How to increase your Ranking.
On Sign up an email is sent to the email address you provided with the code for your Cumulus Topsites Button.
This small piece of code needs to be placed on any or all of your website pages. This button provides you with information concerning your Ranking, the Hits you have had Today, your Average Hits and your Rating.
When one of your visitors clicks on your Button they are redirected to the Cumulus Topsites Banner page. On the way the Topsites Gateway window will open allowing them the choice to Vote on entry or enter without voting. This window is merely to deter visitors or yourself from cheating.
