Right now I am working on setting up multiple ranking algorithm. Also the main benefit of that will be, they will be changed every so often:

To make sure that visitors at Software Devil are presented with quality listings, we use an algorithm, which includes combination of:

Higher the better for following:

• Modification Date (When the listing was last modified, any listing modified within last 90 days get full points)
• User Rating (for ranking purpose, only unique ip's are counted)
• Number of Vote (for ranking purpose, only unique ip's are counted)
• Number of Review
• Review Rating
• Incoming Referrals: In last 180 days (incoming 'unique' hits from your domain (+ link) listed at Software Devil)
• Editors Rating (1 = nothing special. 5 = Awesome)
• Editors Review Note
• Admin Rating (Except Admin and editors, no one can view this. If Admin likes some Software they will generally receive higher rating, in the scale of 1 to 10)
• Admin Spam flag (rating from 1 to 10. All listings have default of 5. 5=default/normal. 1=worst. 10=best. Based on listings performance, this rating will be changed)
• Hits the listing receives
• Screen shots in a listing (number of screenshots matters - if you can't take screenshots, contact us and we might be able to help you)

Here are top 4 points in the order of importance:

• Admin Spam Flag
• Incoming Referrals
• Number of Review
• Modification Date

Here are few points that a listing owner can influence:

• Incoming Referral
• Number of Review
• Review Rating
• Modification Date
• User Rating
• Number of Votes
• Screen shots in a listing
