About
TopRung is a leaderboard whose only honest claim is that the ranking is bought, out in the open. Nothing is editorial, nothing is algorithmic, nothing is for sale except position.
Listing costs nothing, so the board has something on it before anybody pays. Free listings sit in Just added with their logo showing, and can become ranked later without losing their page or their clicks.
A bought rank fades 2% a day. That makes position something you hold rather than own, and it keeps the top of the board from calcifying around whoever showed up first with the biggest cheque.
Every listing gets a generated image of its rank, sized for a link preview, so posting your position is one screenshot rather than a favour you ask for.
One line of HTML puts your live rank on your own site. Your visitors see the number, the number links here, and the loop costs neither of us anything.
How the money works
Every dollar bid is revenue, minus card processing of about 4% plus $0.40 per transaction. No ads, no revenue share, no paid API, no placement deals. Dodo Payments is the merchant of record, which is also why there is one currency and no tax paperwork sitting between you and a bid.
What this is not
Not a marketplace, not a directory with reviews, not a social network. There is no feed to game and no reputation to farm. If the ranking ever stops being purely bought, the product is broken.
Anything at all: a bad link, a stuck payment, a takedown, reaches a human directly. There is no support portal because there are no accounts. Built solo by Rahul Pandey.
