Please remember that each site is allowed only ONE LISTING
COMPLETE SITES ONLY please - no stand-alone
"single-page" sites will be allowed to have listings in
their own right. But "Umbrella" or "Index" pages
containing links to such pages WILL be allowed if the number of links and
content is substantial enough.
Bear in mind that Top Listed Sites reserves the right to decide
under which category
your site should be listed.
Those with Priority
Listingcan change their
site's weight to adjust the credits deducted per clickthrough - from 1 credit
per clickthrough up to 10 credits per clickthrough. Priority sites with
greater weights are listed above those with lower ones. A
site owner may adjust the weighting to 0 (zero) which temporarily turns off
the site's priority status. The remaining credits are preserved until priority
status is reactivated by the site owner increasing the weighting to 1 (one) or
more. All priority listings lose their priority status after the credits run
out, and return to their normal "free listing" status
Those with Logo Listing
can change the URL of their logo, as well as its width and height in pixels.

visitors submit their votes for the site. The higher the rating, the more
stars a site gets (maximum 5) and the brighter and redder the stars will be.
