Rules

How rank works, what your money does, and when you get it back. No part of this is discretionary.

Paying

The melt

Two things drain a balance. Time decay is rent on a scarce position. Click burn is delivery. You are buying traffic, not a trophy.

If we deliver nothing, we take nothing

If a listing gets zero counted clicks in a 24-hour window, that window’s time decay is credited straight back. It appears in your ledger as its own entry, not as a silent adjustment.

This applies for up to 3 consecutive windows. After that normal melt resumes and we tell you — otherwise a listing nobody clicks could hold a top position indefinitely on a technicality.

What can be listed

Clicks

One visitor counts once per listing per 24 hours. Bots and filtered traffic are recorded but never charged for. The full method, including what we cannot currently detect, is on the methodology page.

Money back

The refund policy is the authoritative version. In short: melt is not refundable and is disclosed before you pay; if we deliver no clicks within an hour of a first top-up, you can refund it yourself; if we remove your listing, you get the remaining balance back.

Search engines

Every outbound link on this board is nofollow sponsored and passes no SEO value. If you are buying links, this is not that — and we would rather lose the sale than imply otherwise.
