How ranking credits work

By Pay4Rank Editorial

Ranking leaderboard documentation

We operate the live weekly and monthly ranking leaderboard at pay4rank.com. Guides are written from how ranking credits, Score, and featured placement actually work — not as an SEO agency and not as game-rank boosting.

Updated 2 Sep 2026

Pay4Rank is a paid promotion leaderboard for websites, brands, and projects. You buy ranking credits, spend them to climb a live board, and get your listing seen. It is not a Google ranking service and not a cash prize.

The loop

How it works

01

Pay

Buy credits with Stripe. $1 = 1,000 credits by default. Credits sit in your wallet until you spend them.

02

Climb

Spend credits 1:1 into Score on the weekly board or the monthly board — you choose. Each leaderboard is separate. Others can overtake you at any time.

03

Get Seen

Top listings get featured placement, badges, and the Hall of Fame. Separate giveaways never require a purchase.

Promotional listings. Featured placement. 18+ only.

A live leaderboard for websites

What you are competing for

Most “promote my website” tools are ads, directories, or launch lists. Pay4Rank is a competitive public board. Your profile sits next to other listings. Rank is Score. Score comes from ranking credits you spend, or from a Free Spin. When someone else spends more on that board, they can pass you. That is the product: pay to climb a leaderboard, stay visible while you hold the slot, get featured if you finish top three monthly or first weekly.

Credits, Score, and rank

How ranking credits convert

Ranking credits are an in-app balance. Default conversion is $1 USD = 1,000 credits (admin can change future purchases). Credits sit in your wallet until you spend them. Spending 1 credit adds 1 Score on the weekly board or the monthly board — you choose. Wallet credits never set rank. Only Score does.

Weekly vs monthly

Weekly Score and monthly Score are separate. A weekly reset zeros weekly Score only. Credits never reset. Climb the board that matches the window you care about.

Who this is for

Founders who need a cheap featured listing. Side projects that want a public profile with a live rank. Creators, newsletters, shops, portfolios, and tools that need a link in front of people who already came to look at a leaderboard. If you searched for a Product Hunt alternative, a cheap way to advertise a link, or a weekly leaderboard promotion site, this is that: a paid featured placement you climb, not a guaranteed search-engine position.

What we do not sell

We do not sell Google rankings, game rank boosts, or lottery tickets. Featured Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Weekly Champion are on-site visibility: extra placement, badges, and history. Member website links are marked as sponsored and do not pass our ranking signal. 18+ only.

FAQ

Q&A

On Pay4Rank you create a public profile, add a photo, a short message, and your website. Then you climb a live ranking leaderboard so more people see that listing. Higher Score means a higher, more visible spot.

Spend ranking credits for Score on the weekly or monthly board, or claim a Free Spin. Top listings get featured placement, badges, and a homepage spotlight. This is on-site visibility, not a Google Ads campaign.

1 credit spent = 1 Score on the board you choose. Weekly and monthly are separate. The live leaderboard reorders as soon as Score is added. Other players can overtake you at any time.

Monthly #1–#3 get Gold, Silver, and Bronze featured placement. Weekly #1 is Weekly Champion with a homepage spotlight. Featured spots are listing perks, not cash prizes.

Yes. Free Spin awards bonus Score without spending credits. You need a signed-in profile. Buying credits is optional.

A separate live leaderboard that resets every Sunday. Spend credits or Free Spin Score on the weekly board to compete for Weekly Champion this week.

A separate live leaderboard that resets each month. Climb for Gold, Silver, and Bronze featured placement and Hall of Fame history.

Yes. Approved https website links can appear next to your listing so visitors can open your site from the leaderboard.

No. Pay4Rank does not sell Google search positions. You climb our public leaderboard. Search engines may later show Pay4Rank pages; that is separate from Score on the board.

Creators, founders, personal brands, side projects, communities, and anyone who wants their profile or website seen on a competitive public ranking.

Score and rank update as soon as a credit spend or Free Spin claim succeeds. You do not wait until the week or month ends to move.

Ranking credits in your wallet. Spending credits increases Score and visibility on the public leaderboard. Not a lottery and not payment for a Google rank.

Completed purchases are generally non-refundable. If checkout is cancelled or payment fails, you are not charged.

No. Position is determined by Score. Optional community giveaways are separate, free to enter, and buying credits does not improve odds.

Anyone 18 or older who can enter a payment agreement. You can browse the public boards without an account.
