← The board

How the board works

There is no algorithm, no vote, and no review. Position is bought.

1. Rank is total spend

Every store's position is the sum of what it has promoted, highest first. Spend more than the store above you and you take its place. Ties go to whoever got there first.

2. You choose the amount

The minimum promotion is $5. The board suggests what it costs to take the top spot right now, but the number is yours to set.

3. Promotions add up and do not expire

Paste the same storefront link again and the new amount is added to your running total. Nothing decays, so a position is only lost when somebody spends past it.

4. Amazon storefronts only

Seller profile links (/sp?seller=…) and brand store links (/stores/…). We read the store name and rating straight from the public page. Tracking, referral and affiliate parameters are stripped from every link before it is stored.

5. Promotions are final

A promotion changes the board the moment it clears, so it cannot be refunded or transferred, and it has no cash value. Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, who act as merchant of record.
