Questions
What this board is, what a listing costs, and what you get.
- What is Top1Board?
- A public directory where every position was purchased. Each listing is a paid advertising placement, and its position reflects the total that listing has paid. It is not an editorial ranking, a review, a certification or an endorsement, and nothing here is a measure of quality.
- How is the order decided?
- By the total amount a listing has paid, highest first. Nothing else affects it — not traffic, not clicks, not how long you have been listed. If two listings have paid the same total, the one that reached that total first holds the higher position.
- What does a listing cost?
- The minimum is $10. There is no fixed price above that: you choose the amount, and the amount decides the position it can hold. Taking the first position costs at least $5 more than the current first position. Full detail is on the pricing page.
- What do I actually get for the money?
- Five things: a permanent profile page at your own address, a downloadable share card, an outbound link to your site or profile, click analytics on that link, and a place on the global, country and category boards.
- Can someone take my position?
- Yes. Anyone who pays a higher total than yours will be placed above you. You are never removed and you never lose the amount you paid — you can be overtaken, and you can pay more to move back up.
- Do I have to pay again to keep my position?
- No. A listing is a one-time payment with no recurring charge, and your total does not expire or decay. Paying again adds to your total and moves you up; if you are raising your own listing you are charged only the difference, with a minimum of $1.
- Are refunds available?
- No. All payments are final. A listing is a digital service that begins the moment payment is confirmed, and you confirm at checkout that you want it live immediately, which waives any statutory cancellation period that would otherwise apply.
- Does paying get me traffic or customers?
- It gets you the placement and the link, and it does not promise any result. A payment does not buy traffic, clicks, customers, revenue, exclusive placement, or a fixed period at any position. What people do after seeing your listing is not something we can or do guarantee.
- How do payments work, and who handles my card?
- Checkout is handled by Dodo Payments as merchant of record. Your card details go to them and never to us — we do not see or store a card number. Prices are in US dollars and taxes may be added at checkout.
- Which countries and categories are there?
- There is one worldwide board, a board for each of 249 countries and territories, and 14 category boards. A listing appears on the worldwide board and on the country and category board you choose, and each board is ranked independently by amount paid.
- Who runs Top1Board?
- Piyush Yadav, a sole proprietor based in Hyderabad, India. The full operator details, including a postal address and a named grievance officer, are on the about page and the contact page.
- Can a listing be removed?
- Yes. Listings that break the terms — illegal content, adult content, malware, link shorteners, chat and invite links, or impersonation — are removed without a refund. A removed listing cannot be claimed again.
