Top Sites working properly/fairly?

[bruce]

I have noticed that your Top Sites listing has some unfairly listed sites. How is it possible to have more "Votes" than "Visits"? I've noticed these two gross violations:

"Nikkei Netas Groups", ranked #10, has 100 Votes & only 67 Visits
"DefiniteAsia Top 10", ranked #16, has 65 Votes & only 37 Visits

Please explain how this is possible!! This is unfair to other sites that are fairly rated.

Hi Bruce, welcome to the board!

Votes are "hits in", visits from the member's page, while visits are "hits out" from Topsites Japan to the member site. Therefore, votes are no ratings, just inhits.

I hope that explains everything. :)

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the explanation. That clears up everything.

P.S. I notice I have an ideogram next to my name that says: Fuhyou. What does that mean?

:clap:

Bruce, sorry about the confusion. :blush:

As for the ideogram: we have introduced new user titles. They change according to your number of posts. Please see the following thread for more info

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the thread on the tiles. I should have recognized the shape as Shogi tiles.....I'm actually a igo player (4-dan), so I've had some exposure to Shogi. Anyway, thanks.

Bruce
