Q: What is a topsites list?
A: Per WIKIPEDIA : Topsites (also called Toplists or Top Site Lists) are sites with a ranked listing of different websites, generally related by an overall subject. In many cases a topsite is a directory of related web sites which ranks the listed sites by popularity. Topsite rankings are user generated, usually through voting by visitors (clicks in to the topsite) from member sites or by counting pageviews. Most topsites have an anti-cheat protection system and some display traffic statistics, user ratings, and reviews.
Topsites often list a top 50 or top 100 most popular sites with a similar topic. They can be a significant source of free targeted traffic for member sites if that topsite becomes popular. After several early search engines failed, some people thought topsites might replace them.
Site ranking method is decided by the topsite owner, with votes compiled in a variety of ways. Many topsites have a limit of 1 vote per person within 24 hours. A vote is usually cast by a click of a button graphic or logo. Rankings can be determined by several methods, including:
1. Unique incoming votes from users on participating member sites, to the topsite itself.
2. Outgoing votes from a topsite's visitors, to websites who are participating as a member.
3. The number of times a logo, button or banner gets downloaded from the topsite web server.
4. A combination of above statistics. Votes are often reset to zero each day, week, month, quarter or year.
