Upbid is a public leaderboard where promotional positions are owned by whoever holds the highest bid. It is not a directory listing and not a traditional ad auction — the market itself is the product.
01
Submit a URL, display name, description, and category. Pay the opening floor of $10. After payment clears, your spot appears on the live board.
02
Visitors browse the leaderboard and click through to your site. Clicks are tracked. Your current bid, owner, and rank are public.
03
To take someone's spot, bid at least $5 above the current bid. Payment is verified server-side. Ownership transfers only after a successful charge and an atomic database update — concurrent bids have a single winner.
04
Ranking is by current bid (USD). If someone outbids you, they own the position. You can bid again to reclaim it.
