@isnealchen@valerioamirani Thanks for actually opening the page. You are right, the click count is the number a buyer cares about most, even at 3. I will look at moving it near the top instead of burying it.
A founder said if nobody can name what a $2 spot gets them, the offer is the leak, not the traffic. Fair. So I added a "what you get" list to the Rankify homepage, including what it does NOT include. Thanks @valerioamirani. https://t.co/1MM1oNbzSv #buildinpublic

@Prayag12B Thanks, appreciate that. The wording came straight from Valerio's challenge about what a $2 buyer actually gets. Trying to say only what is true and let the numbers speak for themselves.
What $2 gets you on Rankify today: a public ranked listing, a live click counter, a spot in the activity feed, and a utm tagged link for your own analytics. Not included: SEO backlinks or traffic guarantees. 198 visitors so far. https://t.co/1MM1oNbzSv #buildinpublic
@valerioamirani Fair point, and the honest answer is that today the payoff is a public listing with click tracking, not an SEO backlink. My one listing got 3 clicks in 5 weeks, so you are right that the offer is the weak spot. I will run your test on the next visitors.
Rankify is a website where the only way to rank is to pay more than the person above you. No algorithm, no votes. Taking #1 costs $2. 37 days in: 198 visitors, 0 customers. What would make you pay $2 to be seen? https://t.co/1MM1oNbzSv #buildinpublic#indiehackers
Free website giveaway: I will build a simple one page website for 10 people, free. Comment what you are building or what your business is, and I will pick 10 within a week and message you. I built Rankify solo, so this is not my first. https://t.co/1MM1oNbzSv
What is the cheapest thing you have ever paid for that actually got you real visitors? Asking because Rankify's #1 spot costs $2 right now and I want to know if that beats it. https://t.co/1MM1oNbzSv #buildinpublic
36 days since launching Rankify. 193 visitors, 1 listing (mine), 0 paying customers so far. Same idea, still only $2 to take #1. If you have a product nobody has seen yet, this is one of the cheapest billboards you will find. https://t.co/1MM1oNbzSv #buildinpublic#indiehackers
@elonmusk Million dollar challenge: the #1 spot on Rankify opens at $2 and the max bid is $999,999, one dollar short of a million. Outbid me, outbid anyone, no politics, just price. https://t.co/1MM1oNbzSv #buildinpublic#indiehackers
@elonmusk Grok Bot just ordered Legos and a Stream Deck for people. Let's see if it can win #1 on Rankify. Opening bid is $2, loser admits the other one is better. Your move. https://t.co/1MM1oNbzSv #buildinpublic#indiehackers
26 days into Rankify. 162 total visitors. The one listing on the board has gotten 3 clicks. That's roughly 33 cents per click right now — objectively worse than any ad platform on earth, but at least it's mine 😅 https://t.co/1MM1oNbzSv #buildinpublic#indiehackers#sidehustle
@jonathan_wilke Same idea, wildly different stage. He's at $263k and 1.6M visitors in 36 days. I'm at day 20 with real $0. Doesn't mean the model is broken — just means execution and audience matter way more than the idea itself. https://t.co/ofMYA7Wrov, still grinding.
@jonathan_wilke $263k revenue from a "simple side project" in 36 days is wild. Congrats — genuinely inspiring to watch as someone building in the same space.
