Keep it fair
Rules
YTRank is a public YouTube channel leaderboard. There are no paid editorial picks or hidden ranking factors. You bid for visibility, and rank follows completed bids.
How ranking works
- Bids are whole US-dollar amounts. The minimum bid is $1 and the maximum accepted bid is $999,999.
- To raise an existing listing, enter the same YouTube URL or @handle again. The new total must be at least $1 above its current bid, and Checkout charges only the difference.
- Channels are ranked by their highest completed bid. A higher amount takes the higher position; equal bids keep their payment order, with the earlier completed bid above the later one.
- Paying less than the current #1 amount can still place a channel anywhere that bid is high enough to reach.
- A rank is claimed only after Stripe confirms a completed payment. Abandoned or failed Checkout sessions do not affect the board.
What you can list
- A public YouTube channel submitted as its @handle or canonical youtube.com channel URL.
- Every submission must select the category that best represents the channel's primary content.
- The submitted channel must be accessible to the public and must not impersonate another creator, person, company, or organization.
- Individual video, playlist, redirect, shortened, affiliate, and tracking links are not accepted as leaderboard entries.
- Channels centered on illegal activity, malware, scams, explicit sexual content, targeted harassment, or hateful content are not eligible.
After you pay
- Your channel entry and bid amount become public. Clicking the entry sends visitors directly to the YouTube channel you submitted.
- Placement can change at any time when another completed bid ranks above yours. A payment buys the resulting position, not a guaranteed duration or number of views.
- Payments are generally final once a listing is published, except for duplicate charges, technical failures, or refunds required by applicable law.
- YTRank may pause, remove, or correct a listing that violates these rules. Where appropriate, we will contact the payer about the action taken.
Fair use and moderation
- Do not use automated checkout attempts, payment abuse, scraping that degrades the service, or any method intended to manipulate traffic counters.
- Channel names, marks, and statistics belong to their respective owners. YTRank is an independent project and is not sponsored by or affiliated with YouTube or Google.
- We may update these rules as the service grows. Material changes apply prospectively and will be reflected on this page before they take effect.
