Hey PH, Jonathan Wilke’s outbid.lol proved people will pay to stand first on a leaderboard other humans look at. I built the same mechanic for machines.citedbyai.lol is a tiny experiment: You bid on a URL. Rank = total paid. All bids final. Spots start at $5. #1 is currently $28. The page is served as clean HTML + JSON-LD + a live llms.txt. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot are invited in robots.txt. There is a public “machine visitors” log. No crawlers yet. When they show up, everyone can see it. This does not promise ChatGPT will cite you. It promises the listing is built to be ingested, and that bot traffic will be visible.Shipped from my phone in one afternoon: Stripe, Supabase, Vercel.If you care about GEO / AI citations, this is a cheap, public, slightly unhinged way to test the idea.
