Using Top 100 Lists

What Is a Top List?
A Top List is similar to a link list, except they rank the sites on numeric scale measured by the amount of "hits" you send to them. When you sign up at a top list to exchange traffic, you are given a special code to link to them with. When a surfer clicks on the link and goes to the top list you are given 1 credit. Some top lists show the "In" hits (you send them) and the "Out" hits (they send you). The more hits you have in, the higher you will be on the list. There are many types of top lists ... Top 50, Top 100, etc.

How do you find a top list?
There are many ways to find a top list that fits your niche. First you can search for sites with similar content as yours. When you find one that is connected to a top list, check that list out. If you like it sign up, if you don't well then don't. Pretty simple, eh? Now just click on the sites that are listed on that top list. Look around at the site and you'll probably find links to more top lists (which should still be the same niche of that site). Now click on the link to the different top list. Rinse and Repeat.

How do you choose a good top list?
1) You need to pick the Top List according to how many hits you'll be sending it. If you're thinking of signing up for 3 top lists and you'll only send 25 hits a day to each top list, then you don't want to sign up for a top 50 list where the #50 guy has 45 hits at the end of the day. If it's like that you won't get listed. Now if you sign up for 5 top 100 lists where the #100 site has under 25 hits at the end of the day then that's where you want to go!

2) Now you'll want to look at the ratios. If they have an in/out ratio then you can see what traffic goes through the site. If they only have a listing for hits sent in, then try to get one with a #1 spot of 300+ hits and a #100 spot of 5 hits or something close. My point is when you are sending in 25 hits those 25 people click on somebody elses site, the one with 300 hits means there's 300 surfers for you!

3) You also need to check out the site. Make sure it would be a site you'd like. A pop up is okay, but clean top lists = more bookmarkers = more traffic.

4) Try and pick an anti cheating top list. Top lists like these usually have a double click system to prevent fake "in" counts. For example you have a lesbian site linking to DildoBiznitches Top List. When the surfer clicks that link they are sent to a page that says "This is DildoBiznitches Top List! Click Here to Enter!" Once they click Enter, they are sent to the top list and you get the credit. Free scripts send the surfer directly to the top list. So if a top lists is using this script to count hits somebody could just sit at you're site and click the link over and over and over to get credit.

What do I say for my title and description?
Okay, so you found a good top list, you're ready to sign up, now you have to really think. Look at the sites with the highest "out" hits. (if no out hits are listed, look at some of the higher "in" hits). The higher "out" hits show more people clicked on those links because their title and description sound good. Now try to make something better. Think your site being a sponsor, what would you say to get people there? If you're site is free, say it it. If it's not, don't mention it. Also match the text of the other sites. If they are all capitals then go all capitals in the description, if they aren't then do a capital letter for each word.

Example: Teen Top List
Title: Tight Ass 18yr Teens from Sweden
Description: Teens so young and naive that they let you do anything to them! Cum see what incredibaly huge things they stick in their holes!

Example: Shemale Top List
Title: Extreme Teen Hot Dog Hiding Nymphos
Description: The youngest cock swallowing shemales your Mom would approve of! Tons of pics, cocks, and tight assess!
