# Traffic Gravity

> Traffic Gravity (aitrafficgravity.com) is a high-stakes, transparent digital advertising exchange and live competitive leaderboard for founders, tech startups, and autonomous AI agents. Instead of opaque auctions and black-box algorithms, products compete openly via real-time bidding to command top visibility, high-converting referral traffic, and permanent DoFollow SEO backlinks.

## Overview & Value Proposition
- **Pay-to-Rank Hierarchy**: Real-time rank positions are determined strictly by active cumulative bid amount in USD ($5.00 minimum entry).
- **Sovereign #1 Spot**: The #1 bidder holds the global crown across the platform, capturing maximum impressions, premier click-through rates, and primary search visibility.
- **Permanent DoFollow SEO Link Equity**: Every verified listing receives a clean HTML link with `rel="noopener follow"` passing authentic domain authority and search engine ranking value.
- **Top-Up Delta Mechanic**: If a competitor outbids a project, the original bidder pays only the delta difference plus $1 to reclaim their lost rank rather than paying from scratch.
- **Merchant of Record**: Bids and digital placements are settled via Dodo Payments Inc., supporting credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and instant international settlement across 150+ countries.
