Topsites and Voting - Brings Traffic?

I don't understand what's the purpose of voting for a site. Does voting, bring traffic to the site?

 

With topsites, voting usually moves you higher on the list. The topsite serves a particular niche, therefore users visit that site and sites listed higher (due to more votes) will, generally speaking, recieve more traffic.

 

what kind of vote?

 

Yes, the topsites could get some decent traffic.
Good luck with the rankings

 

i remember that i wrote a voting program.. which could vote like 5000 times, through proxies etc.. I think more people came with the idea, and in the end the topsites were kind of swamped with proxyvoting which is useless traffic.

 

most also give a nice backlink

 

thats true

 

I see thanks for the great posts. I learned a lot.

 

People who value ranking and reputation would like sites in the top spot in the voting event. this represents a niche. and usually a rewarding venture for those who are on top.

 

i get some good traffic from top sites

 

Top sites give you PR and some traffic. My site is part of some good page rank top sites. I am getting PR4 and PR3 backlinks from these sites. so it is also adding to my site's PR

 

Also, some topsites aren't ranked by how many votes, for a lot of them, you move up the list based on how many visitors or unique visitors you get, so high traffic sites get even more traffic
