Rank is the bid — nothing else.

The board is ordered by one rule and nothing else: the higher the bid, the higher the rank.

Bids are whole US dollars. The minimum is $2 and bids move in $1 increments. No cents, ever.

Equal bids are allowed. When two listings hold the same amount, the older bid ranks higher — "older" meaning the bid whose payment completed first, because a completed payment is what claims a rank.

A bid that has not been paid for holds no rank at all. Starting a checkout reserves nothing.

#1  $842
#2  $701
#3  $620
#4  $400   ← paid first
#5  $400
#6  $350

Submitting a destination that is already on the board raises that listing instead of creating a second one.

You pay only the difference. If your listing sits at $400 and you raise it to $843, you pay $443 — not $843.

To take #1 you must beat the current top by at least $1, because an equal bid ranks below the bid that got there first.

You do not have to go for #1. Any amount above your current bid is allowed.

Anyone can raise any listing. Ownership governs a listing’s details and removal, never its bidding — otherwise someone could squat a destination for $2 and block everyone else from ever listing it.

Your listing        $400
Current #1          $842
Minimum for #1      $843
You pay             $443

A takeover buys the first position outright. It costs exactly twice the current #1 bid — if #1 is $842, a takeover is $1,684.

A takeover pays the full price, not a difference. It is a purchase of the position, not an increment on your existing bid.

A successful takeover holds #1 for three hours.

Only one takeover can run at a time. While one is being paid for, the top of the board is frozen for up to ten minutes so the price stays exact.

The countdown is measured by our server. Your device’s clock has no effect on when a lock expires.

A lock holds the first position — not the whole page.

While a lock is active: no second takeover can start, and no bid may match or beat the locked amount. The highest bid available is $1 below it. We refuse that bid before taking any money rather than accepting payment that cannot buy the position.

Everything below #1 stays open. Bidding, raising and re-ordering continue normally for every other rank.

When the lock expires the listing keeps its amount and stays #1 by the ordinary rule, until someone outbids it or takes over again.

#1  $1,684  locked  02:41:18 remaining
#2  $1,683  ← highest bid currently available
#3  $1,204  open

Product websites, company websites, SaaS products, personal product profiles, X profiles, App Store and Google Play listings, GitHub repositories, and comparable product or profile destinations.

The board is for products and profiles.

Chat groups and invite links — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal and similar — cannot be listed.

Pornographic, NSFW and adult platforms cannot be listed.

Links we cannot confidently classify are held for review rather than published. Nothing is charged for a listing that is not eligible.

One destination is one listing. Before anything is stored, every submission is normalized so the same destination cannot occupy two rows.

All query parameters are removed — every one, not a list of known trackers. Affiliate, referral and tracking links therefore do not create separate listings and confer no advantage.

Link shorteners are resolved to their destination, and the destination is what gets listed. The short link is never the identity.

Different products stay separate: two GitHub repositories under one owner, or two App Store apps, are always distinct listings.

We keep what you originally submitted alongside the normalized result, so nothing about your entry is lost.

No. There is no sign-up, no password and no account. Paste a link, choose an amount, pay — you are on the board.

Your bids are remembered on the browser you paid from, so you can come back at any time and raise them.

Your payment receipt is your proof of purchase. If you ever lose access to a listing, contact us with it and we will sort it out.

Payments are handled by Stripe. Every amount is calculated on our server — prices shown in your browser are never what you are charged from.

A bid becomes active only after we have independently verified the payment. Your browser telling us a payment succeeded is not enough.

If a payment is delivered to us more than once, it still creates exactly one bid.

If your payment completes but the board moved such that your bid cannot be admitted, the bid is not placed and the payment is flagged for refund. We do not keep money for a rank you did not get.

Abandoned checkouts expire on their own. Nothing is charged and no rank is held.

Every click on a listing is counted and shown publicly on the board, so the value of a position is visible to everyone.

Outbound clicks are tagged as utm_source=trybidup, utm_medium=referral, utm_campaign=leaderboard — so the traffic you buy shows up in your own analytics rather than as anonymous referral noise.

X, GitHub and App Store links are sent untagged, because those platforms ignore campaign parameters entirely and it would only clutter the address bar.

The tag is added when the link is followed. Your listing is stored with a clean address, so an attributed link never creates a second listing.

The board is public. A listing shows its destination, its bid, its rank and when it was placed.

Bidder identity, email addresses and payment details are never shown publicly.

Outbound links carry no endorsement and are marked as user-generated for search engines.

Limits exist to stop abuse, not to slow down real bidders: 10 checkouts per 10 minutes, 3 takeover reservations per hour, and 20 link checks per 5 minutes.

The takeover limit is the one that matters most — each reservation can freeze the top of the board for ten minutes, so an unlimited allowance would let one person stall the board.
