The Idlebid Board: how pay-to-rank leaderboards work
· 5 min read
The Board is a public ranking of businesses and tools, split by region (Global, Europe, GCC and Asia) and by category. Anyone can read it. Businesses pay to move up, and the rules are the same for everyone.
Points and ranking
USD 1 buys 1 point, and the business with the most points in a category and region is number one. The Board can be viewed by time period, including all time, so a strong early position keeps showing.
Boost: part of your payment comes back as views
By default 20% of every payment is converted into Network Ads views for you. You pay once and get both a ranking and ad exposure in AI tools. Your Business Panel shows both in one place.
Verified listings
To show a Verified badge, add a small DNS TXT record to your domain. It proves the listing belongs to the real owner of the website.
Taking the number one spot
To overtake the business above you, you need more points than they have. Rank follows points, so the amount you need is simply what the business above you holds.
