Question 1

How does ranking work on Internet Billboard?

Accepted Answer

Rankings are determined transparently by cumulative promotional placement spend. Startups enter from $1.00 USD. The project with the highest verified placement spend claims the #1 spotlight. When you upgrade your spend to exceed the next rank threshold, your position updates immediately across the live directory.

Question 2

What is the minimum spend to advertise?

Accepted Answer

The minimum entry spend is just $1.00 USD. There are no setup fees, hidden charges, or mandatory subscription lock-ins. Every dollar goes directly toward your placement ranking.

Question 3

How long does a billboard placement last?

Accepted Answer

Your billboard placement remains active indefinitely. Listings do not expire on a 24-hour timer or monthly billing cycle; your project remains visible on the directory until overtaken by other projects claiming higher ranks.

Question 4

Is placement safe and verified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All transactions are securely processed through Razorpay using industry-standard 256-bit encryption. The server verifies cryptographic payment signatures before updating any rankings or directory records.

Question 5

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Placement purchases are digital advertising services delivered immediately upon verified payment. Because rank shifts, real-time views, and public exposure happen instantly, placement fees are non-refundable once published, except in cases of duplicate billing errors verified by support.

Question 6

Who can advertise on the billboard?

Accepted Answer

Internet Billboard is designed for tech startups, indie hackers, SaaS products, creators, newsletter authors, open-source maintainers, e-commerce stores, and digital businesses seeking transparent, high-visibility discovery.

Question 7

What content is not allowed?

Accepted Answer

We strictly prohibit illegal content, malware, phishing sites, deceptive scams, get-rich-quick schemes, hate speech, adult or NSFW material, and copyright-infringing links. Prohibited submissions are suspended without refund.

Question 8

How do I get more traffic to my listing?

Accepted Answer

You can get more traffic by upgrading your spend to claim top positions (especially the #1 spotlight), crafting a compelling and benefit-driven description, using a high-contrast logo, embedding the 'Featured on Internet Billboard' badge on your site, and sharing your ranking achievement on social media.
