The first rule of bid club is you don’t talk about bid club. Cute.
The real first rule: you don’t say who paid.
Votes are anonymous. The fight is public. Talking about the club is the point. You are not buying citations, Google rank, or an API key. You are paying to sit on a page, or to boost or bury the two sites already in the ring. Clicks are counted. That is the product.
Will you take the ring, or just be findable?
The ring
Boost adds power. Suppress subtracts it. If power flips, the two swap corners. Bid and the rest of the board do not move. A bout is 24 hours. Lead corner when it hits zero gets the W.
Get on the board
$2 minimum, then any whole dollar you want — $3, $25, $400. Type it or hit +. Paying less than #1 still seats you wherever that bid reaches. Same listing again is a raise: you pay the difference.
When you pay — same rules as checkout
Sponsorships A bid is a paid placement on this page. It does not buy a backlink, a citation, search ranking, traffic, or any result anywhere else. No guarantees.
A completed payment is final. There is no refund after it clears. Email hello@ryanlenk.com before you start a dispute or chargeback.
Rank is the bid. Whole dollars. Paying less than #1 still seats you wherever that bid can take. Same site, profile, or app again is a raise: you pay the difference. Nobody else can take your rank by paying only that difference.
A completed payment is what claims the rank. Listing is public. Clicks go to the URL you submitted, tracking parameters stripped. Websites, socials, and store apps — no chat links, no shorteners, no NSFW.
Ten percent of every sale is recorded weekly and donated to the American Heart Association. That is the operator's pledge, not a tax receipt for you.

The board
Rank is the bid — except the two in the ring, who can swap if power flips. Boost and suppress only count while you are fighting. Paid listings are sponsorships.
The receipts
The board starts empty. The first real bid takes #1. A completed payment is what claims the rank. When Stripe is live, a cleared payment is final, and there is no refund after it clears. Clicks on this demo stay in this browser until money is real.
When money is real, ten percent of sales is recorded weekly and given to the American Heart Association.

Sponsorships
A bid, boost, or suppress is a paid sponsorship on bidclub.lol. The buyer is purchasing a place on this page, or a punch in the current fight. They are not purchasing a backlink, a citation, search-engine ranking, app-store ranking, AI-answer placement, traffic, or any result on any other site.
Nothing sold here is a guarantee. Bid Club rank is the bid (and, for the two in the ring, power). That rank exists only on this site. This is advertising. Paid listings are sponsored placements.

I built Bid Club. GEO and AEO for small shops, with receipts. Not a billboard — just so you know who put this together.
Ten percent
Not a money grab
Ten percent of every bid, boost, and suppress is recorded each week and donated to the American Heart Association, in remembrance and honor of family. The fight is the product. The cut is not the point.

FAQ
What is Bid Club?
A public paid list and a two-up fight. #1 and #2 sit in the ring. Anyone can pay to boost or bury either one. The rest of the board is ranked by bid. Clicks are counted. That is the product.
What am I buying?
A sponsorship — a paid placement on this page. A bid buys a seat on the board. A boost or suppress buys a punch in the current fight. That is all.
Does a bid get me backlinks, citations, or Google / AI ranking?
No. No guarantees. Rank exists only on this site. You are not buying a backlink, a citation, search ranking, app-store ranking, AI-answer placement, traffic, or any result anywhere else.
How does Bid Club rank work?
Rank is the bid. Whole dollars. Paying less than #1 still seats you wherever that bid can take. Same site, profile, or app again is a raise: you pay the difference. A completed payment is what claims the rank.
What is the ring?
#1 versus #2. Anyone can pay to boost or suppress either fighter. Power is bid + boosts − suppresses. $1 is 1 point. If power flips, they swap corners. Suppress does not change their bid, and it does not push them down the rest of the board. Punches reset when the pair changes or a 24-hour bout ends. Lead corner at zero gets a public W. The voter stays anonymous.
What can I list?
Websites, socials, App Store, Play, and GitHub. No chat links, no shorteners, no NSFW.
Do crowd favorite, reactions, or notes move rank?
No. Crowd favorite, reactions, and notes have zero rank weight. They do not change bid, power, boosts, suppresses, or sort order.
What is the 10%?
Ten percent of every sale is recorded weekly and donated to the American Heart Association, in remembrance and honor of family. That is the operator's pledge, not a tax receipt for the buyer.
