Top 20 referrers to Second Life Top Sites are listed on the home page.

Is your site listed at Second Life Top Sites?

If not, add them for free and see how you rank.

I don't think I will, because sltopsites advertises on ad grief plots. If it's all the same to you.

You got some pics or landmark links? If that is how they do business then I don't think I would support any of the websites there either. I'm having an awful hard time finding land that don't have some ugly signs nearby.

That is a very fair question, and in fact I was just trying to remember where it was that I saw the things. I was investigating an area linked to from the forums just a couple of days ago, and moved across a sim boundary, and saw them - I remember thinking "what is this sltopsites thing?" and looking them up. But I should really have recorded some images, bad form not to, and I would not blame somebody for requiring that before making a decision. I will see if I can find them again.

Sorry about that guys, we will removed them asap. Give me 24 hours to clear them.

Very good of you, particularly considering I couldn't remember the location.

OK. All have been removed. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

3. Ranking will be based on Monthly Hit Incoming (from your site).
4. 20 sites will be listed per page. (ranking page)
5. Links to your site will be listed on the ranking page as well as the details page.
