| What Is A Top 100 Board?
A Top 100 board is a banner exchange system that
has been added to the escort directory product to encourage other
web sites to place your banner on their web site. Their banner,
in return, is placed in your Top 100 Board. The more traffic (or
'clicks') from your banner on their web site to your web site
results in their position on your board to go higher.
How It Works
Users sign up on the Top 100 page of your escort directory
by clicking on ADD YOUR LINK. This takes them to a screen where
they enter their name and contact information, upload their banner
and submit their linking information, as well as telling you where
your banner will be placed on their site. Once this has been submitted
successfully, they will be taken to a second screen that enables
them to grab your banner, and will also provide the unique URL
for their banner to link to your site. This unique URL is how
the Top 100 boards tracks the incoming clicks.
The number in the IN column on the Top 100 board
indicates how many people have come from their site to yours.
The OUT number tells us how many people have
left your site and gone to theirs. The higher the 'IN' figure,
the higher up the Top 100 board they will be.
What I Can Do In The Content Manager
Content Manager > Top 100 List Manager
Delete banners that do not have links from their site
to yours.
Edit links and any other information that was entered incorrectly
- click on the banner to be taken to the Banner Editor for reporting
information and for access to all the banner information for editing.
Content Manager > Top 100 List
Manager > Top 100 Banner Editor
Here you can edit information, replace the banner
image and view statistics.
CLICKS IN means the number of times a banner was clicked on from
the advertisers site
CLICKS OUT is the number of times the banner has been clicked
on from the escort directory site to the advertisers site.
These numbers are displayed on the Top 100 Board. The content
manager provides some protection for fraudulent inbound clicks.
> Banner Image URL: the web address of the advertisers banner.
The banner must be stored on their server. Top 100 banners are
not uploaded into the content manager
> URL: The web address to which you want the Text Field to
link to. You must type in http://www.webaddress.com. This field
is mandatory. Make sure the link is valid and correct else the
banner will not function correctly.
> RECIPRICAL LINK: the web address in which the advertiser
is displaying YOUR banner.
> Title Field: The words that will appear directly the banner
and will also be linked (make them keyword rich if you can)
> Description: Text area for a keyword rich description of
the linking web site.
> Comments: enter any text to help in the administration of
this banner. 'Comments' text is not published to the web site.
To delete a banner, check the DELETE THIS BANNER box, then hit
the DELETE button at the base of the page
