If they get a bad review, the rank is lowered. I think a lot of them 'Advertise With Us' links are for banner ads, not the listing ranks, but chances are a lot of the ones in the video are rank purchases. But if I were to run a site like one of them, I SURE would be having affiliate links, I really don't see how THAT gets them BUSTED. I wouldn't be doing it for free either. I have posted both a <a href="http://www.macbrosplace.com/one-time-charge-for-hosting/" rel="nofollow">Paid Review</a> and a <a href="http://www.macbrosplace.com/web-hosting-follow-up-post/" rel="nofollow">non paid review</a> of my current host. (<em>Which I think you already know about, but maybe your readers might not.</em>) :) Paid or not, my review is true, and as accurate as I think it is. So maybe these host ranking sites aren't what folks should be using. Maybe they should gauge what others are saying about particular hosting companies in their blog posts. Maybe they should use the host company name in a Google search and read the blog posts instead, because we know that most of THEM are written by real people. Need a good host? Then follow <strong><a href="http://affiliates.tophostingcenter.com/click.php?id=macbros&campaign=Comments" rel="nofollow">My Affiliate link for some great Web Hosting services!</a></strong> Yes, an affiliate link G'dammit! :D There is one I do use based on the fact that the rank is generated by the users reviews of the host.
