The Top Baby Pages Competition was started as a way for parents
and grandparents to share (and show off) the special babies
and toddlers in their life and then be awarded by votes from
their site. We later (after many requests) added a
competition for baby-related businesses. The competition is ongoing and the votes will be
reset to zero every 6 weeks to keep the rankings changing.
The list resets periodically throughout the day. You need to
refresh the screen to see updates.
After a site has been in the Top 3 for two resets, it will
be "retired" from the voting and placed on the site.
Retired sites can be viewed here.
Your site must have one vote to show up on the list. This
can be done by clicking on the link that is sent to you via email.
Listings:
Previous
is the ranking of the site at the last list
reset.
Votes IN
are the number of votes the site currently has.
This number increases with clicks to the link given to each site
when they joined the list. The vote must be coming in from
the child's site to the list be counted.
Votes OUT
are the number of times a viewer of the Top
Baby Page list has clicked on a site on the list, and left the
list to view it.
Voting:
Once your site
is approved for the competition you will be emailed a special
html code to add to your site which includes a voting button
image. If you'd like to choose a different button, we
have several choices here.
Each IP address can vote ONE time site per site, per day.
Any more votes from that IP address will not be counted.
It is considered cheating for a user to vote multiple times
for their site, even if the votes are not counted.
The votes should be from people visiting and enjoying your
site.
Any AUTOMATIC voting script
or program is not allowed. Sites who attempt to gain
votes this way will be asked to remove the script and put on
inactive status if they don't comply.
Verification:
All sites must be approved by
me before being added to the list.
I reserve the right to remove
sites that are inappropriate for the list or if the URL is bad
or for any reason at my discretion.
Banners:
The link to your banner must be a direct link to a .jpg or
.gif. A link to the page it is on will not work.
For example, a link should look like this:
http://www.yoursite.com/images/banner.jpg
Banners
must be no larger than 468 x 60.
Only the top 20 sites will have their banner shown.
