Plain-English mechanics

Rules

The ranking rule is intentionally auditable: confirmed spend decides paid rank. Rankings are advertisements, not reviews, endorsements, votes, or product-quality scores.

All-time ranking

  1. A new listing requires at least $1 in whole US dollars.
  2. All-time rank orders active listings by cumulative confirmed spend, highest first.
  3. If two listings have exactly the same cumulative amount, the listing that reached its placement earlier ranks first.
  4. To take global #1, your target total must be at least $5 above the current leader.
  5. An existing listing can be raised by submitting the same normalized destination. You pay only the difference between its current total and your new target total, with a minimum $1 raise.

Checkout does not reserve a position

A rank changes only after the payment provider confirms payment to our server. If another placement settles while you are checking out, your confirmed amount lands at whatever position it supports when settlement occurs. The browser success page never grants a rank.

If two checkouts for the same listing settle close together, each confirmed charge is added to that listing’s cumulative spend. We do not silently discard a valid payment because the public board changed during checkout.

Today and Daily

Today ranks products by confirmed spend during the rolling previous 24 hours. Each payment falls out exactly 24 hours after confirmation.

Daily ranks products by confirmed spend during a UTC calendar day. Closed days remain available as historical archives.

Listings and destinations

  • Use a product website or supported public profile that you own or are authorized to promote.
  • Tracking query strings are removed from the canonical listing identity. Redirects are resolved before the listing is stored.
  • Chat invites, phishing, malware, fraud, unlawful goods/services, hateful or violent content, and deceptive destinations are prohibited.
  • We may recategorize, review, hide, or remove a listing for safety, legal, payment, or policy reasons.

Clicks

Public click counts are abuse-filtered outbound clicks, not raw redirect hits. Repeated visits from the same browser or network within a short window, known bots, and obvious automated traffic may not increase the public number.

No traffic guarantee

Payment buys ranking service only. It does not guarantee a number of visitors, customers, sales, revenue, search rankings, or a minimum duration at any position.
