add votes to your listing and it does not change any ranking or leaderboard position.
How to buy it
You can buy Featured if your listing is live now or booked into a launch week. Purchase it during submission on the plan step, or later:
- Sign in and go to /account/listings
- Find your listing
- Select "Upgrades and extras" next to it
- Choose Featured
Current pricing appears on /pricing.
Timing and renewals
If your listing is live, your 7 days begin immediately after payment. If your launch is scheduled for a later week, they start on the Monday that week opens, when your listing goes live. You can extend Featured by purchasing it again: the new 7 days begin when the current run ends. If you reschedule your launch week, your Featured period moves to that new week.
What Featured does not do
Featured is distinct from Sponsored slots (see /sponsor), the paid ranking billboard and community voting. These cannot be exchanged for one another.
Questions people ask

- Yes. Buy it again and 7 more days will run after your current period ends.
- Does Featured affect how my listing ranks or how many votes it gets?
- No. Featured is paid placement only. It does not add votes and it does not change rankings or leaderboards.
