How To Setup Your Listing

This section should hopefully give you a fairly detailed overview as to how to install the topsite code into your site, as well as give you some tips on how to optimize your ranking on the top site.

Step 1 - Signing Up
The first and most obvious step is to join the top site list. This can be done through clicking the "Join" link in the navigation bar. From there you will be taken to the registration page where you can enter your site's detail and submit your site for listing.

Once you submit your site's details you should be redirected to a page with some code written on it something similar to this:

<a href="http://www.chatfreeway.com/">
<img src="http://www.chatfreeway.com/button.php?u=sitename" alt="ChatFreeway's Top Sites" border="0"></a>

At this point it important that you take note of the username you registered with, it will also be listed in the code you have just received, it will be needed, along with your password if you wish you change your site details. At this point we arrive at step two, installing your code.

Step 2 - Installing Your Code
At this point you should have received you new code that you have been assigned after registration, you should have also had it emailed to you. From here you will need to place the code onto your website in order to begin being ranked. Basically you will need to insert the code into your own website source I will use the example of a ChatFreeway affiliate.

After the installation of your top site button the top site should begin recording your stats and will be displayed on the the top site along with hopefully an improving rank. Your ranking should take a couple of days to gain an accurate average unique visitor count so your page should steadily progress up the ranks until it reaches that point. Please note that you may wish to place this top site button on more than one if not all of your pages as to gain the most impressions for your site.

Step 3 - Read The Rules
You would think this would go without saying, but it is very important that everyone that joins the top site list read the "rules" and guidelines very clearly and revise them from time to time as the rules will and do change with the times.

Step 4 - Optimizing Your Ranking
Ok so now you have set up your top site button and are wishing to achieve your highest rank possible. Well there are a couple of little tips here that will enable you to achieve you best ranking.

We rank sites on the basis on the number of unique visitors they receive on average per day. This means that for every person that comes and visits your site and sees our button they will be counted.

Ok now knowing this we recommend that you place your top site button on as many if not all the pages of your site as this will enable you to receive the most unique visitors that are counted on the top site. This is due to the fact that not all your visitors will visit one singular page of your site, whilst you may have a or some pages that are very popular they alone are likely not to capture you full site traffic, so we recommend you paste the button on all of your pages.

Secondly we recommend that you place the top site button higher on your page rather than lower, due to when a page loads it loads from the top meaning that if you want to achieve maximum amount of visitor exposures you want to make sure the banner loads before they click a link to another page or close the page all together.

Thirdly obviously you need to have people coming to your site to be receiving exposures so you need a quality site that people want to come back to once they have found this, and well we here at ChatFreeway believe that the best way of achieving this is through good, quality content.

Well we hope that this page has help you with the problems you may be having or have had, and we hope that your stay here at ChatFreeway is an enjoyable one.
