About Bid Spotlight

A placement is a public spot on the homepage leaderboard. Your rank in the current window is your total confirmed bid, highest first, and the bid total sits on your card for every visitor to see. What you pay is what you rank on, and the rules that decide the order are on one page, in plain words.

There is no editorial ranking and no hidden ordering. Every paid placement is advertising, labeled Sponsored on the board, in the promo videos, and in every social post it appears in.

Most new sites die quietly. The product ships, the launch posts scroll past, and the big ad platforms price a small project out before it has a chance. Indie makers and small stores need a way to be seen this week, not someday.

So we built one page with the rules on the table: a public board where a small budget buys a visible spot, the race restarts every month, and the money buys something you keep no matter how the race ends - a finished promo video built from your own site.

Every placement is the same package - nothing hidden in tiers, no placements that buy more influence than others:

One window per calendar month. The first confirmed bid of the month opens the window and takes #1 starting at $5.

1. Your rank is your total confirmed bid in the window, highest first.
2. To take the top spot, a first bid must beat the current top total by at least $1.
3. Raise any time while your listing is live; a raise adds to your total - and pays just the remaining money to take the top (minimum $1).
4. Equal totals rank by the most recent payment - so a raise that pays the difference takes the spot.
5. If another bid takes the top while your payment is processing, your payment is refunded in full automatically. You are never charged for a bid that does not rank.
6. When the window closes, the standings freeze and the next race opens with the first bid of the new month.

Every listing is screened against the halal and safety policy before it can rank, and the board is re-scanned nightly. The board does not accept:

• Gambling and betting
• Adult content
• Riba (interest) products
• Alcohol, tobacco, and drugs
• Scams, MLM, and get-rich-quick schemes
• Malware and phishing
• Hate speech
• Anything deceptive or illegal

Borderline categories go to a manual review, one case at a time. If we remove a paid listing under the policy, that window's placement is refunded - unless the removal was for fraud, malware, phishing, a payment dispute, or a deliberate breach of the terms.

If you believe a removal was a mistake, write to [email protected] and a person reviews the appeal.

Bid Spotlight is built by a small independent team, the people behind Genvoris.org - the site in the "Featured by us" row on this month's board. That spot is our own site, not a paid customer placement. The videos are generated from what a site actually says - we never invent statistics, reviews, or claims - and a human reads every message at [email protected].
