Monthly DR Updates for Startup Directories

Hey everyone 👋

I run LaunchDirectories.com

It's a curated list of startup launch platforms (like Product Hunt, BetaList, IndieHackers, etc.), where founders can submit their products.

To make it more useful, every month I update the Domain Rating (DR) of these directories. DR is an Ahrefs metric (0–100) that shows how strong a site’s backlink profile is. In short: the higher the DR, the more authority and SEO value you can get when launching your product there.

This month’s update came a bit early 😅 and here are the highlights:

📈 Top 3 Gains

• Firsto (+18)
• PeerPush (+7)
• Startups Lab (+7)

📉 Top 3 Drops

• FindYourSaaS (−8)
• Openhunts (−5)
• DevHunt (−4)

You can check the full list (with all DRs) here 👉 launchdirectories.com

Curious to hear your thoughts:

• Do you look at DR when choosing where to launch?
• Should I also track other metrics (like traffic estimates, social reach)?
