Most Popular Section
There is no logic behind the most popular section in the Yahoo! directory, besides for if Yahoo wants you there?

Or is there logic?

I actually had everyone I know click on our link there (which should have added about 30 clicks in a couple of days from different IP addresses) and that still did nothing.

You are going to need a lot more than 30 clicks to make a dent in the most popular sites.

If not about clicks, what else could possibly affect the list?

I'd like to make the list myself!

Here is what Yahoo! writes about "Most Popular" section:

Quote:
What is the "Most Popular Sites" feature?

In some Yahoo! categories, you'll notice a "Most Popular Sites" section. This area features the sites that are currently most popular among our Internet users. The section will change and update over time, as new web sites are added to the category and as other sites become more popular or less popular with users.

Yahoo! editors have no control over and cannot alter or change the sites appearing in "Most Popular Sites."


I know no more
