Rules

Timebid is a public traffic leaderboard. Genuine supporter time builds every position. Keep a listing active to move it up. Only time counted by our server is created.

How ranking works

• Your timer earns whole seconds while this page is in front, connected, and you remain active.
• The one-minute, five-minute, and one-hour races reset at the same time for everyone. The hourly race resets at the start of each hour (UTC).
• The 24-hour and 30-day boards show time earned during those periods and update every five minutes. The Hall of Fame includes every second counted since launch.
• Listings earning time always rank above listings with zero time. In reset races, equal racing scores keep the previous race order.
• A new zero-time listing gets a 72-hour discovery boost. Older zero-time listings rotate once per UTC day so they can still be discovered.
• Each second counts on all six boards at the same time.
• Every listing appears on every board. Each page shows 50 listings. There is no page limit.
• When activity is low, the homepage opens the one-hour board. When activity is high, it opens the five-minute board. It switches only after the current race ends.
• A listing keeps its total supporter-time, clicks, hourly wins, and best rank unless its verified owner sells the accumulated spot.
• This browser remembers the listing it supports. When you return, focus the page and move, click, or type to restart its timer.
• Changing leaderboard tabs only changes the board you see. It does not change how time is counted.

Spot sales

• A verified website or X owner may set a fixed whole-USDT price from the listing detail page.
• LinkedIn listings and direct App Store or Google Play app listings cannot buy or sell spots.
• A completed purchase adds the seller's accumulated time, visits, hourly wins, and best finish to the buyer's current eligible listing. The seller then restarts from zero.
• Buying a spot does not buy the domain, profile, content, supporters, or active sessions.
• A spot is never permanent. Other listings can outpace it through genuine supporter time.
• One atomic Ethereum mainnet USDT payment sends 50% directly to the seller's verified payout wallet and 50% to Timebid. The transfer is applied only after finality.

Listings and supporters

• You can list a public product website, an X handle, a LinkedIn profile or company page, or an app on Google Play or the App Store.
• We ignore website paths, www, and tracking details, so each domain appears only once. Profiles and store apps keep their unique destination.
• LinkedIn posts, feeds, jobs, searches, and other temporary pages are not listings.
• Store searches, categories, collections, and developer pages are not listings. Google Play apps match by package name; App Store apps match by Apple ID, regardless of locale or tracking details.
• Website names and descriptions come from the website and refresh from time to time. Supporters cannot write or edit them.
• Profiles and store apps use public names, descriptions, and images when available. A simple card is used when a platform blocks access.
• No proof of ownership is needed. If a destination is already listed, you support the existing listing and keep its time, clicks, and wins.
• Many people can support the same listing. Their genuine active seconds add together.
• One browser supports one listing at a time. Extra tabs do not multiply time, and only one active supporter per listing is accepted from the same daily-rotating network signature.
• Each browser supports one listing at a time. Switching pauses the old listing. Its time, clicks, wins, and history do not move to the new one.
• Submitting and switching are usually instant. We may temporarily ask for a quick check if bots become a problem.

How clicks work

• Clicking a listing opens that product or profile in a new tab.
• We count the click before sending the visitor to the listing.
• Repeated clicks from the same visitor within ten minutes count once.

Visit breaks

• If your clock is running, visiting someone else's listing protects it for up to 30 seconds while you browse.
• The server starts the break at timebid's redirect. Copying a URL, opening your own listing, or calling the destination directly does not start one.
• You can start one visit break every five minutes. Breaks do not stack or extend each other.
• Return early and normal active timing resumes. Stay away longer and the clock stops after 30 seconds.
• Protected seconds are ordinary active seconds: each one counts on all six leaderboards and is split correctly when a race resets.

Rallies and battles

• Every listing has a public Rally link. Anyone can share it or join it without an account.
• Joining a Rally switches this browser to that listing. The same focus, activity, connection, and visit-break rules still apply.
• A battle lasts exactly 24 hours and starts at the next UTC minute so both sides begin at zero together.
• Battle scores count supporter-time earned during that battle only. The normal leaderboards continue at the same time.
• The same pair cannot start a second battle while their current battle is upcoming or live.
• Battle creation is rate-limited. Hidden or removed listings cannot enter or remain visible in battles.
• Rallies and battles never redirect another listing's traffic, transfer ownership, or sell rank.

Sponsorship

• A sponsor may appear in one clearly labelled space above the leaderboard.
• A sponsor is not a listing. It has no rank, timer, or advantage on any board.
• A sponsor view counts after the space is visible for one second. Repeat views from the same visitor count once per UTC day.
• Repeated sponsor clicks from the same visitor within ten minutes count once.

How active time works

• Keep this tab in front. Moving to another tab stops new time unless you just started a valid visit break.
• Move, scroll, tap, or type occasionally. One minute without activity pauses your clock; interacting with the focused page resumes it.
• Your browser checks in every 10 seconds. If the connection is lost for more than 25 seconds, the timer stops. Missed time is not added later.

Fair play

• Automated activity, scripted browsing, or attempts to simulate a person are not allowed.
• Editing browser data, JavaScript, the timer on screen, or your device clock does not change the server total.
• We limit repeated new listings from the same network to reduce spam. Existing listings can still be supported.
• Timers that look automated may be reviewed or removed to keep the board fair.
