Woodander TOP · How it works
A website leaderboard where the highest bid ranks first
Pay to place your website on Woodander TOP. Your payment counts on the All-time, This month and Last 24 hours boards, plus your category. No account needed.
Three steps
- 1 Enter your website and bid Paste your URL and choose an amount. We suggest a category and fill the title, description and icon from your site.
- 2 Confirm and pay Check the preview and add an email for your receipt. You pay once, in euros (VAT included), on a hosted checkout page.
- 3 Go live After the payment is confirmed, your site appears on every board the payment counts on. Ranks update as others bid.
One payment, several boards
The boards differ only in which payments they count. You don’t choose a board when you pay: one confirmed payment counts on All-time, This month, Last 24 hours and your category’s boards at once. Periods follow UTC.
All-time
Every confirmed payment for the site, added up. Never resets.
This month
Confirmed payments in the current UTC calendar month. Starts again at €0 on the 1st at 00:00 UTC.
Last 24 hours
Confirmed payments of the past 24 hours. Each payment drops off exactly 24 hours after it was confirmed; finished UTC days are kept in the archive.
Category
The same three boards, but only for sites in one category. Each listing has one category, and the same payment counts there too.

How totals add up
Each new payment for the same site adds to its totals. The monthly total starts from zero at the beginning of each UTC month and All-time never resets; a payment counts on the Last 24 hours board for exactly 24 hours. For example: bid €5 now and €5 tomorrow, and All-time shows €10 (Last 24 hours shows only the bids of the past day).
| Payment | Date (UTC) | All-time | This month | Last 24 hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First payment · €20 | 5 Sep | €20 | — | — |
| Second payment · €15 | 3 Oct | €35 | €15 | — |
| Third payment · €10 | 10 Oct | €45 | €25 | €10 |
The 10 Oct payment leaves the Last 24 hours total exactly 24 hours after it was confirmed, on 11 Oct; on 1 Nov the This month total starts again at €0. All-time stays at €45. The daily archive is calendar-based: each payment belongs to the UTC day it was paid.
If someone outbids you
Your site moves down on that board; nothing is removed. You can add to your total whenever you want. There’s no automatic rebidding and no recurring charge.
Review and updates
Listings go live after the payment is confirmed and an automatic check passes; some are reviewed by a person first. Only an authorised listing manager can change the title, description and icon. Anyone can add to a site’s total.
What TOP is not
Paying doesn’t create a Discover listing, make you the owner of a site or give you edit rights, and it doesn’t guarantee any rank for any length of time. It doesn’t change Discover, editorial collections or Woodander Media.
Questions
Do I need an account?
No. An email for the receipt is enough. You can open a Woodander Workspace later if you want stats.
Is my rank guaranteed?
No. Anyone can bid more at any time. The month starts again each period, and every payment leaves the last-24-hours board exactly 24 hours after it was confirmed.
Can I choose more than one category?
No. Each listing has one category, suggested from your site. You can change it before paying.
Does this put my site in Discover?
No. Discover is a separate, free and reviewed directory. Paying for TOP never creates or changes a Discover listing.
What if my listing is rejected after payment?
Payments for TOP are final and aren’t refunded. A listing that breaks the TOP rules isn’t published, so check your website against the rules before you bid.
Can someone else boost my site?
Yes, anyone can add to a site’s total. Only an authorised listing manager can edit its title, description and icon.
