How this works
RankTube looks like a video site's homepage. It isn't one. Every tile in the feed is a paid advertising slot for a company. There are no videos, no creators, no algorithm — just brands paying to be seen.
The mechanic: every spot has a current price, which is whatever its holder paid for it (or the tier's starting price, whichever is higher). Want a spot someone else holds? Pay one dollar more and it's yours — your thumbnail, your title, your link, in exactly that spot on the grid. Every price is a whole dollar; there are no decimals anywhere on this site.
Where you land: the spot you click is the spot you get. Buying never floats you to the top and never re-sorts the board by price. That's why the position you pick is priced differently: an unsold spot in the big top row starts at $10, the two rows under it start at $5, and everything further down starts at $2. Pay more, sit higher — permanently, until someone outbids you for that exact tile.
Getting outbid doesn't delete you. When someone takes your spot, you slide down one position rather than disappearing — the tile below you moves down too, and so on. You keep your placement, just lower on the page. The only way off the board entirely is being pushed past the last position when every spot is full.
The money, plainly: you pay the full amount of your bid, once. There are no refunds — your money bought the position you held for as long as you held it. Nobody gets money back when they slide down, and nobody gets money back when they drop off the bottom. That uncertainty is the game, and we say it up front in the checkout too.
What you get: a tile on the homepage (clicks go straight to your site through our counter, so you can see the number climb), plus a permanent page at /brand/your-name that stays up even after you're outbid.
What we don't do: no ads other than the tiles themselves (the tiles being ads is the entire website), no selling your email, no hidden fees. Outbound links are marked sponsored because that's what they are.
Ground rules: no adult content, no scams, no malware, no impersonating brands you don't own. We remove slots that break these rules without refund.
