How do I change my listing on
HumorLinks?
Just go to the following location: - Modify a Site
Bear in mind that HumorLinks reserves the right to decide
under which category
your site should be listed.
Those with Priority
Listing 
 can change their
site's weight to adjust the credits deducted per clickthrough - from 1 credit
per clickthrough up to 10 credits per clickthrough. Priority sites with
greater weights are listed above those with lower ones. A
site owner may adjust the weighting to 0 (zero) which temporarily turns off
the site's priority status. The remaining credits are preserved until priority
status is reactivated by the site owner increasing the weighting to 1 (one) or
more. All priority listings lose their priority status after the credits run
out, and return to their normal "free listing" status
Those with Logo Listing
can change the URL of their logo, as well as its width and height in pixels.
What sort of humor sites get
rejected by HumorLinks?

such content)

links

What do the red stars mean, and how
does my site get on the 
page?
All newly-listed sites are given an initial
default rating of 8.00 (on a scale from 1.00 to 10.00). The rating is treated as being the average of
100 votes. This average will change over
time as visitors submit their votes for the site. The higher the rating, the more stars a site gets (maximum 5) and the
brighter and redder the stars will be. Once a site has a rating of 8.4000 or more, it is eligible to be listed on the
page.

order of rating. If priority sites have the same weight, they are ordered by
sites (less than eight days old) in
order of newness, followed by ,
then
