How does the
site work?
This website works in order to allow surfing related web sites
to add their links and be listed in an organized manner for other surfers
to easily find. When you add your web site to the list, we give you
specific code that we generate for you to place on your website linking
to TopSurfSites.com. Whenever someone clicks on that link at your website,
they are brought to our website and we track that they came from your
website. The higher number of visitors that come from your site, the
higher up on the list you will be displayed.
This is a great way for us to display links because based on the number
of people you send to us, you will receive a higher amount of hits to
your own site from other visitors.
Why did my count reset to zero?
Periodically the counts for each website will reset to zero.
No need to worry. The amount of time between resets could sometimes
vary. It is currently set at every two weeks.
Why isn't my banner showing up?
On the main page, the first 25 sites will have their banner listed.
On individual catagory pages, the first 10 sites will have their banner listed.
This is subject to change in the future, but this is also to create quicker
load times.
What if I do not have a banner?
That's okay! A default banner will be used until you are able
to get one. It is important that you do have a banner though, because
it will attract more visitors to your link. You can login to your account
at any time to change your banner or account details.
Can you make a banner for me?
A banner compliments a website well and is a great way to attract visitors
to your website. We feel every website needs a banner, and would be
happy to create a banner for you and your website. Prices will vary
depending on the site but will all be low prices. So send us an email
and we'll contact you as soon as possible.
What if my website fits more than one
category?
You can either choose the category that best fits your website, or use
a different banner and account for the other part(s) of your website
that you would like to submit. This will allow you more chances of exposure
on our site, but you will also have to keep track of multiple accounts
and links on your site to ours which might spread the visitors you send
to us on those accounts which means you may not be ranked as high as
you could be.
What if I can't get the form to work?
No sweat! Send us an email with the details required on the
form, and we'll add your site for you! But, first double check you are
putting the required http:// before your website URL and/or your banner
URL. Those are the major causes for error. Also, make sure you are filling
out all of the required fields.
Why create this site?
This website was created with a few intentions: We are passionate
about surfing, the ocean, the environment, and increasing awareness
about each. Our main intent is to bring all of these together.
Surfing
There is no secret that surfing is becoming
the fastest growing and most enjoyable sport on the face of the planet.
What other sport can give you a sense of being with the ocean and the
world around you? Surfing brings passion out of us all.
Mother Ocean and the Environment
With the growing popularity of surfing and surfers, it has become our
responsibility to take care of our oceans. They are in danger and need
our help to clean and save them or our precious sport and livelihood
will be in jeopardy. This is the biggest concern and reason for this
website. We hope to make everyone aware of the dangers our oceans and
waves are in and to help people know ways they can help! 10% of all
profits from this site go directly to support the Surfrider Foundation.

Awareness
The ever so fun part of the website! We have created an easy way for
anyone to find great surfing websites that may otherwise be difficult
to find!
