| Ultimate Top 200
is a directory of game sites ranked by votes. Powered by the
ToplistX
voting script, we can now allow visitors to rate and comment on
websites listed here. One
person can only vote once every 24 hours.
Ultimate Top 200 uses a rolling
stats tracking system and is configured to display votes
received in the past 30 days. More information on this can be found on
the bottom of the page. We no
longer use voting gateways, gateways are no longer a viable
cheat protection mechanism and with captcha and reCAPTCHA images
added they are more of a hassle to human voters than they are to
bots and automated scripts. Here at Ultimate Top 200 we have one
click voting, all you need to do is to just link to the category
page and your clicks will be tracked. It
may take up to 24 hours before hits in and out are updated, and
1 hour for your site to be displayed.
We've received many emails asking
questions about how things work now, so here's some extra
information that may help.
-
http://www.ultimatetop200.com/<insert category>/ is
the vote link. The tracker code has been imbedded in the
category page allowing us to drop the voting gateway.
- The vote link/button must
be on the same domain as the one you registered.
- Reward scripts may
interfere with the voting process. Make sure your scripts
direct your visitors to category page so your votes can
recorded.
How the rolling stats tracking
system work: Lets say for
this example that the toplist is ranking sites based on votes
for the previous 4 days and that today is Thursday, February 15,
the toplist will add together the votes from 2/11 to 2/14.
So lets say you got 234
votes Sunday, 199 votes Monday, 210 votes Tuesday,
and 227 votes Wednesday, your vote total for those 4 days would be 870.
This would show on Thursday.
The days highlighted by the darker
shade show the days that are counted.Now, lets say an extra day has pasted, throw Sunday out the window because now we're counting votes from
2/12 to 2/15.
So lets say you got 199 votes
Monday, 210 votes Tuesday, 227 Votes Wednesday and
130 votes
Thursday, your vote total would go down to 766. This
would show on Friday.

Notice how the highlighted days
are "rolling" forward.
This is how a rolling stats tracking system works.
