Infor Gathering

[C.L. Mareydt]

Is Aardvark Topsites an Information Gatherer? Do they use ALL the links and people information for ... other purposes?

I just have been questioned by it from a site owner, so I thought I would check into it again.

Please inform.

Also, is there a "HELPS" cheat sheet? To explain the functions of the Control Setting page? Might sound simplistic, but I could use it ... and I'm sure a few other newbies could too!

You have an excellent service here, and I'd like to have the best out of the whole experience, plus the people who take the time and effort to hook up with my list.

Please advise. Thank You!

we don't spam people or anything. all your info is completely private. i should probably post that up on the website somewhere.

for now, there's no extra help. i'm planning on writing some though, so if there's something you don't understand, please tell me and i'll try to make it clearer.

Thank you for you response - I will put that alert on my directory listing for others to read and know. Exactly, what do YOU get out of providing ALL of this for FREE - if I might ask?

I have noticed that the aadvark buttons that show up on listed sites do not all show the ranking number? A few do - a few don't. It that a configuation setting of the site owner as they add their site into the listing? Or me?

Also, please explain the 'gray bar' that is showing up in the listing directory on certain sites.

Also, can I make a small url button that is loaded in to Flicker.com photo storage - which is the same as my own banner? I'll probably try that before you respond anyway ... but I thought I would ask.

Also, can we add our own url listings to our own directory?

Like I said, I am a newbie ... but as you can see ... many are starting to sign up already. Have a good Holiday day!

Thanks again.

there's an ad at the top of every topsites list, i get income from that.

ranks on buttons is an option, you can use it if you want but it's not required.

i don't know what you mean about a "grey bar"... what's that?

it depends on whether flickr lets you link to images. you can try.

you can, but i don't know if it would accomplish anything.

"i don't know what you mean about a "grey bar"... what's that?"

If you would check these two sites out on my list:

An Intimate Walk
Newest literary Biblical novel
http://awordfitlyspoken.itopsites.com/

see the thicker gray bar on the far right hand bottom portion - on there listings ... and not on other listings? I did not know what that meant.
************************************************
COULD YOU BRIEFLY EXPLAIN THESE SETTING PREFERENCES?

1. Button Settings - Do you want your member's rank on their button?
(i understand this one but not the rest ... sorry)

2. If No - URL to the button you want to appear on members' sites


3. If Yes - URL to the directory the buttons are in (buttons named 1.png, 2.png, etc.)


4. If Yes - Extension of the buttons (gif, png, jpg, etc.)


5. If Yes - Number of buttons you have made - The max is 10

Thanks for your replies Jeremy - appreciated.

the ones that say if yes, answer if you say yes to ranks on buttons. the ones that say if no, answer if you say no to ranks on buttons. what did you pick?

i don't see any gray bar on your list.

[C.L. Mareydt]

I answered "Yes"

OK? or not OK?

I'd like to figure out how to make buttons that represent my own banner. Is that even possible ... can they be used instead of the Aarvark button?

Another stupid question ... exactly what are we getting out of this as a List Owner?

Thanks again!

[Jeremy]

if you said yes, then create your buttons, name them 1.png, 2.png, etc. and upload them somewhere. then just set that url.
