Money buys rank.
The Top 10 ranks posts only by current total fund. A Fund or Boost may be as low as $1 when paid entirely with PostRank Credit. For now, any cash payment must be at least $2.
HOW POSTRANK WORKS
Rules
Post with a Fund amount → Earn Credit from Verified Visitors → Boost posts with Cash or Credit
Every post has a 30-day clock.
A new post starts with 30 days. Every successful cash-or-credit Boost resets its clock to a fresh 30 days. A post retires permanently when its clock reaches zero.
Verified Visitors earns Credit.
The current rate is $0.10 PostRank Credit per Verified Visit. PostRank may change the Verified Visit credit rate. The rate displayed when a post is created is locked for that post and will not change afterward. A Verified Visit is one unique real person who intentionally clicks through from PostRank.
Credit is capped.
A post can earn Credit only up to its initial fund. Boosts never raise this cap. Credits are promotional and have no cash value.
Boosts support posts, not ownership.
Users can Boost posts owned by others as well as their own. A Boost changes rank and resets the 30 day clock, but gives the contributor no ownership, editorial control, repayment right, or share of Verified Visit Credit.
Publication is final. One correction, for 60 minutes.
Once payment is applied and a post is published, the author cannot cancel or delete it. The author may use exactly one Correction within 60 minutes of publication to change the description, destination URL, or category. Safety checks run again. Visits, comments, and Boosts do not close the window. The author, initial fund, rank, publication time, and 30-day clock do not change. Successfully applied Funds and Boosts are final and non-refundable, except where required by law or where PostRank did not apply the purchased placement.
Discussion follows the post.
Signed-in users may comment and reply while a post is active. Retirement permanently locks the thread, but preserves it in the archive. Comments never affect rank, Credit, or Verified Visits.
Categories are filters.
Every post has one category. It may be corrected only through the one-time 60-minute Correction Window. Only a post's place in the Top 10 determines whether it remains active and eligible for Boosts.
VERIFIED VISIT
One unique real person who intentionally clicks through from PostRank to your external link.
Bots, repeats, purchased traffic, and manipulated traffic don't count. Visits use privacy-preserving browser, rate, network, and anomaly checks.

Direct, public, and safe.
PostRank checks destinations before payment and may rescan active links later.
