Alrighty, correction on how the Voting system works:
I have no idea where I got the concept of "you have to click on the image code, go to the site, enter a site link, then your referring site will get the vote". I contacted a Moderator to get the full definiation of what "Votes" are and how they occur.
Votes are unique hits to the image button. So yes, there IS a reason why that image code is important. Every unique (different people...can't be the same person) person who clicks on the image banner (the image code that the Aardvark topsite list generates) and goes to the TopSites site will earn the referring a vote. For instance, if member1 clicked on an image banner from
www.websitelink.com and then got directed to
www.topsites.com then
www.websitelink.com would get a vote.
That actually makes sense from my previous concept especially since it puts the image code into a priority.
By the way, to keep everyone updated, here's the current rankings forthe top 3 Fiesta sites:
1. OutsparkClub
2. FiestaHQ
3. FiestaFan
