Every rank on this board is downstream of two systems: a flat, non-negotiable price per click, and a six-step verification pipeline that a click has to survive before it's ever billed or counted toward rank. Nothing here is an auction, and nothing here is self-reported. The four pricing rules and six fairness guarantees below are the entire mechanism — not a summary of a more complicated system, the actual thing.
A flat, platform-set rate — never a bid, never an auction. No maker can outbid another for the same eyeballs.
You prepay for an exact click count. Your listing keeps sending traffic until that budget hits zero — never oversold, never surprise-billed.
Only real click-throughs to your external URL count. On-site actions — expanding a card, hovering, browsing — are never billable.
One billable click per visitor per listing per day. A cheap, effective backstop against click-fraud.
Listings never link straight to your site. Every link routes through our server first — no on-site interaction can ever masquerade as a click.
A genuine click produces a real full-page browser navigation. Scripted or bot hits look different and are filtered before they're ever billed.
Requests should arrive from our own leaderboard page. A cheap first line of defense against casual scraping.
The same visitor can't inflate a listing's count by clicking repeatedly in one day — dedupe applies per visitor, per listing, per day.
Implausibly fast clicks, or a burst across many listings from one source in a short window, get flagged and held — never auto-billed.
We compare a click's fingerprint against the one you used managing your own listing, to block cheap self-inflation.
