Question 1

What is RankBurns?

Accepted Answer

RankBurns (rankburns.lol) is a public pay-to-rank leaderboard where #1 is rented, never owned. Rank is remaining fuel that burns 8% per day, multiplied by the unique audience a listing brings (capped at 3×). It is paid placement, not an editorial ranking of quality.

Question 2

How is RankBurns different from Outbid.lol?

Accepted Answer

Outbid.lol ranks by lifetime dollars paid, so a whale can freeze #1. RankBurns ranks by remaining fuel that decays 8% every day, plus an audience multiplier, and splits Today (last 24 hours) from the all-time hall. Visitor counts are unique identities over 7 days, not since launch.

Question 3

How does fuel and ranking work?

Accepted Answer

Every settled payment adds fuel. Fuel burns 8% per day continuously. Hall score = remaining fuel × (1 + unique referred visitors / 100), capped at 3×. Today's board ranks fuel added in the last 24 hours. Minimum bid is $5. Taking #1 on fuel alone costs the current #1 remaining fuel plus $5. If you already have fuel, you pay only the delta (target remaining minus current remaining), not the full bid again.

Question 4

Are bids refundable?

Accepted Answer

No, except duplicate charges, our technical failure to credit fuel, or listings we hide for abuse. Checkout is immediate performance of paid placement.

Question 5

Is RankBurns advertising?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rank is remaining fuel, not votes, reviews, or quality. Outbound clicks are marked as sponsored. Operator listings are labeled.

Question 6

What is a monthly ad slot?

Accepted Answer

Advertise is separate from Get listed. For a flat monthly fee you get a labeled Ad card that rotates between ranked rows on the homepage and category pages for 30 days. It does not buy leaderboard rank. Inventory is capped.
