Rolling ranking rules
Join free, bid from $1 and compare transparent scores across 24 Hours, 31 Days and All-Time.
- 01
Free is always available
An approved listing can remain published even when its selected-window score is $0.
- 02
$1 records a bid
Every confirmed whole-dollar bid is recorded permanently. There is no per-listing expiry or countdown.
- 03
Last 24 hours
24 Hours is a continuously rolling window. It includes bids recorded during the preceding 24 hours, with no midnight reset.
- 04
Last 31 days
31 Days is also continuously rolling. It includes bids recorded during the preceding 31 days and is the default ranking view.
- 05
All-Time is permanent
All-Time retains the complete bid history. Refunded amounts do not count toward rank. Disputed payments are suspended until resolved; winning a dispute restores only the unrefunded contribution at its original date.
- 06
Targets roll upward only
A bid may target one Category and one Place. Topic and City bids count in their selected target, its ancestors and Global; parent bids never count in descendants.
- 07
One payment, one Global contribution
A bid targeting both Category and Place counts fully in both selected rankings and only once in Global.
- 08
Higher eligible score ranks higher
Each view sums exact-target bids and descendant bids inside the selected window. The outbid quote rounds up to the next whole dollar.
- 09
Order is deterministic
Higher score in the selected window ranks first. Paid ties favour the earlier contributing bid, then a stable listing ID. Free listings follow creation order, with new entries last. Administrator position overrides take priority in their scope across all periods; moving a listing shifts the others and does not add a payment or score.

Paid rank is not endorsement
Rankagora measures paid support in the selected window, not quality or editorial recommendation.
Payments are processed through Stripe Checkout in USD. Successful refunds reduce ranking contributions; open or lost disputes suspend the affected payment contribution. The original payment remains in the audit history.
