the story
About Podium
One board. Everybody on it.
Podium is a single public leaderboard of live websites, ordered by one rule: pay $1 and move up one rank. Listing is free. There are no categories, no daily reset, no algorithm, and nobody deciding who deserves to be seen. A listing's position comes down to two things only: when it joined, and how many ranks have been paid for.
How it is not just another bid site
- Listing is free. Every live website can be on the board. No fee, no account.
- Every rank costs the same. One dollar, whether you are moving from #500 to #499 or from #2 to #1.
- Nothing resets. One board, forever. Ranks move when people pay, but the board never starts over.
What your dollar buys — and does not
It buys one rank up, applied the moment your payment confirms, on a board anyone can see. Paid listings get a gold edge and show exactly how much they have paid.
It does not buy clicks, customers, or a permanent spot: when someone climbs past you, you drop one. That is the game. Payments are final, with a few honest exceptions written into the terms.
Real numbers
Click counts on each listing are real clicks, not unique people. Paid totals are exactly what was charged. The board's aggregates live on the stats page and come straight from the database — nobody edits them.
Who runs it
Podium is an independent, one-person project. When you send a message about a payment, a listing, or a bug, a person reads it. Reach us through the contact link in the footer.
