For the maintainers of chart pages

1. Only pages with updated latest charts are indexed.
2. Page/frame with the actual chart must have unique file name (for example, URL "http://yourhost.com/charts/3-12-97.html" is not valid for our database)
3. It will be very nice if you can use proper title for your chart page/frame (for example, "Dance Top 20 of Radio MyMyMy, Riga, Latvia" instead of "Top 20")
4. You can't find list of chart pages for our database here, but I can mail list of all YOUR pages in this database to you
5. All pages will be deleted from the database if corresponding charts will not be updated at last 2-3 months.
6. Our searcher visits your chart pages from host www.lanet.lv using agent Mozilla/2.0 (compatible; Webinator-egle.lanet.lv/2.12). It will not follow the robots exclusion standard.
