LolBoard is a public leaderboard where sites compete for the top spot. Submitting is free — the only thing that costs money is #1.
Submit your site, sign in with Google, and you are on the board. We check the site is live and publicly reachable, pull in its title and description, and list it. The domain does not decide anything — .com, .ai, .dev and .lol all count the same. Each site can be submitted once, and www.example.com and example.com are the same site.
A new listing joins at the last position and stays there for nothing. Free listings sit in the order they were submitted, and nothing you can pay for reorders them.
Not every site qualifies. This is a leaderboard, not a directory — a submission needs a real reason to be competing in public. See the listing rules for what can and cannot go on the board.
There is one position on the board you can buy, and it is the top one. To take it you bid a dollar more than whoever holds it — a $50 top spot costs $51.00 to take — and it is yours until someone does the same to you. On an empty board, $1.00 takes it.
The board is ranked by standing bid — the amount a site currently has on the table, not what it has spent over its lifetime. The number on the top row is exactly the number a rival has to beat, which is the whole point of ranking on it. A site that has held #1 and lost it keeps its standing bid, so it still sits above the free listings.
Bids only ever move a site up, and two paid sites can never tie: taking the top always costs a dollar more than the last bid.
A bid is a single payment through Polar — no subscription and no renewals. When you start a checkout, #1 is held for you for 5 minutes so nobody can buy it out from under you while you type your card in. The hold shows on the board as a real row.
The bid is placed only when the payment is confirmed. If you abandon the checkout, the hold expires and the top spot goes back on the market. Nothing is charged, and nothing is listed as bid.
Outbound links on the board go through LolBoard, so we can count them. The click count on each row is the traffic that listing has sent to the site — visible to everyone, including the people bidding against you. Clicks do not affect ranking; only the standing bid does.
