FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How does it work?
TopMuscleCars.com is a great way to bring free traffic to your web site! Visitors come here to find other Muscle Car related sites on the
web and the higher your site ranks, the more visible it is, and the more hits
you'll get.
Site rank is determined by the number of
votes (hits) you send to this site. Special software tracks both hits coming in and going
out by using the unique URL (web link) that is emailed to you when you first sign up. (Click
here for link instructions) The ranking is based on the number of votes for the current month only, although the grand total number of votes is also shown for reference. Every month the list resets to zero which keeps it fair for new sites. Also, only one vote per visitor will be recorded every 24 hours. Visitors must knowingly click on the link on your page to vote. No automated or forced voting will be allowed. This is simply to prevent unscrupulous "stuffing" of the "ballot box." (see cheating paragraph below for more details)
What do the "In" and "Out" columns mean?
"In month" is the number of votes (or hits) your site has sent to TopMuscleCars during the current month. This is the number that determines the rankings.
"Out month" is the number of times people have gone to your site from TopMuscleCars. This does not affect the ranking at all. It simply tells you how much reciprocal traffic your site is getting back.
"In total" and "Out total" are the total number of votes (or hits) your site has recieved since signing up. Again, this is simply for reference and does not affect your rank.
Who can join? What are the requirements?
Your site must be directly related to American Muscle Cars (classic or late model). Sorry, no imports or foreign car sites. It can be a personal site, club site,, online community, commercial, etc. Your site can be specific to a certain make & model or be of a general Muscle Car interest. To qualify your site must have primarily Muscle Car related content. This doesn't mean you have one or two photos of Muscle Cars and the rest of your site is rice burners or something. Commercial sites are welcome but they must cater specifically to Muscle Cars. This does not include sites selling spark plugs, oil, air filters, driving schools or other such generic stuff.
TopMuscleCars is a family friendly site. We do not accept sites that contain nudity, or links to nudity. If you have questions about whether your site qualifies please email before signing up.
How do I join?
Click on "Add Your Site" to your left or at the bottom of any
page. Once you fill out the information and hit "submit" you will be
given your unique URL (web link) and you can start adding the links and/or banners
to your site. Your listing will not show up until you send at least one hit (vote) from
your site. Please allow 1 hour after you send your first hit for your site to
appear on the Top Doll Sites list since the list re-ranks every hour.
I just tested my link. Why doesn't it show up?
The statistics are updated once every hour, so your votes won't show up immediately. Also, only one vote is registered per visitor every 24 hours to avoid artificially inflating the numbers. And don't forget to double check your link code! Make sure the code ends in your "username" and remember that they are case sensitive. See the linking instructions.
What about cheating?
This really should go without saying, but NO CHEATING! If any member is caught cheating in any way their account will be suspended immediately and with no questions asked. This includes all automated or forced linking. Visitors must knowingly click on the link from your site and you must make it obvious that they are clicking the link to vote for your site. No blind links allowed. Also, no email spamming allowed. Telling your friends is one thing, but mass emailing to people you don't know is spam, is illegal, and will get you kicked off the list. If you see a site who you think is cheating please email me.
