I recently checked the main LBP.ME page and discovered I had taken the 4 (later 6th) spot in the trending levels (http://lbp.me/search?t=trending). How.....?! I sometimes see some odd levels there, but they generally tend to be very popular. What I want to know is what factors influence what makes a level 'trending'. Is it just someone spamming the refresh button on the page (in which case, thanks to whoever you are, lol ), or is it more advanced? I noticed one of the connections made when loading a level page is '...webtrends...', so I'm leaning towards it being based on number of views. Also, is there any time limit to appearing there. Some older levels are only a few places down.

I don't think there has been any official information on it, but it must have something to do with lbp.me page views and/or queuing. Possibly they got a standard package for web visitor trends installed, in which case they might not even know exactly how the ranking is calculated themselves.

I'm sure if they released the exact algorithm on how this is calculated that it would be quickly abused. Maybe we should test it out by having a newly published level be reloaded over and over by refreshing the page on LBP.me?

Yes, testing would be a good idea; however, if the method became known to the general public, it would be heavily abused, so if tests are done, they should be kept private. Anyway, I always though it was different users queuing it.

Any test involving more than two or three people would almost certainly become public knowledge. Personally, I think it'd be better to let this one lie and just assume it works well enough without us knowing exactly how.

I'm fairly certain I found out how to improve your rank, but like written above, prob best not to say anything about it.
