Paid Placement Policy

The disclosure

Payments purchase visibility or leaderboard placement on this platform only. They do not purchase or guarantee rankings, reviews, installs, downloads or visibility on third-party stores or search engines.

What is paid on this platform

• Leaderboard positions. The entire leaderboard is paid, by design, and every price is printed next to the product.
• Sponsored placements. Slots outside the leaderboard that are bought directly from us.
• Featured and homepage placements. Time-limited promotional slots.

What is not paid

• Search results. Ordered by relevance to your query and by the filters you choose.
• Verification badges. A badge reflects a check we actually performed. It is not for sale and it is not a guarantee of quality or authenticity.

Labelling

Every paid placement outside the leaderboard carries a visible Sponsored label. The leaderboard itself is labelled as a paid board wherever it appears, because the whole list is paid.

What we never do

• Create fake reviews, downloads, installs, users, votes or engagement.
• Sell any form of third-party store or search ranking.
• Alter ranking history to hide a change.

Manual changes

An administrator can correct a position only with a recorded reason, the previous and new values, and an append-only audit entry. Financial and ranking history is never silently altered.
