The rules
Your bid is your rank.
Claimrank is deliberately simple. Products are ordered by paid bid amount, with only a few rules needed to keep the board predictable.
How ranking works
- New listings start at $1 USD. Every bid is a whole dollar.
- Higher bids rank higher. Equal bids keep the order in which they were completed, so the older placement stays ahead.
- You can choose any bid above $1. If it does not take first place, the product lands at whichever position that amount reaches.
- To move an existing product, submit the exact same normalized website again. The new bid must be at least $1 higher, and checkout charges only the difference.
What can be listed
- A public website for a software tool or application.
- The URL must use HTTP or HTTPS and return a publicly reachable HTML page.
- Tracking and query parameters are removed. Paths remain part of the identity, so distinct app or marketplace pages stay distinct.
- The displayed name, description, and logo are collected automatically from the submitted website.
- The submitter chooses the most relevant product category. Categories organize discovery but do not change bid ranking.
After checkout
- A completed PayPal capture publishes or updates the listing.
- The listing and bid amount are public. Product links open the submitted destination.
- Payments are final and non-refundable except where applicable law requires otherwise.
