I wanted to let everyone know that I've made some changes to Smallport's Top Sites page.
The default list shown will now be based on pageviews and it will be a weekly total, not an average. So, instead of people having to click on the banner and intentionally vote for your site, now you are ranked by how often people see the Smallport's Top Sites banner on your site.
I've changed this because, after running the top sites page for a few months I've realized that some sites will hide the Smallport banner and that means they are getting exposure on topsites without returning the favor. Also, changing it to weekly instead of average means there's a better chance for the new guy to end up on the top of the list and the list should change every week according to the activity on everyone's sites.
I would also like to encourage everyone to please join Smallport's top sites list. Perhaps somebody is on one of might sites, but doesn't want to join my game. They'll click the top sites banner and check out the list. They might just decide your game is the one they want! That's the point of the list - to help players find games to fit their play. I have also been trying to get Smallport's topsites list exposure on other sites and on search engines. That means more chances for that next great player to find your game.
So join up! :D
