Rules
Rank is your bid. Every dollar you pay is locked in as your permanent floor. Clicks earn bonus bid on top that decays 10%/day.
Your bid has two parts
Every listing's bid is Floor + Earnings. The floor is what you paid — it's permanent and never decays. Earnings are what you build on top through clicks, and those decay 10%/day.
Pay $1, your floor is $1, forever. Your listing can never drop below that. Get a viral spike that adds $40 in click credits and your bid jumps to $41 — then the $40 above the floor starts decaying at 10%/day while the $1 stays put.
This is different from most paid boards. Elsewhere you either buy a slot and it sits there forever (which turns the board into a museum), or your money burns down to zero over a few weeks (which makes paying feel like renting attention on a lease). Neither is honest.
A permanent floor means your money is protected. Decaying earnings mean the board still moves — the top isn't locked, and viral traffic still matters. You keep what you paid, and you fight for everything above it.
Important: earnings decay is continuous, not a once-a-day snapshot. Refresh the board a few minutes after your listing earns click credits and the above-floor portion will already show slightly lower. That's working correctly.
Clicks = free bids
Every unique click on your listing tops it up automatically. Two kinds — direct (someone clicks the listing from the board) and referred (someone comes in through your share link, which has ?ref= baked in). Both credits count as normal bid rows.
How much each click is worth depends on the listing's tier. Tier is set by the listing's lifetime paid amount — the more you've paid into a listing over its life, the more each click is worth. All lifetime spend is grandfathered, so existing listings jump straight to the tier they've already earned.
| Tier | Lifetime paid | Direct click | Referred click |
|---|---|---|---|
| starter | $1–25 | +$0.25 | +$0.50 |
| bronze | $26–100 | +$0.50 | +$1.00 |
| silver | $101–1000 | +$1.00 | +$2.00 |
| gold | $1001+ | +$2.00 | +$4.00 |
Click earnings decay at the same 10%/day for everyone regardless of tier — bigger rewards, but the above-floor portion still burns down and the top still has to earn its rank every day.
Both credits show up as normal bid rows — visible in the bid history, counting toward peak value, contributing to rank.
Uniqueness is enforced by IP + user-agent hash: 1 credit per listing per visitor per hour. That blocks bot floods and rapid-fire self-clicking. There is also a global rate cap of 30 outbound clicks per minute per IP as a hard bot brake.
No daily cap. A listing that goes genuinely viral can earn back hundreds or even thousands of dollars in click credits. Traffic pays for itself.
Post it. DM it. Tell your list. The board pays back the reach.
How it works
- The board is sorted by current listing value (floor + earnings). That's the only ranking signal — no editors, no algorithm.
- Every dollar you pay adds to a permanent floor. Your bid can never drop below what you paid.
- Click earnings on top of the floor burn 10% per day, continuously. A two-week-old click spike can't hold #1.
- Listings with no paid history never sink below $1 — old listings become cheap, not deleted.
- To climb higher, either pay more (raises your floor) or earn more clicks (raises the decaying earnings).
- Total clicks and cost-per-click are public on every listing. That's the point — no black box.
- Min bid is $1. All payments are USD, in whole dollars.
- We don't curate. We don't recommend. We show what was paid and what happened.
