Paid placement notice
Ranks on the BestSites board are advertisements.
01
Seat position is set by sponsorship amount. It is not editorial recommendation, a popularity vote, a quality score, or search optimization. Rank 1 is only the highest visibility-seat price, not quality or popularity.
02
Seats in the paid placement column, and seats marked Ad · Paid placement or Spotlight, are exposures an advertiser paid for, or agreed to pay for.
03
Paid seats are advertisements bought under these rules. Free community launches are ranked separately by votes. Advertisers remain responsible for their creative and landing pages.
04
Share and preview titles are marked Ad · Paid placement too. Rank is sponsorship, not skill.
