| Rule | Published value | Buyer implication |
|---|---|---|
| New listing | $5–$999,999 in whole dollars | Amounts below the floor are not accepted |
| All-time number one | At least $5 above the current leader | The required price rises with the board |
| Raise an existing listing | Increase total by at least $1; pay the difference | Historical spend is not charged again |
| Equal bids | Older bid stays higher | Matching a total may not pass it |
| Today board | Spend during a rolling 24-hour window | Each payment drops from Today after 24 hours |
| Refunds | Completed payments are generally final | Being outranked does not create a refund |
All-time and Today answer different questions
The all-time board ranks the verified cumulative total attached to each listing. The Today board ranks money spent during the last 24 hours. One payment therefore has a persistent all-time effect but only a 24-hour Today effect.
Neither view promises a fixed position for a fixed duration. Another verified payment can change the order, and the service terms state that payment buys the position supported at fulfillment—not guaranteed traffic or tenure.
Existing listings and normalized destinations
Submitting the same website or X handle raises the existing record. The selected new total must exceed the current total, but checkout charges only the difference. Platform paths such as individual GitHub repositories remain distinct, while tracking query strings are ignored.
Because tracking parameters are removed, marketers should not rely only on UTM tags. A dedicated landing-page path, referral analytics, campaign dates, and server-side conversion events create a stronger attribution plan.
