RankBid

Rules & Guidelines

Simple rules that keep RankBid fair, useful and spam-free for everyone.

Listing Requirements

  • Your product must have a working, live URL or profile of its own, not a general page such as a social network’s home or feed
  • You must own the product or be authorised to represent it
  • Use an accurate title and description
  • Pick the category that best fits your product
  • One listing per product: no duplicates

How Voting Works

  • Submitting and voting are 100% free
  • Vote with your account, or as a guest with your name and email from a maker’s support link (it counts once you confirm it by email)
  • Each person gets one vote per product. Makers may vote for their own product once, like everyone else
  • All-time rankings use total votes; Today uses votes since midnight in your time zone
  • Rankings update in real time as votes come in

Fair Play

These will get listings removed and accounts banned:

  • Fake accounts, bots or vote buying/trading
  • Any attempt to manipulate rankings
  • Bots or scripts that inflate click counts
  • Fake products or misleading claims
  • Harassment, hate speech or abuse

Banned Content

  • Chat/group invite links (Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp)
  • Adult or NSFW content
  • URL shorteners: use direct links only
  • Phishing, malware, scams or illegal products

Sponsored Spots (Optional)

  • Optional: the vote leaderboard ranks on votes alone
  • You choose the price (from $1); sponsored products are ranked by price
  • Pay more than a listing to rank above it; on equal prices whoever paid first stays ahead
  • The top 10 show first on the homepage, the rest are on its next pages, and every sponsored product is on the Sponsored page
  • Pay once: a sponsorship has no end date
  • No refunds: once your listing is live, we cannot refund the amount you paid for your position, unless the law requires it
  • Sponsored products follow the same content rules as everyone else

Daily Rankings & Archive

  • The Today board counts votes since midnight in your time zone and resets at your next midnight
  • The top products for each UTC day are saved to the Archive
  • All-time rankings never reset
