Rules and contact

The boards

Listings compete by category: Legal Eagles, AI Rocketships, Business Titans, Gaming Bosses, and Charity Champs. Every listing also appears on All Leaders.

Rank is always inside a category. All Leaders is a combined view, not a separate contest.

How ranking works

Rank is highest bid first. Equal bids stay in the order they last moved — the older bid keeps the higher rank.

Bids are whole and fractional US dollars, $1.00 minimum and $999,999.99 maximum, once a category already has someone on it. A bid already on the board keeps its amount until someone raises it or it gets outranked.

The first listing in an empty category is free. It goes live at $0 with no checkout. The next listing pays at least $1 to take #1, and outbidding a $0 throne costs $1.

Taking #1 costs at least $1 more than the whole-dollar floor of the current top bid. Paying less still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take.

You can list at any amount in range. Leave the bid blank and the opening price is whatever it takes to hold #1. Open seats in the top three are waiting to be claimed, but only the cheapest open rank can be taken at the minimum — the rest stay open until that one is filled.

Outbidding

Anyone can raise any listing. Choose Outbid, set a new amount, and pay. The new bid must beat that listing's current bid, and you only pay the difference.

Nobody can take a listing's rank by paying only the difference against a lower number. The charge is always measured from that listing's current bid up to the new total.

A listing can have only one live checkout at a time. Starting a new bid cancels the older unpaid session so the newest bidder can pay right away. If a payment lands too late to claim the rank it was quoted, the charge is refunded and nothing moves.

What you can list

A business. You submit a name, a website, a phone number, a US state, and an optional logo in JPEG, PNG, or WebP. The short description is taken from your website's meta description, and you can edit it to 100 characters.

You choose one category. That is the board you are competing on.

A new listing is a new row. Submitting the same website again does not raise an existing listing, it creates another one. To raise a listing that is already on the board, outbid it.

After you pay

Your listing is public. The name, description, website, phone number, state, logo, and bid are all on the board. Clicks go to the website you submitted and calls go to the number you submitted. Website links are paid placements, so they are marked as sponsored for search engines.

You bought a place on the board, not a particular URL. If the leaderboard has to move, every listing, bid, and rank goes with it, and the old address will send people to the new one.

Whoever holds #1 can paste an optional HTML badge on their own site that links back to that category board. The badge is not required to list.

A completed payment is what claims the rank. Until the payment clears, nothing is live. The free first listing in an empty category is the only exception, and it goes live immediately at $0.

What we remove

Sexual content is not allowed. That includes pornography, sexual services, and anything sexual involving anyone 17 or under. It will be taken down.

We also remove anything illegal, or that we judge is being used to break the law. That includes scams, fraud, phishing, stolen or counterfeit goods, illegal drugs, illegal weapons, malware, hacking, threats, violent crime, and content you do not have the right to post.

Listings, videos, and any other placement can be removed without a refund. Paying does not buy a pass. If we take it down, the money stays unless we decide otherwise.
