Top 100 Sista Sites is a web-list of viewer-rated websites geared towards women of color or the majority  owned/operated by women of color.  If you have a website with our demographic in mind, join the fastest-growing weblist of it's kind for FREE!  This link exchange is free promotion and exposure to be among  some of the best websites for and by women of color. Your web viewers vote for your website and you are awarded the chance to benefit from other websites viewers. 

Join for FREE!

How it works: 

Please read the rules below or on Top Sista Sites or Top Sista Blogs to see if  your website/blog qualifies
       Click the "Join" button on Top Sista Sites or Top Sista Blogs
 


           Top Sista Sites & Top Sista Blogs are FREE web-list.
The Top Sista Sites/Blogs web-list works on a link/banner exchange system.

Your visitors are potential visitors to others on the list and
every listed website's visitors are potentially your visitors. To
maintain fairness we stress placing a link.  
 
 
·      Your web viewers click on the Top Sista banner/link on your website/blog, which leads them to a gateway page. 

·     If your website does not indicate they are voting for your website, the gateway page gives them the choice to enter the site without voting. 

·     Every unique hit/click "IN" counts as a vote (each viewer can only vote once every 24hrs). 

·     You must have your unique link code attached for the hits to count.  

·     Clicks "OUT" do not count in the rankings but can give you an idea of how many viewers have visited your site from Top Sista Sites/Blogs.

·     "Rate this site" and "Comments" are reviews web viewers can place on your link from 1-10.

·     The column which has "NR" (not rated) or number attached, is the average # (from 1-10) of ratings received by web viewers.

·     The rating average and clicks "OUT" do not count in the rankings but can give you an idea on how viewers like your website  and/or products and how many have visited your site from Top Sista Sites.

·     The list automatically refreshes every 30 minutes. You can be #40 at 3pm and in the top 10 at 6pm! 

·    The rankings clear every 30 days.  This gives every site the chance at the top spot. You can view the reset times at the bottom of the page.

·    Your description shouldn't have more than 256 characters or it will be cut off.  Describe all pertinent info only. (Tip: If you have a storefront, mention the city & state so people close by can visit. Offer specials to entice viewers to buy.)

·    Banner sizes default to 50x50 and may look distorted if the banner width and height aren't fixed to your banner's actual size.  The maximum width and height is 480x100 but we prefer most banners to be the standard 468x60 for a more uniformed look for  the list. (If your having problems with fixing your banner on the Top Site or our banner on your website, send us an This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will try to walk you through it or fix it on our end if possible.)

·    We named the list Top 100 Sista sites/blogs, but our list will span to as many sites that are approved!  The list will display the top 100 websites banners and the rest will display text links. Therefore, websites on the 5th page or higher may rotate with the website
title and description only.  As we are all visual people, once the images are gone the potential patron is gone as well.  Most web-surfers don't linger on sites and read through pages. So keep yourself in the top ranking!  

·    If you don't have a banner we suggest you get one. Banners are a necessity for online website advertising.  Banners are easy to create yourself with publishing software, free online websites or use one of the web/graphic designers in our directory.  Banners run from $5-35 each. 

·    To attract more viewers it is important the list present a professional cohesive appearance.  We will email you if we cannot find our reciprocal link on your website/blog and/if our banner/link is broken or distorted.  If it is not fixed or we do not hear from you,  we will eventually disable the website or delete it entirely from the  list.

·    If you do not want to provide a reciprocal link on your website/blog or want to ensure viewers will always see your site when they click in; we have affordable advertising space on the weblist on a limited first come first serve basis.  Click here for rates.
