Rules

A public leaderboard where position is bought. No ads, no revenue share, no editorial judgement. Rank is the bid, and every rule below is enforced in code rather than described here and hoped for.

How ranking works

  • Bids are whole US dollars per week. The floor is $5 and the ceiling is $999,999.
  • Taking #1 costs at least $5 above the current top bid. Every other rank costs $1 above its current holder.
  • Bidding less than the top still puts you on the board, at whatever rank that amount reaches.
  • Equal bids keep the order they were placed. The older bid holds the higher rank, so nobody takes a position by matching it.
  • Enter the same URL or handle again to raise your bid. You pay only the difference, and your position age carries over.
  • Set a ceiling and we raise your bid automatically by the minimum step when someone outbids you, until the ceiling is reached.
  • Every listing belongs to a category, read automatically from the page you link. Category boards rank the same bids against a smaller field, so each category has its own #1.

Chip-ins

  • Anyone can pay to push any listing up the board — not just its owner. Chip-ins convert to rank the moment the payment settles; there is no goal to reach first and no escrow.
  • A chip-in counts on top of the standing bid until the listing's next weekly renewal, then it expires. The owner is never charged for money others put in.
  • Outbidding a chipped-up listing means beating the standing bid plus its chip-ins.
  • Backer names are public on the listing page. Chip-ins are not refundable once applied.

Billing

  • Your bid is a weekly amount. The card you pay with is charged again every seven days to hold the rank.
  • Cancel any time from the manage page. Billing stops immediately and the rank opens back up.
  • If a renewal fails you keep the rank for 3 more days while you fix the card. After that the listing comes off the board.
  • Raises are charged as the difference, immediately. Renewals then continue at the new amount.
  • A completed payment is what claims a rank. Starting checkout reserves nothing.

What you can list

  • A product website, or an X handle.
  • One bid per product. Different paths on the same domain are the same listing, so the board can't be papered with twenty URLs from one site.
  • App Store, Play Store, and GitHub links are keyed by their path, so separate apps and repos are separate listings.
  • Query strings are stripped from every listing link. Affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs will not survive.
  • Link shorteners are resolved to their destination, and the destination is what gets judged.
  • No chat or invite links — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal and the like. The board is for products and profiles.
  • No adult content.

What you're actually buying

  • Clicks, and a public position. Nothing else.
  • Every outbound link is marked rel="sponsored", so a rank passes no ranking signal to your site. Anyone selling you paid placement as an SEO backlink is either wrong or lying.
  • Each row shows its cost per click, computed from the bid and the clicks it has delivered. Judge the price against that number.
  • Each week's final standings are archived at a permanent URL. Holding a rank for a week stays true after you stop paying.

Removal

  • Listings that break these rules are removed and refunded for the unused portion of the week.
  • We don't edit descriptions to make a listing sound better, and we don't reorder the board for any reason other than the bids.
