biddinghub-bot
If you run a site that sells screen space and you found this page in your logs, this is what visited you.
What it does
It reads the page or the JSON your site already shows to every visitor: the ranked list, the price of each slot, the click counts. Once an hour, one request at a time, a few dozen requests per site per day. On sites that block non-browser requests it uses a real browser at the same rate.
It never signs in, never clicks a listing, never submits a form, never bids.
Why
biddinghub lists sites that sell slots, ranked by cost per click. Every row links to your own checkout. We send you bidders and we never sit in the payment. Listing is free and cannot be bought: a site is on the list because it publishes its numbers and has live traffic, and for no other reason.
