Why WeekHack submissions get rejected or stall
- Free launches that don't finish in the top 3 get a nofollow backlink instead of dofollow
- Free launches are placed in the next available week, which can be a few weeks to a couple of months out
- Premium launches are guaranteed a dofollow backlink, but free launches must earn it through votes
- No refunds once launch week is confirmed
Tips for a listing that gets approved
- Use the AI-assisted import by pasting your Product Hunt link to prefill your submission.
- If you want a guaranteed dofollow backlink and faster launch, pay the $19 premium.
- Consider adding the directory power-up to get listed on 50+ other directories for $99.
- Free launches can still earn a dofollow backlink by finishing in the top 3, so encourage your community to vote.
Our take on WeekHack
WeekHack is worth submitting for indie hackers and makers who want community exposure and a chance at a dofollow backlink. The free tier is decent but competitive; the $19 premium is a cheap way to guarantee a dofollow link and skip the queue.
