Votes and engagement
Votes matter, but they are only one signal. We also look at click-through and whether a listing is attracting real interest.

How ServerVote Rankings Work
Rankings are designed to reward useful, trustworthy server listings. We want players to discover strong communities and owners to benefit from improving their page quality over time.
Listing quality
Clear descriptions, tags, banner assets, links, and owner verification make pages more useful and more likely to stay indexed.
Freshness
Recently updated and actively maintained listings receive better placement than stale or abandoned pages.
Trust and abuse prevention
Low-signal imported pages, spammy listings, or manipulative voting patterns may be suppressed or noindexed.
What owners can control
- Claim the listing and keep descriptions, links, and media current.
- Encourage legitimate votes from real community members.
- Use accurate tags so players can find the right server intent.
- Refresh the page when your rules, region, or gameplay changes.
