Rules

Short version: the board is a price ladder, and the price is the whole ranking algorithm.

1. 01

   A new spot starts at $5

   Any amount from $5 up puts you on the board, in whole dollars.

2. 02

   Rank follows the money

   The board is sorted by bid, highest first. Nothing else moves you.

3. 03

   Taking #1 costs $1 over the leader

   Bidding less than that is fine — you land wherever your bid puts you.

4. 04

   Raising your own listing costs $1 more, and you pay the difference

   Submit the same link again with a higher number; you are charged the gap, not the full bid.

5. 05

   Ties keep their order

   If two listings sit on the same amount, the one that got there first stays above.

6. 06

   Links are cleaned up

   Query strings and fragments are stripped, so tracking and affiliate parameters never carry over.

7. 07

   One domain, one listing

   Different pages on the same site are the same listing. Profile and app-store links are keyed by their path instead.

8. 08

   Some links are not listed

   Chat and invite links, link shorteners, and adult content are turned away.

9. 09

   Payment is what claims the spot

   Nothing moves until the payment settles. Bids are final and are not refunded when someone outbids you.
