Rules

There is one: the highest bid ranks highest. Everything below is a consequence of that.

How is the board ordered?

By what each listing paid, highest first. That is the entire algorithm. If two listings have paid the same amount, the one that got there first stays ahead — a tie never demotes an incumbent.

How do I take a specific rank?

Pay more than the listing that holds it. The board shows the exact figure next to every spot: the standing bid plus $1. Pay it and you move above them the moment the payment clears.

What does it cost to get on at all?

$10 is the floor. Below that you're not on the board.

How long does my spot last?

Until somebody outbids you. There is no expiry, no monthly fee and no renewal — you hold the rank you bought for as long as it's the highest bid at that position.

Someone outbid me. What happens?

You drop by one and stay on the board at the amount you paid. Nothing is refunded, and nothing is taken from you again. To climb back, raise your bid on the same link — you pay the new amount, and your listing moves to where that amount belongs.

Can I list the same link twice to take two spots?

No. A listing is identified by its link, so a second payment on the same link raises that listing instead of creating a new one. Query strings are ignored for this, so ?utm_source=won't buy you a second row.

What do I actually get?

A row with your name, your link, a 120-character pitch, and a public click counter. Every visitor to the site sees it. That's the whole product — no dashboard, no API key, no revenue share.

Are the visitor numbers real?

Yes. “Online” counts browsers that have sent a heartbeat in the last 90 seconds, and clicks are counted when someone actually follows a link — obvious crawlers excluded. We'd rather show a small honest number than a large invented one.

What can't I list?

Anything illegal, malware, or a link that impersonates someone else. Those get removed without a refund. Beyond that, paying is the only qualification.
