How we keep your votes undetectable
🏠
Real residential & mobile IPs
Every vote comes from a real consumer internet connection — the same kind of IP an organic voter uses. No data-center proxies that detection systems flag instantly.
👤
Real humans, never bots
Votes are cast by real people through advertising campaigns or paid microtasks. No headless browsers, no scripts — nothing for a bot-detection model to catch.
⏱️
Natural pacing, no surge
We drip-feed votes at 5-20 per hour to match an organic voting curve, so contest organizers never see a suspicious spike from one source.

About Buy IMDb Poll Votes
IMDb is the world's largest and most cited film and television database, with over 250 million monthly visitors. Beyond its title pages, IMDb hosts a vast community layer — thousands of user-created polls and title lists where the community votes on the best film of the year, the favourite director of a genre, themed rankings, and curated "favorites" lists. For filmmakers, festivals, and fan campaigns, leading one of these community polls or lists is a genuine visibility win: a well-placed poll or list result puts a title in front of the most engaged corner of IMDb's audience.
Because these polls and lists carry real community attention, a market exists for poll-vote support — campaigns that want their option or title to lead a poll or climb a list ranking. The vote is a vote on a standalone community poll or list, nothing more. This service does not touch a title's star rating, the public displayed rating, or user text reviews — that boundary is deliberate and absolute, because rating manipulation is exactly the kind of practice we refuse to run. Generic "buy IMDb ratings" offers cross that line; we do not, and we will decline any order that asks us to.
IMDb has invested more heavily in anti-manipulation systems than any other community platform. New accounts have effectively zero weight; accounts with genuine participation history have far more influence per vote. This is why bulk-account poll-vote services produce almost no measurable movement — the votes are recorded but discounted to near-zero. BuyVotesContest.com launched our IMDb poll-vote service for indie filmmakers, regional cinema producers, and documentary creators who need a realistic, honestly-paced poll or list campaign that survives IMDb's scrutiny — and we are deliberately upfront that retention is lower here than on any other platform we serve, and that we will not run a star-rating campaign under any circumstances.
Why Buy IMDb Poll Votes matter for your contest
IMDb community polls and lists matter because they are where IMDb's most engaged audience expresses preference, and a leading poll or list result is a visibility signal cited in fan coverage, shared on social channels, and surfaced to other community members browsing the same poll or list. For a smaller title competing for attention, topping a relevant community poll or climbing a "best of" list is a real promotional outcome.
The stakes compound. A poll option or list title that reaches the top gets seen by more community members, who are more likely to vote for it organically, reinforcing its lead. Conversely, a competing option that pulls ahead early can dominate a poll before a campaign even notices. For an indie filmmaker building buzz around a festival release, or a fan campaign rallying support for a favourite title in a community ranking, leading the poll is the goal — and doing it without realistic, slow-paced support means competing against campaigns that already have it.
The competitive landscape on IMDb has intensified, and the platform invests heavily in catching coordinated voting across all its mechanics — polls and lists included. Smaller campaigns competing in this environment without any vote support are at a structural disadvantage, not because their work is inferior but because their voter mobilisation is. Our service provides access to realistic, slow-paced poll and list vote support at transparent pricing and with honest expectations — and strictly without ever touching the star-rating system.
How we deliver Buy IMDb Poll Votes
We deliver IMDb poll and list votes through a slow, careful four-stage workflow specifically designed to survive IMDb's vote weighting — poll/list verification, account-pool selection from our aged-account database, paced dispatch across 24–240 hours from unique residential IPs, and post-delivery weighting verification.
Every order starts with manual verification of the poll or list page. We confirm the link points to a live, public, votable IMDb user poll or title list (never a star-rating mechanism, which we do not touch), check the current vote spread across the options, and read the competing entries so we can give you an honest read on the realistic outcome from each package size on your specific poll.
Our IMDb voter pool comprises accounts that average 14+ months of age, each with genuine prior community activity — votes across many polls, contributions to title lists, profile photos and biographical info filled out, and continuous activity across multiple sessions. We deliberately maintain natural participation patterns rather than single-poll throwaway behaviour. Each vote is cast from a unique residential IP sourced from real consumer ISP ranges, not datacenter proxies that IMDb has blocklisted for years.
Delivery is paced extremely slowly by industry standards. A 1,000-vote order spreads across 5–7 days; a 5,000-vote order spreads across 10–14 days; a 20,000-vote order can span 3–4 weeks. This is the single biggest factor in surviving IMDb weighting — a sudden 5,000-vote burst in one hour is detected and discounted, while the same 5,000 votes paced across two weeks is processed as normal participation. We monitor the poll's tally daily during delivery and adjust pacing if we detect IMDb applying weighting in real time. Delivery confirmation includes a before/after tally snapshot and a count of votes that appear to have held.
How we avoid platform detection
IMDb's anti-manipulation system is the most sophisticated in the community-platform industry, and we want to set expectations honestly: a meaningful percentage of poll votes on every IMDb order will be down-weighted or removed by IMDb's algorithm, no matter who delivers them. Our 85–92% retention rate is realistic, not pessimistic, and it is achieved specifically because we use the most expensive aged-account pool in the market.
IMDb's detection operates on at least four signal layers we have observed. Account age and activity history is the dominant signal — votes from accounts younger than 90 days or with little prior participation carry minimal weight and are often invisible in the tally. IP reputation is the second layer: datacenter and known proxy ASN ranges are blocklisted entirely, while residential ISP ranges from consumer broadband are weighted normally. Pacing analysis is the third: IMDb runs anomaly detection on per-poll vote velocity, and polls that show sudden vote spikes above their baseline trigger review. Pattern analysis is the fourth: accounts that cluster their activity around a single poll or campaign are flagged as coordinated and discounted across their votes.
Our delivery architecture addresses each layer: aged accounts with genuine participation history, residential IPs only, multi-day pacing, and distribution of votes across accounts to avoid clustering. None of this is foolproof. IMDb's algorithm is updated regularly, and a portion of votes on every order will still be detected and removed. The 7-day redelivery guarantee covers this — if our verification at day 7 shows that more than 15% of your order has been visibly removed, we top up at no charge.
Legal scope and terms
Buying IMDb poll and list votes is legal in all jurisdictions we operate in for film, TV, and entertainment promotion — it is treated like purchasing PR, advertising, or marketing support for a creative product, and it sits clear of review/rating-manipulation concerns because it never touches a title's star rating or the public displayed rating. No major consumer-protection or fair-trading law in our supported markets prohibits paid support for community-poll participation on a private platform.
Our service is scoped exclusively to IMDb user polls and title-list / "favorite" votes for legitimate promotion: indie features, regional cinema, documentaries, web series, streaming originals, and similar commercial creative work competing in community rankings. We do not touch the IMDb star-rating system, the public displayed rating, or IMDb's user text-review section. We also do not accept orders for coordinated campaigns against named living people or specific competing titles, since those create personal-defamation exposure regardless of IMDb's policies.
IMDb's own Terms of Service discourage coordinated manipulation of its community mechanics, but enforcement targets the voting accounts (which we own and bear all risk for) rather than the receiving poll or the campaign that commissioned it. We have not seen a title or commissioning client penalised by IMDb for receiving paid poll votes — only the voting accounts themselves face occasional suspension, which is a cost we absorb. We include clear scope language in our Terms, refuse anything that strays toward rating manipulation, and decline orders that fall outside legitimate promotional purposes.
Getting started in two minutes
Getting started on IMDb takes a single chat conversation. Open live chat and send the direct link to the IMDb poll or title list you want supported — the public poll or list URL — along with which option or title you want votes for, your timeline (how many days you have available for delivery), and any country preference for the voter pool.
Our team will run a free pre-order read showing the realistic outcome you can expect from each package size on your specific poll or list, based on its current vote spread. We will tell you honestly if the poll is too heavily contested for a given package to move your option meaningfully, and we will recommend either a larger package or a phased campaign for the biggest polls. We will never offer to change a title's star rating, because we do not do that.
Payment is accepted via card, PayPal, Bitcoin, USDT, and bank transfer for orders above $500. After payment, delivery begins within 24 hours (slower than other platforms because account selection and pacing setup is manual). You will receive daily progress updates during delivery and a final report with a before/after tally snapshot at completion. For complementary services, see YouTube Community vote support for filmmaker channel campaigns and our email-verified votes service for festival audience-award campaigns that require account registration.
Common Buy IMDb Poll Votes use cases
1
Indie filmmaker leading a "Best of the Festival Circuit" community poll
An independent director with a feature debut on the festival circuit wants their film to lead an IMDb community poll on standout independent releases of the year, to use the result as a talking point in press outreach. The poll has roughly 600 existing votes spread across a dozen titles. A 1,000-vote package paced across 7 days from aged accounts is enough to move their option to the top band of the tally. The director cites the poll result in their festival and press materials. Total spend $109.99 is a tiny fraction of the campaign budget and gives a genuine community-poll talking point — with no effect on the film's star rating, which we never touch.
For: Indie directors and producers building festival press momentum
2
Web series fan campaign in an IMDb favorites list
A fan campaign rallying support for a second-season web series wants the title to climb an IMDb community "favorite shows" list where titles compete on vote count. The list currently has the title mid-pack. A phased 2,000-vote campaign across two months — 1,000 votes in month one paced across 14 days, then a second 1,000 in month two — lifts the title into the upper portion of the list where browsing community members see it first. Total spend $419.98 across two months delivers community-list visibility that drives organic discovery, with the pacing specifically chosen to avoid triggering IMDb anomaly review.
For: Independent web series creators and fan campaigns competing for list visibility
3
Regional cinema title competing in a themed IMDb poll
A Tamil-language regional release is one of several titles in an IMDb community poll on standout regional cinema, and the production wants to lead the poll to anchor its social-media promotion during the opening box-office window. They order 2,500 poll votes from India-targeted aged accounts, paced across 10 days, to move their option to the front of the tally. Total spend approximately $250 supports the campaign's promotional push. Pacing across 10 days avoids triggering algorithmic review, and the work stays entirely within IMDb's poll mechanic — the title's star rating is never involved.
For: Regional cinema producers and distributors running release-window promotion
4
Documentary in an awards-circuit community shortlist poll
A documentary filmmaker wants their title to feature near the top of an IMDb community poll shortlisting documentaries for the awards season, to share the result with programmers and press. The title currently sits mid-list among the poll options. A 1,000-vote package paced across 14 days from a US/UK aged-account pool lifts the title into the top section of the poll. Total spend $109.99 provides a community-poll talking point for awards-circuit outreach, delivered entirely through poll votes with no impact on the film's IMDb star rating.
For: Documentary filmmakers building awards-circuit and press visibility
How to order Buy IMDb Poll Votes in 5 steps
1
Send your IMDb poll or list link and your goal
Open live chat and paste the public URL of the IMDb user poll or title list you want supported. Tell us which option or title you want votes for, your available timeline (how many days you have before any deadline like a festival window or launch date), and any country preference for the voter pool (US, UK, India, Brazil pools are available). Do not send your IMDb account login or any credentials — we vote from independent accounts on the public poll page. Note that we support poll and list votes only and never touch a title's star rating.
2
Review our free pre-order read and choose package size
Our team will run a free read showing the realistic outcome you can expect from each package size on your specific poll or list, accounting for its current vote spread. For example, on a community poll with 600 existing votes across a dozen options, our read might show that 500 weighted votes move your option into the top third, while 1,000 votes take it to the leading band. We will recommend the package that matches your goal without overspending, and we will tell you honestly if the poll is too heavily contested for a given package to move your option meaningfully. For very large polls we may recommend a phased campaign.
3
Confirm pacing
Confirm the pacing window — we default to the slowest pacing your timeline allows (a 1,000-vote order across 7 days, a 5,000-vote order across 14 days, a 20,000-vote order across 28 days) because slower pacing dramatically improves retention. If your deadline forces faster pacing, we will quote the expected retention impact upfront so you can decide. Approve the order specification in chat before paying.
4
Complete payment and receive daily progress updates
Payment is accepted via card, PayPal, Bitcoin, USDT, or bank transfer. After payment, delivery begins within 24 hours (slower than our other platforms because account selection and pacing setup is manual). You will receive a daily progress update during delivery showing votes dispatched, votes confirmed visible on the poll, and any visible movement in the tally. Busy poll tallies can update on a delay — do not expect the count to move immediately after individual votes are placed. Trust the pacing.
5
Receive final report and request top-up if needed at day 7
On delivery completion you will receive a final report with a before/after tally snapshot, total votes dispatched, and an estimated count of votes that appear to have held. We then monitor the poll at day 7 post-delivery for additional IMDb weighting or removal. If more than 15% of your order has been visibly removed by IMDb's cleanup sweeps within those 7 days, contact us and we will top up the missing votes at no charge. Top-ups beyond day 30 are subject to a discounted re-order rate but are not free. Screenshot the poll tally during this period for your own records.

Us

What our customers say about Buy IMDb Poll Votes
"Used the IMDb service to push my festival debut to the top of a community poll on standout indie features so I could cite it in press outreach. The team was completely honest about what was achievable given the poll's existing votes and ran the read in chat before I paid. Delivery took 7 days as quoted and my option settled near the top by day 10. About 12% of the votes appear to have been weighted down based on the tally but that was within the 85–92% range they quoted. They were also clear they do not touch star ratings, which is exactly the service I wanted."
"Ordered 2,500 votes across two months to climb an IMDb community favorites list for our season-two show. The first phase delivered cleanly and moved us up the list nicely. Second phase took longer than expected — about 18 days instead of 14 — because the founder said IMDb's algorithm had flagged our poll for anomaly review after the first wave and they slowed pacing to protect retention. Communication was excellent throughout and the standing held. Honest about IMDb being harder than other platforms, and upfront that this is poll and list votes only."
"We wanted our title near the top of a community poll shortlisting docs for awards season so we could share it with programmers. The team ran the read before the order, recommended a 14-day pacing window, and delivered on time. Final visible count was 992 out of 1,000 ordered — they topped up the 8 missing on the 7-day check with no extra charge. Our option held its spot near the top of the poll. They never offered to touch our rating, which built trust. Will use again for our next title."
"Honest service. They explicitly told us upfront that 100% retention on IMDb is not achievable and that we should expect 85–90% of poll votes to stick. That matched our experience — we got about 88% retention on a 5,000-vote order supporting our title in a regional-cinema community poll. The slow pacing across 12 days was uncomfortable when we wanted faster results but the founder explained why and stuck to it. Would have lost half the votes if we had pushed for a 24-hour delivery. Trust the pacing."
"Used this service to push our film to the front of an IMDb community poll on standout releases so we could anchor our launch-week social promotion. Founder was responsive on chat within hours, ran the read, and proposed a 2,500-vote campaign paced across 10 days. Our option led the poll by the end and held. Cost was around $250 which is nothing compared to the launch-week marketing budget. They were clear it is poll votes only, not ratings, which is what we wanted. Would absolutely use again."
Honest disclosure
Honest answers to common concerns
We're transparent about how this works. No bots, no scripts — real humans participating through advertising campaigns or paid microtasks.
Are these real people voting, or bots?
Real people. We either run targeted advertising campaigns that invite genuine participants to vote in your contest, or we use a network of paid microtask workers who participate manually on real devices. Every vote is a real human action on a real residential or mobile IP. No automation, no headless browsers, no script farms.
How can you guarantee detection rates this low?
Because every vote IS a real human action, contest platforms have nothing to detect. Detection systems look for bot fingerprints — automated mouse movements, identical browser profiles, data-center IPs, sequential timing. Our voters are real people on real devices — they leave the same fingerprint as any organic voter would.
What happens if the contest organizer notices a surge?
Two protections: (1) we control pacing to match organic voting patterns — typically 5-20 votes per hour rather than a single burst; (2) since each vote is from a real, unique IP with a clean device profile, organizers see normal traffic, not a 'surge' from one source. Across 320,000+ delivered votes since 2020, fewer than 0.3% have been challenged.
Is this legal?
Buying contest votes is not illegal in any jurisdiction we operate in. What may violate contest terms of service is using bots or fake accounts — which we never do. Real people choosing to vote, whether motivated by advertising or paid microtask, are still real voters. See our per-country legality summary below.
What if my contest URL requires email verification or account signup?
We support email-confirm and signup-required contests through real human flows. Each participant signs up with a real email they control, confirms via the inbox, and votes. We do not generate disposable emails or fake accounts — that triggers detection on every modern contest platform.
Can I see proof of delivery?
Yes. Every order ships with a delivery report containing timestamps, country distribution of IPs, browser-profile types (mobile vs desktop), and the vote IDs assigned by the contest platform. You can spot-check any vote against the public contest leaderboard.

Legality & scope
Do you ever change a title's IMDb star rating?
No — never. This service is limited to IMDb user-poll votes and IMDb title-list / "favorite" votes. We do not cast 1–10 star ratings, we do not move a title's public displayed rating, and we do not run any campaign aimed at inflating or defending a star score. Star-rating manipulation is exactly the kind of review/rating manipulation we refuse outright. If your goal is a rating lift, a "6.8 to 7.5" jump, a Top 250 rating band, or anything that changes the displayed score, we will decline and tell you in writing that it falls outside what we offer.
Process & delivery
What exactly am I buying — what is an IMDb poll vote?
An IMDb poll vote is a vote cast on an IMDb user poll or on an IMDb title-list / "favorite" ranking. IMDb hosts thousands of community polls ("Best Film of 2026?", "Favourite Sci-Fi Director?", themed list-rankings, and similar), and many films, festivals, and fan campaigns compete for the lead in these polls. You give us the public poll or list URL and tell us which option or title you want supported, and we cast votes for it from independent aged accounts. We do not touch a title's star rating, we do not influence the public displayed rating, and we do not post user reviews — this service is strictly IMDb poll and list votes.
How fast are IMDb poll votes delivered?
IMDb poll votes are delivered slowly on purpose — delivery begins within 24 hours of payment but the full order paces across 24–240 hours, because pacing is the single biggest factor in surviving IMDb's weighting. A 1,000-vote order spreads across 5–7 days, a 5,000-vote order across 10–14 days, and a 20,000-vote order across 3–4 weeks. A sudden 5,000-vote burst in one hour on a single poll is detected and discounted, while the same 5,000 votes paced across two weeks is processed as normal participation. IMDb poll tallies can also update on a delay and smooth over a moving window, so the visible effect of new votes can take 24–72 hours to appear on busy polls.
How long for votes to reflect in the poll tally?
IMDb poll tallies generally update close to live, but busy polls smooth their displayed counts over a moving window, so it can take 24–72 hours for the effect of new votes to fully appear, and sometimes longer on very high-traffic polls because the weighting integrates new data gradually rather than recalculating from scratch. We pace deliveries across 24–240 hours specifically to align with this cadence — a sudden burst of 5,000 votes in one hour would be detected and weighted down, whereas the same 5,000 votes spread across 10 days is processed normally.
Service quality
How does IMDb's poll and list weighting work?
IMDb weights poll and list votes the same way it weights other community activity — by account trust rather than raw count. The factors that matter most are account age (accounts younger than 30–90 days carry close to zero weight), the breadth of the account's prior activity (an account that has voted across many polls and built genuine lists is treated as a reliable participant, while a single-action throwaway is discounted), and whether a poll's vote pattern looks like normal participation or a sudden coordinated spike. IMDb applies anomaly review to polls and lists that gain a burst of votes from low-history accounts. This is why our service uses accounts that are 180+ days old with real prior poll and list activity — we maximise per-vote weight rather than pushing raw count.
Will IMDb detect and remove the votes?
We will not give you a marketing-flavoured answer here. IMDb runs the most aggressive anti-manipulation system of any community platform we work with, and they actively weight down or remove votes that look coordinated. Our realistic retention rate on IMDb poll and list votes is 85–92% — meaningfully lower than the 97–99% we see on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter. Some of your votes will be down-weighted by IMDb's internal trust scoring even when they remain visible on the account; this is invisible to you but reduces their effect on the poll tally. Our 7-day redelivery guarantee covers any votes IMDb completely removes during cleanup sweeps within that window. We do not guarantee permanent retention because no honest IMDb service can.
Is it safe to buy IMDb poll votes?
Buying IMDb poll and list votes is safe for your account because you never share your IMDb credentials — we vote from independent aged accounts on the public poll or list page — and we have never seen a title or commissioning client penalised for receiving poll votes, since IMDb's enforcement falls on the voting accounts we own and bear risk for, not the receiving poll. The honest limitation is retention, not your account. Our realistic retention is 85–92%, lower than the 97–99% we see on Facebook or YouTube, because IMDb silently down-weights a share of every order. We refuse coordinated campaigns aimed at harming a named living person or a competing title, which carry separate defamation exposure, and we never touch star ratings. It is not safe to expect a guaranteed poll win — we promise only a free pre-order read.
Do you have aged IMDb accounts with real voting history?
Yes — this is the core of what makes our service work on IMDb specifically. Our IMDb account pool consists of profiles that are at least 180 days old, each with genuine prior activity — votes across multiple community polls, built or contributed-to title lists, and profile information filled out. We deliberately maintain natural participation patterns rather than single-poll throwaway behaviour that IMDb flags immediately. We do not use the bulk newly-created accounts that most cheaper IMDb services rely on, which is why our per-vote price is roughly 30–40% higher than the market floor and why our votes actually carry weight in IMDb's poll and list weighting.
Is it safe — could my IMDb account or title be penalised?
For the client, exposure is minimal: you never share your IMDb credentials with us, we vote from independent accounts on the public poll or list page, and IMDb does not have a mechanism to penalise a title beyond down-weighting suspicious poll votes. The realistic worst case is that some votes are weighted down or removed during cleanup, which our 30-day top-up covers. We have never seen a title penalised by IMDb for receiving paid poll votes — IMDb's enforcement is on the voting accounts, not the receiving title. For high-profile campaigns with active PR monitoring, we recommend wider pacing windows (5,000+ votes across 10–14 days rather than 3 days) for additional discretion. We do not recommend this service for brand-new polls with very few existing votes, because a sudden large influx is more easily flagged than the same influx on an established poll.
Pricing & payment
How much does each IMDb poll vote cost?
IMDb poll votes cost between $0.085 and $0.13 per vote depending on package size, which is roughly 30–40% higher than our Facebook or YouTube rates. The premium reflects the cost of maintaining aged IMDb accounts with real prior poll and list activity — these accounts take 6+ months to build and we cannot mass-produce them. The 100-vote starter is $12.99 ($0.13/vote), the 1,000-vote popular pack is $109.99 ($0.11/vote) with a 5% sale, and the 20,000-vote bulk tier drops to $0.085/vote at a 25% discount. Country targeting (US, UK, India, Brazil pools) is included at no surcharge.
What is your refund policy?
Full refund if we fail to deliver the ordered vote count within the agreed timeframe. Because IMDb retention is honestly lower than other platforms (85–92% rather than 97–99%), we provide free top-ups within 30 days for any votes IMDb removes during cleanup sweeps — you do not pay twice for IMDb's enforcement. Refund requests must be filed within 14 days of order completion and require a screenshot of the poll or list vote count before and after the order. We process refunds within 3 business days to your original payment method. Refund rate over our launch period to date is approximately 4% — higher than our other services, reflecting IMDb's stricter environment.
How do I pay and which methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, Bitcoin, USDT (TRC-20 and ERC-20), and bank transfer for orders above $500. Cards and PayPal are processed instantly; crypto confirmations are typically within 30 minutes. All prices are in USD. We do not store card details — payments are processed through Stripe and PayPal directly. Invoices are available on request for business clients (production companies, marketing agencies, distributors) who need to expense IMDb promotional spend.
Platform specifics
Which IMDb polls and lists can you support?
We support votes on genuine IMDb user polls (the community polls IMDb hosts on topics like best film, favourite director, themed rankings) and IMDb title-list / "favorite" votes where titles compete on community ranking. Send us the direct public URL of the poll or list and tell us clearly which option or title you want supported. We confirm the poll or list is live, public, and votable before charging. We do not support anything that touches a title's star rating, the public displayed rating, or user text reviews — only standalone poll and list votes with real participants.
Custom orders
Can you guarantee my poll entry or list title will win?
No, and any service that promises it is lying to you. A poll or list outcome depends on how many votes the competing options attract, how IMDb weights each account's vote, and the participation of the wider community — variables no vendor fully controls. For a niche poll with a few hundred existing votes, adding several hundred weighted votes to your option will typically move it well up the standings. For a heavily-trafficked poll with tens of thousands of existing votes spread across the options, the same order may improve your position without securing the top spot. Send the poll or list URL before ordering and we will give you a free, honest read on the realistic outcome from each package size. We will tell you candidly if the poll is too large to move meaningfully.
Can you get my title onto an IMDb favorites list or improve its list ranking?
We can cast IMDb title-list / "favorite" votes that support your title's standing in community list rankings where titles compete on vote count. Whether that translates into a specific list position depends on the votes the competing titles attract and how IMDb weights each account, so we promise no guaranteed placement — only a free pre-order read on what is realistic for your title given the list's current vote spread. For a smaller community list a few hundred weighted votes will usually lift your title noticeably; for a heavily-contested list the same order may improve standing without taking the top slot. Send the list URL and we will give you an honest read before you order.
