What decides the rank for product launches on Product Hunt?

Question

Only Upvotes or anything more?

Oksana Chyketa · Accepted Answer

The quality of the upvote is important. Meaning that if a person went through your link to support your product on PH and registered a new account for that on the same day, their upvote would count less than the one from an established PH user.

Apart from upvotes, I believe that an overall activity e.g. comments is also impacts the rank on PH.

upvotes, comments, and account age plays into it.

like you get more "points" fo upvotes/comments from someone with a 1 month old account than you would with someone who just created one.

or rather, a new account doesn't give as many 'points'

@oksana_ch Thanks! I noticed sometimes with couple of products having more upvotes but in later rank than the ones on top list.

Now I know, upvotes are not the only decisive factor and that even make sense.
