For the default main page ranking, average weekly unique visitors over a ten week period. There is a secondary “votes in” ranking and “hits out” ranking available from the drop down menu on the main page. All rankings are based on average over a ten week period. This is to ward off a site with huge traffic becoming #1 in one day then removing the button or a hit cheater will not affect rankings as much before I notice it.
If I missed something here please let me know.
If anyone has a better idea for default rankings let me know that also.
P.S.
Let me try and lay this out better:
All sites which place the Pokers Best button are ranked according to how many times that button is loaded on any page of the registered site. The rankings are totaled over a ten week average. Any site which goes seven days without a single hit will be removed by the system.
If someone clicks the button from your site and chooses to vote for you, that is also ranked over a ten week average. This is different than the main page ranking.
Finally the hits out is counted by the number of people who click your link from the Pokers Best site over a ten week average. This is also a different ranking than the above two.
