Installation Instructions

This section should hopefully give you a fairly detailed overview on how to have your site listed on our topsite. For information on how to optimize your rank on our topsites please visit our Optimized Your Rank section.

Step 1 - Signing Up
The first and most obvious step is to join the topsite list. This can be done through clicking the “Join” link in the top 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. Please take note of the username and password you used to sign up with so if you made any mistakes during the signing up process or if you wish to change your site’s description in the future you have the ability to access your account. Once you submit your site’s details you should be redirected to a page with some code written on it something similar to this:

At this point we arrive at step two, installing your code.

Step 2 - Installing Your Code
At this point you should have received your 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 Runescape Haven, which is a site on an affiliate topsite list, Runescape 100:

After the installation of your topsite button the topsite should begin recording your stats and will be displayed on the the topsite along with hopefully an improving rank. Your ranking should take around a week 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 topsite button on more than one, if not all, of your pages as to gain the most impressions for your site and in turn maximize your rank.

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