Ranking rules
Last updated August 29, 2026
How rank is decided
Rank is mechanical. The product with the highest total amount paid in USD sits at #1. Category is a label on the card — it does not start a separate $1 price. There is no editorial score, no recency boost, and no hidden algorithm.
All-time rank uses lifetime bid total. Today's board uses only bids credited that UTC day. If two products have the same total, the one that reached it first stays ahead.
How to take a spot
Submit a product URL, pick a category, and pay a bid. The first #1 on an empty board is $1. After that, taking #1 in any category costs at least $1 more than the current highest bid on the board. After Razorpay confirms the payment, that amount is added to your listing and ranks recalculate.
Anyone can outbid you later by paying more. Your previous bid stays on the total — it is not refunded if someone passes you.
Payments
Bids are in US dollars. Checkout is processed by Razorpay. Rank is credited only after a verified payment, not when you open the checkout page. Failed or cancelled payments do not change the board.
Bids are non-refundable. They buy a public rank based on money paid, not a guaranteed number of clicks.
Clicks
Visit Website goes through a tracked redirect. We count clicks and unique clicks. Repeat hits from the same visitor in a short window are not counted as unique. Automated or fake traffic can be ignored or the listing removed.
Listings
You must submit a real product URL you have the right to list. We may hide or remove listings that are spam, malware, impersonation, illegal, or that try to game clicks or payments. Category must match the product.
What the board shows
The public board shows product name, tagline, category, bid amount, click counts, and a link to the site. That data is public because it is how ranking and discovery work.
