What exactly is a "toplist"

[SheepGuy]

I used them a lot way back prior to this century, still use a couple now, Cleo runs a good one. Not great quality traffic, but traffic of any quality is better than no traffic. Most of the ones I've seen lately though have sites with titles that suggest illegal stuff and are basically CJ's, stay away from those. I'd actually use more toplists if I could find ones that are themed and don't allow the crap that is on most of them.
