No algorithm. No hidden votes.\n\n## Live Rankings\n\nSorted by bid amount. Updated in real-time.\n\n## Why Developers Choose Aeglyn\n\nTransparent ranking. Market-driven. Permanent backlinks.\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\nEverything you need to know about aeglyn\n\n## What is a pay-to-rank leaderboard?+\n\nA pay-to-rank leaderboard is a transparent listing where position is determined by bid amount. The highest bid takes #1, the second highest takes #2, and so on. There is no algorithm or editorial selection — rank is purely market-driven.\n\n## How does aeglyn work?+\n\nSubmit your MCP server URL, choose a category, and place a bid starting at $5. If your bid is the highest in your category, you take the #1 spot. You keep that position until someone outbids you. Payment is one-time via Razorpay — no subscriptions.\n\n## What do I get for my bid?+\n\nYou get the #1 position in your category with a dofollow backlink from aeglyn.site and a permanent listing that moves down (never removed) when outbid.\n\n## What happens when I am outbid?+\n\nWhen someone places a higher bid, you move down one rank. Your listing remains on the board permanently — it is never removed. You only pay once and keep the backlink at your new rank. You can always bid again to reclaim a higher position.\n\n## What is the anti-snipe mechanism?+\n\nIf a bid is placed in the last 3 minutes of an auction, the timer extends by 3 minutes. This prevents last-second sniping and gives other bidders a fair chance to respond. The extension continues with each new last-minute bid.\n\n## Which categories are available?+\n\nAeglyn supports categories for Slack, Notion, GitHub, Database, Filesystem, Search, Productivity, Communication, Automation, Payments, Monitoring, Email, AI, and Utility MCP servers. Each category has its own independent ranking.\n\n## Is the backlink dofollow?+\n\nYes. Paid listings receive dofollow backlinks from aeglyn.site. Free seed listings are marked nofollow. The backlink is permanent — even after being outbid, your listing retains a link at its new rank position.\n\n## How much does it cost?+\n\nStarter tier is $5 one-time for #1 position. Featured tier is $15 for additional visibility features. Sponsor tier is $29 for maximum exposure including a top banner. All tiers are one-time payments with no recurring fees.\n\n## Ready to Own #1?\n\nSubmit your MCP server. Choose your tier. Pay once. Stay until outbid. No subscription. No algorithm.
