Top 100 Rules & Guidelines

 
 
Why Rules?
This is a competition.  In competition, you always have "rules" that attempt to ensure "fair" play.  In addition, a couple of our rules are designed to keep out players we don't want involved in the game for one reason or another.  Other rules are designed so that the Top 100 is not treated like it is an award or a link graphic. It is a competition.
 
Unique Domains Only
Only sites located on a unique domain are allowed in the Top 100.  Unique domains have a web site address similar to http://www.yourwebsite.com.  If your site or pages are part of a larger site or domain, or has a website address similar to http://yoursite.mainsite.com or http://www.maindomain.com/yoursite/ -- we will not accept it into the Top 100.
 
No "Anonymous" sites
Your site must have a "contact" or "about" page that identifies the principals or company, provides a street address, an email address, a phone number, and identifies the "chief" person in charge.
 
One Web Site Listed in the TOP 100
Some agents or companies have more than one web site.  We only allow you to list one site in the Top 100.  This also applies to companies that create multiple corporations, etc., with different web sites.
 
If you have multiple sites
Since we're interested in counting your traffic, you may place your Top 100 graphic on your other sites.
 
Your Main Page
The graphic must appear on the main page of your web site.  For most sites, this would be the home page. 
  • "Splash" or "intro" pages do not count as your main page.
  • The main page must be included in your site's primary navigation menu.
  • The main page must contain a navigation menu to various sections and pages of your site.
One graphic per page
You may not post more than one Top 100 graphic to a page.  You may not "hide" additional graphics on the page to overcount your visitors.
 
Spamming the Directory

We expect everyone to be ethical, but some fail to live up to those expectations.  Thousands of people visit our site and the sites in the Top 100.  If a Top 100 member is unethically manipulating their site's performance, someone will eventually figure out how. 

 
Probation / Limbo

Violations cause us to place a site on "probation" and unless the offense is corrected, they are deleted from the directory.  We change the graphic to the one on the right when we place a site on probation or in limbo.

 
Report Errors or Abuse
Report any errors or abuse to webmaster@realestateabc.com.  You have to be able to explain the error or how the abuse is occurring.  We rely on you.
