Without a doubt being #1 will get you more clicks. If you go to a new site with a ranking list, why not choose #1 first? I think a lot of new visitors probably click #1 for the sake of it being #1. I would think it's a trickle-down effect too. If you don't like #1, try #2, and so forth. I think it's a combination of that effect and your players clicking out again that makes that number decrease the way it does.

When Medievia was on the list here we absolutely got more visitors from "MudPortal" in our tracking when we were at in the top 5 as opposed to the bottom 5 of the top 10. On the days we were #1 and 2, it was also more noticable. We are now #3 at Mudconnector and it is still keeping our "Mudportal" numbers up.

Also- I don't think it's a matter of 'letting' the bigger MUDs on here, is it? I would think they would be welcome to all if they wanted to be here.
