[POUET] Ranking

[benny!]

Hi all,

cool to see that my p1nkPong game got some positive feedback
on pouet - but I question myself how the ranking works ? How
much counts a thumb up - a much a piggy and how much a thumb
down to calculate the ranking ?

Is there any info about that ?

Yes but they wont tell you - well maybe over a beer at a party. I should add that over the last few years Ive begun to realise that the only thing that really matters is how many thumb ups you get: dont worry about downs and dont worry about ratings - they are affected too much by good or bad advertising and a few loose canons like ant (who has never done anything in any category but keeps commenting on how average low byte products are).

ranking Ã,µ = ( number of thumbs up - number of thumbs down ) / ( number of thumbs up + number of thumbs down + number of piggy votes )

[taj]

ranking = ( number of thumbs up - number of thumbs down ) / ( number of thumbs up + number of thumbs down + number of piggy votes )

Thats how u is claculated but popularity (downloads) also counts in ranking (eg top ten of the month).

s/ranking/Ã,µ

Now I thought that you could boost your popularity by giving your prod a name that would generate lots of search engine hits.. Giving it a porno name for example.
