Q: How does CoinTop100 work?

A: When you join, you will be given a small piece of HTML code to cut and paste into your sites home page or sub pages. This code will display a normal text link to CoinTop100.com (example of how return link will look on your site: CoinTop100). Each time a visitor to your site clicks on this link, it will be tracked and rank you according to how popular your site is. The more clicks you receive, the higher you will be ranked on the list.

It is up to you to decide on how many pages of your site you wish to place the tracking return text link. Obviously, the more visible and the more frequent the text link appears, the higher your respective ranking will be.

The example html linking code that you would place within the link on your site is as follows:

Q: Why should I join?

A: More Visibility, Visitors and Brand Building Power! On average, your site should receive more visitors (hits out) than it sends in. This occurs for two main reasons:

· Because hits in open in the same window, but hits out open in a new window. So more than one member site can be visited at a time.

· Some users set CoinTop100 dot com as their home page or bookmark and revisit it.

Google currently indexes and searches over 8 Billion web pages. In the interest of saving valuable time, the potential coin buyer or investor will seek out CoinTop100. Cluster sites which aggregate websites around an interest or topic are becoming more and more important as the internet grows larger.

1. Similar to the way people place a high perceived value on the USA TODAY's 'Top 50 colleges' list, people will also find great utility in the CoinTop100. The 'Internet Coin Industry' is highly fragmented and CoinTop100 helps to consolidate it and bring clarity to first time as well as seasoned traders.

2. CoinTop100 dot com is also actively managed and promoted externally for increased visibility. This includes potential reviews in offline/online print publications who often do 'site reviews' and may find CoinTop100 as very useful to their member base. In addition, business alliances and advertising deals are made with other high traffic targeted sites in order to make CoinTop100 the premier Top 100 coin site.

3. Prestige, Branding, Visibility. Being listed on the CoinTop100 shows you belong to the best of the 'Internet Coin Industry'.

4. Diversification of your traffic base. The sites that list under the umbrella of the Top100 Family represent a broad diversified traffic base. This means new potential customers for you.

The articles will be 'pressed' on Coin Top 100 giving visitors a reason to come back. In addition, the top 50 Coin Sites will be listed on the front page of the Coin Collecting Blog Editorial website, plus the top 20 Coin sites will be listed on EACH Editorial page. What this means is that if your site is within the top 20, it can potentially be listed on THOUSANDS of very search engine friendly editorial pages giving you enormous FREE exposure!

Q: My site is a high traffic site, why should I bother participating in the CoinTop100?

A. Sites that already have substantial traffic can still benefit from CoinTop100. First, you will receive proportional traffic back to your site, to the amount you send in. You will be able to diversify your traffic base (new customers) from the ones you already have. The CoinTop100 lists the 'whos who' of the 'Internet Coin Sector'. Not being included in this list may leave some to wonder why. When the mainstream investor/consumer wants to find out about coins, they will find what they need at the CoinTop100. And finally, its free, no risk. Lastly see point number 8 (RSS FEED) above. This one point alone is reason enough for you to participate.

Even if you are currently running a paid advertising campaign on other websites, participating in the CoinTop100 is a way to further leverage that paid-for traffic.

Q: My site is very small. Can I join?

A: Yes, of course. We hope you get a lot of extra traffic to help you grow. In addition, cointop100 dot com randomly chooses sites from all those listed regardless of rank and features them on the front page above 1st place on each page (On 8 Pages) (at the very top) providing outstanding visibility and FREE exposure.

Q: I submitted my site, but it isn't showing up on the list. Why?

A: Your site will not appear until you have placed the HTML code on your site, clicked once to activate your account and the list has been reranked.

Q: I want a higher rank. Can I place a return link in my mailing list?

A: Yes.

Q: What are reranks and resets?

A: Every 30 minutes, the list is reranked. This means that the votes accumulated in the previous 30 minutes are used to reorder the list. In resets, which occur monthly, the votes and visitors counters are set back to zero, so that the ranking can start afresh.

Q: You have more sites in your database than you have places on your list. Will this adversly affect my chances of being listed?

A: It should not. We let dormant accounts remain on the list because we understand that some such member sites will begin to receive traffic at a later date, and we expand our list periodically to attempt to ensure that all sites that are sending even one hit weekly are displayed.
