About

HypeRank is a leaderboard with one input. Not engagement, not recency, not a score somebody tuned — the amount paid, and nothing else. It is the most honest ranking we could think of, because the rule is fully visible and anybody can act on it in the next minute.

The board is worth something to the people on it because it is worth looking at. Visitors scroll it, click through to products and profiles, and some of them stay. That is the whole exchange: you buy a position in front of an audience that came here to browse positions.

There are no accounts. A settled payment is what claims a rank, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log into. If you want to climb, enter the same link again and top up the difference.

Every listing is ranked twice off one amount — against the whole board and inside its own category — and the category is read off the link rather than chosen, so nobody can file a website under a quiet category to buy a cheap #1.

The full rules are on the rules page. The short version: pay more than the listing above you, and you take its place.
