Are Top Web Sites Good For Everybody
Below is a MRR and PLR article in category Internet Business -> subcategory Internet Marketing.
Are Top Websites Good for Everyone?
Introduction
Top websites serve as directories focused on specific topics like clip art, pets, or music. These sites rank member sites based on "votes" from users, where the most-voted site claims the top spot. But are these top websites beneficial for everyone?
Understanding Top Websites
These platforms rank sites by the traffic they generate through a voting system. Members place a backlink to the top site on their pages; each visitor click counts as a vote. Common sections of a top website include:
- Index: A list of sites ranked by hits.
- Sign Up and Login: Where webmasters add or modify their sites.
- Enter Page: Some have gateway pages to prevent cheating.
The higher the votes, the better the ranking on the top list. This traffic-sharing resembles a reciprocal link exchange but with a mediator, making the traffic sources less transparent.
Challenges with the Voting System
The prevalent method for soliciting votes is through clickable images. However, using large or prominently placed images could make a site look unprofessional. Conversely, small, inconspicuous links might not attract enough attention to garner votes.
Do Top Websites Work?
The effectiveness of top websites varies. Success largely depends on the quality of the site in question.
Choosing the Right Top Website
Consider the following when choosing a top website:
- Avoid sites with pop-up windows.
- Ensure they feature sites relevant to your subject.
- Verify they have their own domain.
- Track the traffic you are sending compared to what you are receiving. If you send more than you receive, consider other promotional methods. Explore resources like "How to Sell on The Web" for traffic strategies.
Finding Your Ideal Top Website
Search for sites aligned with your subject or use search engines with phrases like "top site" or "top web site." You can also explore directories like topsitelists.com.
Once you find a suitable top website, register, and integrate their HTML voting script into your site.
Are Top Websites Right for Everyone?
Not necessarily. If your site focuses on providing resources, top sites might be beneficial. However, if your goal is to sell products or services, you risk losing sales if visitors are redirected to the top websites instead.
What to Expect from a Top Website
A high ranking on a popular top website can significantly increase traffic, leading to more sales and opportunities to sell advertising space. Selecting relevant and well-trafficked sites, complemented by professional design as advised by "How to Sell on The Web," can result in substantial visitor growth and increased sales.
