bidbetter.lol started as a simple side project hoping to clear off my family's debt: no ads, no API keys, no revenue sharing. Just claim #1 — that's it.
The site launched on August 19th, 2026, at 11:08 PM.
A few crazy things that happened since then:
Enough traffic to break the analytics provider (see previous stats →). Had to switch to datafa.st last night to keep the counter running. Someone offered $100k to buy it. At least 10 copycats emerged in the first day.
This is wild! Claimed #1 on bidbetter.lol and got 10k clicks in 24 hours. The traffic is highly targeted and converts crazy well.
Outbidding the competition on bidbetter for developer-tools category. Highly recommended for indie hackers looking for visibility!
Bought the #1 spot on bidbetter.lol for $12,700. Got 1,800 signups, and $50k/mo currently in the pipeline. Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY YES.
Result from our bidbetter bid: Friday: 44 trials, Saturday: 38 trials, Sunday: 31 trials. It was incredibly successful. People told me it was just bragging, but it actually worked.
Secured rank #2 in dev tools on bidbetter. Generates a steady stream of highly qualified developer leads. Pays for itself within the first 12 hours.
Attention markets work. Got featured on bidbetter rank #1 and traffic spiked to 15k unique visitors. Insane ROI for launch day!
Tested bidbetter traffic. Conversions are solid, users stay longer. Definitely worth bidding for top slots if you have a developer tool.
Claimed Rank #3 for my SaaS. Got featured in the daily newsletter too. Easiest way to get early traction and validation.
bidbetter is the new Product Hunt. Bid for traffic, get high intent clicks, no algorithm games.
The board is still here. Same rules. Same idea. Rank is what you pay — nothing else.
