The rules. No fog.
Updated August 25, 2026.
Service
People add links for search phrases. Sifte checks them. Anonymous votes set organic rank. Humans break ties.
Your links
- Share only public links that you can share.
- Use honest titles, notes, and phrases.
- Do not send illegal, harmful, private, false, spammy, or off-topic content.
- We can approve, reject, edit, or remove a link.
Votes
Do not automate, dodge limits, fake people, trade votes, brigade, or attack Sifte. We can remove fake votes and block abuse.
Rank and review
A safety check is not an endorsement, warranty, or fact-check. Rank can change with every vote.
We do not promise traffic, sales, leads, approval, uptime, or rank elsewhere. Anyone who does is selling fairy dust.
Money and ads
Sifte is free at launch. Clear ads or paid tools may come later. Money will not buy organic rank.
We will show new paid terms before we collect money.
Changes
We can change or stop features and update these terms. We can remove links or votes that hurt safety, relevance, trust, or legal compliance.
