The simple version
Rules
You pay for a public position. Higher cumulative bids rank higher, with no quality score or editorial boost.
Ranking
- New listings have a $5 minimum and use whole-dollar totals.
- Taking first place requires at least $5 more than the current leader.
- Equal totals retain payment order: the listing that reached the amount first ranks higher.
- Raise a listing by submitting the same canonical URL again. Checkout charges the difference shown at that moment.
- Confirmed increments accumulate. Rankings are not reserved while checkout is open.
- Bids do not expire in the initial version.
Eligible listings
- SEO software, search marketing services, agencies, consultants, analytics, content tooling, and AI-search products are eligible.
- The destination must be a public product website or public X profile.
- Chat invitations, link shorteners, affiliate parameters, malware, scams, illegal content, impersonation, hate, and sexual content are not allowed.
- We may suspend or remove a listing when it is unsafe, misleading, unlawful, unrelated to SEO, or harmful to the board.
Payments
- A successful Stripe payment—not the checkout return page—applies the bid.
- Payments buy advertising placement and are generally final.
- Fraudulent, refunded, or disputed payments may be reversed from the listing total.
- Payment processor downtime may delay ranking updates. A completed payment will be reconciled from the payment record.
Outbound links
All listing links are paid placements and use rel="sponsored nofollow". A listing is intended to deliver discovery and referral traffic, never link equity.
