ProChips makes use of a voting system that helps to determine the positioning of websites in our directories. Such votes are dependent upon the number of users that find useful and relevant information pertaining to what they are searching for on such sites. The moment people start clicking these Vote Now buttons, the site having the maximum number of votes would be listed first.
Since ProChips always likes to ensure that users find a competent list of knowledge on such websites, we do not utilize any meta-data or backlinks as a means of ranking. Since a single user cannot drastically affect the number of votes that a particular website has, there can be no fixing. Although the results are tabulated automatically and consist of unique visitor clicks, the greater the number of votes that a particular website receives, the better is its chance of ranking higher in a particular category.
When a website ranks higher up in the directory listing, it is an indication of the fact that the site is more trusted by Internet users due to the precise and accurate information it provides. ProChips also ensures that all votes received are monitored. The only exceptions are reciprocal links and other sponsors that a customer might find at the top and to the right of page. Such advertisements are placed in a manner so as to make them less obstructive to a viewer. At the same time, editorial recommendations are also provided at the top of the normal listings and are not included in the voting system. Since ProChips is committed to providing quality information to its online users, the higher the number of Internet users that vote, the better it is in helping others.
