Toplists! ...Still Relevant?
 

I still see a ton of them out there. And I must say, I still get
decent traffic from some of them... Especially the microniche
lists.

no.
45678.

yes 5678

yes 12234

yes

i would say so

i suspect they help with google ranking too.

not huge hits, but probably better hits than from other places.

Toplists still work
Also, nothing compares toplists when it comes to click production

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I dont think i've ever seen a toplist in se results though (at least not at the top of any se results)

oh yeah it's a unique model for targeted traffic, sometimes, thats for sure!

I think for micro niched sites its good traffic, unfortunately they are seem to be the illegal microniches, so stay clear.

Clubdom.com had around 15 top lists because of it micro-niches but because of its brand (online since 1997) we didn't need it..

If you can find a good one and are able to utilize it to gain good traffic. But be warned the majority seem plagued with fake traffic and are half dead.

yes i have some toplists too and they make sales :)

yes mon :rasta

Couldnt hurt

yeah, loads of fake traffic unfortuately

yes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sure, I have a banner that usually sits in one of the top 3 spots on some super shitty free hosted toplists that look like they haven't been touched since 1999, and all I have to do is send 1-5 "votes" a day from a text link buried on my site somewhere. The ratios from the traffic are always great like 1:50. But of course the amount of traffic you get is like 10 uniques a day lol.

LOL that's awesome.

too easy to manipulate.

Yes









:)

Still have a couple from way back time. Still making money.

so fake clicks, basically to boost the rankings in the toplist. Yeah some things never change, lol.

:2 cents::2 cents:

Be aware of hitbots. It is not difficult to manipulate top lists.

a hit is a hit is a hit.

That is all.

Well, no they aren't always the illegal ones but yeah, you are correct that it works best - for me anyway - with micro-niches to filter traffic.
