WTS Ranking
Criteria
A great number of criteria are
used in evaluating the performance of WTS Member Sites, much of it
is displayed on the Class List Pages, but some aspects are worked
out behind the scenes. A fairly in-depth account is given in
the following paragraphs. The T50 Page is ranked purely by the
amount of traffic sent to
http://www.worldstopsites.com url.
Color Coding
Firstly, mention should also be made of of the color system used in
Grading WTS Member Sites, it is intended as a graphical depiction of
the sites standing in relation to each other.
Best
Worst.
WTS Members Class Rankings
Secondly, Gold,
Silver &
Bronze Class Rankings are worked of the Grade (see
Below); Pass Sites that rate lowly will be linked in the
Bronze Section, average sites in
the Silver Section, & superior
sites in the Gold Section.
Gold Class cut-off point is
5.0 > 4.9
Silver Class cut-off point is
4.8 > 3.6
Bronze Class cut-off point is
3.5 > 0.0
The Grade
The Grade is a number & color value given to a Pass Site as a result
of its performance in a number of areas
Grade Color & Number Range is as follows:
4.9 - 5.0
4.6 - 4.8
3.6 - 4.5
2.6 - 3.5
0.0 - 2.5
The Final Grade is determined by the accumulation of points in
the following areas:
Passwords, the number of
working passwords is collated & checked against the WTS scam
database. Only those passes not recognized as scams are
counted. Excessive use of passwords to the same Adult Site are not
counted.
251+ Working Passes will result in a +1.2
modification
151 - 250
Working Passes will result in a +.7 modification
101 - 150
Working Passes will result in a +.2 modification
50 - 100
Working Passes will result in no modification
0 - 49
Working Passes will result in a -.2 modification
These points are not accumulative.
This will be the number determined at the time of evaluation, & of
course may vary from what is actually available at the current time.
Evaluations are done at random times within a 4 hour period to
get a better sample of the Pass Sites consistency.
Percentage of Working Passes,
is also checked every 4 hours. If a site has a large number of
dead &/or scam passes in its list, it will greatly effect ones
ability to find a working pass. Scams are worked out from the
WTS scams database, added to the re-directed sites total, which is
then added to the number of failed passes; this number then is
added to & divided by the the total number of working passes.
10 failed/scam passes & 90 working passes would return a 90% Working
Result.
95% + Working Passes % will result in a +.6
modification
85% - 94%
Working Passes % will result in a +.3 modification
71% - 84%
Working Passes % will result in a +.1 modification
60% - 70%
Working Passes % will result in no modification
0% - 59%
Working Passes % will result in a -1.0 modification
Server Speed, also has a
bearing on the Pass Sites Grade. I have a program that uses
proxy servers in 5 different counties at various points around the
world to check the speed at which a sites page downloads.
These are then rated as follows...
Fast Speed will result in a +.2
modification
Good
Speed will result in a +.1 modification
Avrg.
Speed will result in no modification
Poor
Speed will result in a -.1 modification
Slow
Speed will result in a -.2 modification
Scam Links, has a bearing
on the Pass Sites Grade. The more Scam Links a pass site has
the lower its Grade will go. WTS counts anything listed in its
scam database towards this mark. The Scam list is
HERE.
These are then rated as follows...
0 - 3 Links will result in a +.1 modification
4 - 6
Links will result in no modification
7 - 10
Links will result in -.1 modification
11 - 15
Links will result in a -.3 modification
16+ Links
will result in a -.5 modification
Links, also has a small
bearing on the Pass Sites Grade. The more links a pass site
has the lower its Grade will go. WTS counts dead passes &
scams as links in addition to the other sites a pass site may link
too. These are then rated as follows...
0 - 20 Links will result in no modification
21 - 30
Links will result in no modification
31 - 40
Links will result in no modification
41 - 50
Links will result in a -.3 modification
51+ Links
will result in a -.5 modification
Additional Points may/will be added to a Pass Sites Grade under the
following circumstances.
