# Get a dofollow backlink from the EarlyHunt launch directory

Create an EarlyHunt account, open the Launch form and submit your product with its URL so the tool gets listed. The listing carries a link back to your site, adding a relevant directory placement to your backlink profile. Confirm the listing is live and the link is actually dofollow before counting it.

## Prerequisites

- A live product or tool page with a public URL
- An email address to register an EarlyHunt account

## Steps

1. **Create an EarlyHunt account** — Register on EarlyHunt with a working email address and complete the confirmation step so the submission form becomes available.
   Check: You can sign in and reach your account dashboard without an unverified-email prompt.
2. **Open the Launch submission form** — From the main menu, select the Launch option to open the product submission form.
   Check: The Launch page displays fields for product name, description and URL.
3. **Add product details and the target URL** — Fill in the product name, a short description and the exact URL you want the link to point at. Prefer a dedicated product or feature page over the homepage when one exists, so the link is topically relevant.
   Check: The URL field contains the full https:// address of the intended page and the form shows no validation error.
4. **Submit the tool** — Send the form and wait for the listing to be published, which the source says happens shortly after submission.
   Check: A confirmation message appears and the submission is visible in your account as pending or live.
5. **Confirm the live link is dofollow** *(general best practice)* — Open the published listing page and inspect the link markup to your domain. A dofollow link has no rel="nofollow" or rel="sponsored" attribute. If the link is nofollow, the placement still brings referral traffic but no link equity.
   Check: Fetching the listing page and searching the HTML for your domain returns an anchor tag without rel="nofollow" or rel="sponsored".
6. **Record the listing for later checks** *(general best practice)* — Add the live listing URL to your backlink tracker so you can re-check the link attribute and status during future audits, since directories sometimes change outbound link policies.
   Check: The tracker row contains the listing URL, the target page and a status field marked live and dofollow.
