Frequently asked questions

TopWapi is a toplist, traffic swap and promotional platform for independent websites. You list one website, receive a shareable promotional link, and earn one credit for every unique human who arrives through it. Credits raise your position on a live, paginated leaderboard that sends real readers to your site. Every click count on the platform is deduplicated per human per day.

Creating an account and listing one website costs nothing, and there is no paid placement anywhere on TopWapi. The catch is a fair one: position is earned. A site with an engaged audience can outrank a larger competitor, and a listing that nobody clicks will not climb no matter how long it has been registered.

We hash your network and client signals together with a salt that rotates every day and store only the hash. The insert is guarded by a UNIQUE constraint on (link, visitor hash, day), so a duplicate is rejected by the database rather than checked by application code — which is what makes it race-proof. One person, one credit, per day.

No. The raw IP is used to compute a hash inside the request and is never written to the database. We do not run third-party advertising trackers, and we do not sell member or visitor data.

Because otherwise the leaderboard measures how many accounts somebody can register rather than how good their website is. One listing per account keeps the board honest and makes every position meaningful.

No. You must own or represent the website you list. We remove verified impersonations permanently and suspend the accounts behind them. If you want to list a client site, contact us and we will walk you through the verification process.

Sites that serve malware, phishing pages, adult content, or content that is illegal where our members are. We also remove listings that redirect visitors somewhere unrelated to the description, and sites that consist entirely of scraped or auto-generated content. Listings go live immediately, so enforcement is responsive rather than pre-moderated.

Immediately. There is no review queue. Your listing appears on its category page and on the leaderboard at its computed position the moment you submit it, and your promotional link is generated at the same time.

Yes. You can remove your listing from the dashboard at any time, which also deletes its promotional link and its click history. Contact us for full account deletion, and we will remove your profile and any remaining associated rows.

It helps in three honest ways. Your listing is a server-rendered, indexable page with schema.org markup and a link to your site. It sits inside a categorised index, which gives it topical context. And it earns referral traffic that increases the chance of someone else linking to you. We do not claim it will move a specific keyword.

Clicks in the last seven days carry 55% of the weight, thirty-day clicks 15%, lifetime unique clicks 10%, promotional impressions 10%, and verified or featured status 10%. Recent activity dominates deliberately, so the board reflects who is being discovered now rather than who arrived first.

Small-scale automation is uneconomic by design: the reward per credit is deliberately below the cost of running a residential proxy pool. At scale, our deduplication plus velocity thresholds flag anomalous patterns, and listings whose traffic does not correlate with their reported clicks are removed. Repeat offenders lose their accounts permanently.

Yes. Read endpoints for the leaderboard, categories and platform statistics are public and documented at /api-docs. They are edge-cached and require no key for reasonable use.

A small editorial and engineering team that has run content sites and been frustrated by the same problems you have. We publish our methodology openly, including the parts where our approach has known limits.
