How it works

Traffic trading and the toplist

mySiteChart counts two things for every website on the list: how many visitors it sends out to other sites via mySiteChart, and how many visitors it receives from other sites via mySiteChart ("in").

The toplist ranks by inbound traffic — how many real visitors mySiteChart has actually sent to your site — over either the last 7 days or the last 24 hours (you can switch between the two views at the top of the page). It's a rolling measurement, not a fixed, lifetime total, so an active, well-functioning traffic exchange matters more for your ranking than an old, one-time submission that's never received any real traffic since.

Websites with no recorded inbound traffic yet don't appear on the toplist itself — they're still discoverable in the regular category directory, but only enter the ranking once they've received their first real visitor via mySiteChart.

What gets approved

For a website to get approved, it needs real, visible content on its front page. We don't approve:

• Parked domains
• "Coming soon" pages with no real content
• Plain advertising/parking banners

Some submissions get approved automatically, based on a quick technical check of whether the site actually responds and has real content. Others get reviewed manually. See the full terms for the exact rules.

Step by step

• 1. Submit — domain, title, a short description, and a category for your website.
• 2. Review — either an automatic check, or a manual review, depending on what's needed.
• 3. Approved — your site is now visible in the directory, and shows up on the toplist as soon as it has received its first inbound traffic.
• 4. Trade traffic — link to your mySiteChart listing from your own site (e.g. a badge or hit counter), so real visitors actually move between the sites. The more genuine traffic you send through mySiteChart, the more visibility and ranking you get in return.
