Rules
Short, because there are not many.
1.Rank is the bid
The board is ordered by how much each listing has paid, highest first. There is no algorithm, no voting and no editorial judgement. If two listings are tied, the one that got there first ranks higher — so overtaking always costs strictly more than matching.
2.What it costs
New listings start at $5, in whole dollars. Bidding less than the #1 price still puts you on the board, at whatever place that bid can take — you do not have to fight for the top spot to be seen.
3.Raising your bid
Already listed? Enter the same URL again to raise your bid, minimum $1 above your current one. You are charged only the difference, never the full new amount.
4.The board climbs one rung at a time
A single bid cannot exceed the current top bid by more than $50 or 20%, whichever is larger. This is deliberate. Boards that allow unlimited jumps get spiked to an unreachable number by one bidder and then go dead — a well-known competitor watched #1 go from $1,250 to $10,000 in a handful of bids and then sat still for hours. A capped ladder keeps the bidding alive. You can always bid again once yours lands.
5.Trending cannot be bought
The trending strip is ordered purely by real clicks in the last hour. No amount of money moves it. Click counts and cost-per-click are shown openly on every row, so you can see exactly what a position is returning before you pay for it.
6.What is allowed
Your own product site. Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Signal and similar — nor are social profiles, link aggregators or other bid boards. Nothing sexual, deceptive or unlawful.
7.How URLs are matched
Tracking and affiliate parameters are stripped, and www. is ignored, so the same site cannot occupy two positions. On code hosts like GitHub, a listing is keyed by owner and repository rather than the domain — two different projects hosted in the same place are two different listings, as they should be.
8.Bids are final
There is no end date, no refunds and no payouts. You are buying placement, not an asset. If someone outbids you, your listing stays on the board at your bid — it simply moves down. Anything removed for breaking these rules is not refunded.
9.Arena links are marked as paid
Every outbound link here carries rel="sponsored nofollow" and these pages are not indexed by search engines. That is a rule we follow, not a favour: selling indexed links would put the directory itself at risk. You are buying human traffic, not SEO.
