FiestaTop100.com - Vote on your favorite Fiesta Site!

Enter and Vote = Go to the site and be able to submit your own link to the site.

Enter without voting = Go to the site and NOT be able to submit your link to the site.

I did more research and found out that "Votes" are counted when a person clicks on the Aardvarks Mini-banner, gets directed to the TopSites page, and then submits a link to the list. Each submitted link = 1 vote.

So basically, if FiestaFan (or any other Fiesta site) had an Aardvark mini-banner on the site and a person clicked on it, they would be directed to the TopSites page. Once there, IF they submit a link to the TopSite list, then FiestaFan (or whatever Fiesta site it is) gets a vote. The Aardvarks TopSite mini-banner has a code that makes it so that it will detect where the person is coming from so it will know if the person is coming from FiestaFan or not and it will give the vote to FiestaFan.

So, the more submitted sites, the more votes!

But, as of right now, the Fiesta TopSites list is configurated so that votes don't matter. Sites are ranked by amount of pageviews it gets.

Pretty soon, I'll be editing the layout of the TopSites page so that it will show a site's rating and the number of votes it has received.

Ohh I see thanks for the info!

Yeah, I got a code, but I didn't know what to do with it. I saw no where on the site to put it. The directions and information are not very clear at ALL.

I will see if I can go back in and get the code again so we can post it on here. But, that does not make sense to me.

EDIT: Here is our code. Now what do we do with it?

I don't think the ranking system of that site is working properly. I submitted a link to support FiestaFan and now there are two FiestaFan links up there.... >_> Which is definitely not what I wanted and now I can't be bothered to submit something again.

I don't know how that site would be able to measure page views. The in-and-out function seems to work fine. I think.

If page views are being measured, it'd be probably better to list http://www.fiestafan.com/forums as a site as well since I don't ever visit the main page anymore.

Spirit- Post the code somwhere on the front page of FiestaFan so people will be able to click on it. Go to FiestaHQ and see how I set mine up.

Ralath - The TopSites page uses a system where it tracks the people who click on the code. If 100 people clicked on the code and came to see FIestaFan, then there would be 100 pageviews. I only see 1 link of FiestaFan on the list. You will only see 2 links if your site gets randomly picked as a Features site (near the top of the page).

Like I menitoned earlier, I am still editing the site so it will look better soon but the list ranks sites based on pageviews only. I've already told you guys the concept on voting. The ratings feature hasn't been coded in yet.

^^ click on it. It does not work.

It's html coding so you would need to embed it in <html></html> tags...sorta likethis:

Code:

<html>
<body>
echo '
<a href="http://fiestatop100.com/"><img src="http://fiestatop100.com/button.php?u=Spirit" alt="Fiesta Online TopSites List" border="0" /></a>';
</body>
</html>

That's how you would put it into the main page of your site.

I converted the code into bbcode so you guys can see what it looks like when it is fully functioned:

So, if people want to vote for our site, they need to click this?

Or click on this.
