Submit your website
Enter a public HTTP or HTTPS address with working DNS, plus a short description. Links are checked before checkout begins.
How it works
A fair fight for
one top spot.
There is one featured link. Submit a valid website, beat the displayed minimum, and complete payment. Your link takes over as soon as Stripe confirms it.
Enter the duel for $20.00 →The process
Four steps. No mystery.
Beat the minimum
The first placement starts at $20. After that, the form always shows the least bid currently accepted.
Pay through Stripe
Checkout happens on Stripe’s secure payment page. A submitted bid remains private and pending until payment is confirmed.
Own the homepage
Your link goes live immediately after confirmation and remains featured until another completed payment beats it.
↗
Direct, transparent links
The visible link points directly to the owner’s real URL. LinkDuel records the click in the background rather than hiding the destination behind a redirect.
◎
Measured ownership
Clicks, amount paid, start time, and total time on top are recorded. Times are displayed in Eastern Time.
↺
Race-safe refunds
If another qualifying payment finishes while you are still checking out and your amount is no longer high enough, your payment is automatically refunded.
≡
Permanent archive
Confirmed placements move into the public archive after being outbid. Their links remain clickable and can continue collecting tracked visits.
Ground rules
Simple by design.
- 01
Real public websites only. Bare text, localhost addresses, IP addresses, invalid domains, and domains without DNS are rejected.
- 02
Payment decides ownership. Opening the checkout page does not reserve the spot. The first valid completed payment wins.
- 03
Clicks are directional, not personal. LinkDuel counts outbound visits without building individual visitor profiles.
- 04
Moderation still applies. Harmful, deceptive, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate domains may be hidden and blocked from future bids.
Common questions
Before you bid
When am I charged?+
Stripe charges the entered amount when you complete Checkout. Closing or cancelling Checkout does not create a placement.
How long will my link stay up?+
There is no fixed duration. It stays featured until another person completes a higher qualifying bid.
What happens after I am outbid?+
Your homepage timer stops, but the placement remains in the public archive with its bid, clicks, and ownership duration.
Does opening my own link count?+
Yes. A normal outbound visit from the homepage or archive increments the displayed click count.
Can an unpaid bid replace me?+
No. Pending and cancelled checkouts never become owners. Only Stripe-confirmed payments can change the featured link.
