dofollow.lol

dofollow.lol is a public pay-to-rank leaderboard, available at https://dofollow.lol/. Instead of an editorial review process or a subscription, a spot on the board is claimed by paying to outbid whoever currently holds it. Payment happens once through Stripe Checkout, and the listing goes live immediately — no accounts, no approval queue. Every active listing carries a real rel="dofollow" backlink back to the submitted site. That backlink is the actual product: rank is a side effect of the same bidding mechanic that keeps the board honest and current. How it works Submit a URL (or an @handle for a social profile) and pick a category New spot: starts at $5 Taking an occupied spot: must beat its current bid by at least $5 Already listed: paying again with the same URL raises your own bid — you only pay the difference from your current bid at checkout A listing stays active for as long as no one outbids it; there is no recurring charge or time-based expiry Key features Real dofollow backlinks, not nofollow/sponsored — visible on the leaderboard and on a dedicated product page per listing Competitive bidding instead of a fixed listing fee, so rank reflects actual demand for the spot 27+ categories spanning SEO tools, AI agents, dev tools, marketing, ecommerce, and more, each with its own ranked board A paid sponsor slot, separate from the ranked board, for guaranteed top placement Public, real-time stats (active listings, total bid volume, clicks) — nothing about the board's traffic or activity is hidden Optional YouTube video listings — a product can claim a rank with a video pitch instead of (or alongside) a website Use cases Founders and indie hackers looking for a real, crawlable backlink alongside visibility to an audience already browsing for tools SEO-conscious teams evaluating link-building options that are transparent about mechanics (pay to outbid, not "contact us for pricing") Anyone comparing directory/leaderboard products who wants to see exactly what a dollar buys, since bid amounts and rank are public
