TOP SITE
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A TOP SITE?
Topsites are site lists focused around a common topic, for
example clip art, pets, music etc. Sites on these lists are
ranked in order of "votes" - the site that gets voted most
gets the top place, the site that gets the 2nd biggest amount
of votes gets the second place and so on. The voting system
is simple; each topsite member places a link back to the topsite
on his site and for each visitor that clicks the link, the
site gets one vote.
WHAT ARE TOP SITES?
It's a links site, that ranks member's sites by
the amount of traffic they send in. They usually rank a list
of the top 10 - 100 sites focused around a common topic, for
example health, business, music etc.
The sites on these lists are ranked in order of
"votes" - or referrers. The top referrers get one banner of
theirs listed free of charge, in the top sites section.
The top sites have three common areas:
In order to generate votes, each topsite's member places a
link back to the topsite on his web site, and every time one
of his visitors clicks over that link, he gets one vote. The
more votes he gets, the better his position will be on the topsites
list.
The site that gets voted most gets the top place, the site
that gets the 2nd biggest amount of votes gets the second place
and so on.
Obviously, most of the traffic that goes to the topsites pages,
go to the high ranking sites, although some of the lower-ranking
ones can also get a reasonable share. And the topsites pages
get traffic through the voting system, so everybody gets more
traffic.
Topsite lists are then very similar to the reciprocal
links (you can read about it at: http://www.easy-home-business.com/reciprocal-link.html)
but with an important difference, at the topsite
lists, there is a "middleman" and you can't really tell with
which sites you're exchanging traffic with.
The main system utilized for requesting the
"votes" to the topsite is usually a picture, and
this could be a real problem. If the link picture is too big
or you put in a too prominent place, your site might look
unprofessional. If you use a small link picture, then you
might not get the votes you need to rise on the list because
people might miss it.
Top site lists allow you to automate the link
exchange and distribute traffic between participating sites
according to the traffic they send in. And they increase the
traffic to your web site for free.
But as always the big question is: Do they
work?
Sometimes does, and sometimes doesn't, it all
depends on the quality of the topsite in question.
HOW SHOULD YOU CHOSE
A TOPSITE?
Look for one that doesn't have any pop-up windows
It must have a lot of sites closely related to the subject
of your site
It must have it's own domain
Monitor the traffic you're sending to the list and the traffic
you're getting from it. If you send more than you receive,
resign and find another topsite or other promotion method.
HOW TO FIND YOUR TOP
SITE
Look
for sites dealing with the same subject as you. They might
even already be a member of a related top site
Look
for "topsite" or "top site" at the Search
engines
Browse
the topsite list directory: http://www.topsitelists.com/directory/
Once
you chose the top site you like, just fill out the form
and your site will be ready to be visited. Then you will
have to ad to your place the HTML script that the top site
will give you. This script is the one that will allow your
visitors to vote from your site.
ARE TOP SITES GOOD FOR EVERYBODY?
No, they aren't...
If
you have a content web site, who's objective is to provide
resources to your visitors, then including your site in
a a top site's list could be a good idea.
If
you have created an awesome site to sell products or services,
and give the people the opportunity to vote for your site;
they might get so enthusiastic with the good content of
your site, that they decide to vote for you, so they click
on the voting button and...! They jump to the top sites
web page, and your sale is lost!
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A TOP SITE?
To
have a high ranking in a very visited top site list can
be very good for you, because it will increase your site's
traffic, and traffic means sales, and the opportunity to
sell advertising space
If you chose well your top site's lists, picking up the
ones with good traffic, and create a professionally designed
site (you can read about it at: http:www.easy-home-business.com/better-business-site.html)
you will get thousands of visitors to your site, and that
will give you many sales.
