''Using hashtags allows you to conveniently describe the specific reason for a rating. For instance, if you are rating a site which you believe falls under the “scam” category, in your comment you can use a hashtag to describe the type of scam...'' read the introductory [https://www.mywot.com/blog/468-introducing-hashtags Blog post]. 
Join in the forum discussion: [https://www.mywot.com/forum/44100-hashtags Hashtags].

To include a hashtag into a comment, simply start with the number sign: ''#'' 
followed by your descriptive tag.

To include multiple #hashtags leave a space between them:
<blockquote>#hash1 #hash2</blockquote>

Or more preferably, place them on separate lines.
<blockquote>#hash1 
#hash2</blockquote>

When a hashtag exists in a comment, it is automatically linked as a search function that when clicked will display all results for that tag.

Verify your website

2016-02-06T08:56:22Z

C۞g:

{{RightTOC}}
You must [https://www.mywot.com/user/register register an account] to associate your website(s) with WOT.

==Claim your site ==

Go to your user [https://www.mywot.com/user/ profile].

Click on the ''My Sites'' menu tab.

Enter your site's domain name in the text input box. Click '''Add'''.
You should now see that WOT added the domain to ''your sites'' list.

; ''Subdomains''
: Please do not claim and verify subdomains if you are the owner of the root (parent) domain. Subdomains [[Rating_subdomains|inherit]] the root domain's reputation.

== Verify ==
WOT verification creates a unique string to use to claim your domain. This string can be in the form of a META Tag, a Keyword, or an HTML file.

Since the string is unique to the domain, if you are adding and verifying multiple domains, you'll need to complete this process for each. You cannot use 1 verification code for more than 1 domain.

Click on the '''[verify]''' link.
You will be presented with a drop-down select menu with the following two choices:
=== HTTP ===
==== HTML file ====
# Download the '''.html file''' and upload it to http://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM. Do '''not''' edit the filename or contents.
# Make sure that you can view http://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/mywot_uploaded_file.html in your browser '''before''' verifying your site.
# Once the file is viewable, return to your profile and click the '''Verify''' submit button.
<blockquote>''Note'': If our servers cannot access the verification file, the problem is usually due to an incorrectly configured web server on the other end. Sometimes web servers refuse to serve clients who don't send some specific headers in the request, for example. Please send us a [http://www.mywot.com/support/feedback/general support request] and we'll see why it is failing for your site.</blockquote>
This choice requires having FTP access.

==== Meta tag ====
# Copy the generated meta tag, and paste it into your site's home page. It should go in the <head> section, before the first <body> section. <code><meta name="wot-verification" content="mywot_generated_code"/></code>
# Return to your profile and click the '''Verify''' submit button.

You can use your CMS control panel to edit your page and insert the META tag or you can FTP your modified page.

==== Keyword ====
If you cannot place a new meta tag in your home page, add the generated (alphanumeric) ''WOT_keyword'' to the end of your list of keywords.
<pre><meta name="keyword" content="keyword,keyword,WOT_keyword" /></pre>
Remember to separate keywords with a comma adding no space for valid formatting.
reference: [http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.4.4.3W3C:Meta data profiles]

'''Note:'''
The HTML file name or the META tag / Keyword content will change if
you login using a different account or if
you delete the site from ''My Sites'' before verifying it.

=== HTTPS ===
Domains must be manually verified by WOT Staff
* email: support@mywot.com

== Site has been verified ==
After you have verified your site with WOT, you may remove the META tag, generated Keyword, or the uploaded HTML file.

== Website description ==

By default, WOT incorporates the Meta Description on the domain's scorecard.
<pre><meta name="description" content="website description" /></pre>

This description can be changed on the Scorecard if the site is verified.
# Open the ''My Sites'' page in your profile
# Click ''Edit'' in the options column of your verified site
# Enter the new description in the text input block
# Click ''Save''

== Free hosts ==
You can claim a site as yours as long as the site is either a domain name
* example.com
Or the site is a subdomain
* my_site.example.com
and you can either include the Meta Tag or generated Keyword into the header of the (generated) index page, or FTP the HTML file.

If your site is contained within a URL, you cannot add it to your ''My Sites''.

WOT does not rate URL's.

=== Blogger ===

# Copy the generated META tag information from your Profile > My sites > Verify
# Sign in to your Control Panel
# Click more -> Manage Site

# Login to your site and go to the dashboard.
:: Once in the Dashboard go to 'Appearance > Editor'
:: In the editor screen make sure your current theme is selected, and find the file 'header.php', click to open.
# Open a new tab or window and go to your WOT profile, then 'My Sites', click on 'Verify', where it says 'Authentication method:' select 'Meta Tag' and copy the code displayed.
# Switch back to your WordPress Tab/Window, and look for the following code: </head> just before that code, paste the WOT meta tag you copied, then click on 'Update File'.
# Once the file is updated, switch back to your WOT Tab/Window and click 'Verify'

== MediaWiki ==
[http://www.mywot.com/forum/32072-claiming-a-wiki Claim a wiki]
<blockquote>This is a forum discussion which references a few MediaWiki extensions as possible alternatives in creating HTML meta tags. These have not been tested and are not official MediaWiki hacks. If anyone has successfully used one of these extensions to verify their wiki in their WOT user profile, please reply to the forum discussion.</blockquote>

C۞g: Undo revision 16881 by Duty Free Online Ukraine shop (talk)

My only method of contact concerning WOT is through the forum messaging system user board, aka: personal message (PM). 
I do not communicate via:
* email
* AIM
* Yahoo! Messenger
* ICQ
* Skype
* Twitter
* etc.

If you have a question concerning my wiki contributions, send me a PM via the forum: [https://www.mywot.com/user/123741 c۞g]
* Include the article URL in non-linked form, change the http to hXXp
* a citation of the article if applicable use bbCode cite tag to separate the citation from your own text
<blockquote>
Example:

Activity scores

2015-05-31T14:57:03Z

C۞g:

Users are rewarded activity points for rating websites and writing comments. All users have an activity score, which is visible on the <strike>add-on's rating window</strike> and profile pages.

'''Note''': 
The activity score has nothing to do with an individual's [[Rating reliability|rating reliability]].

== Earning activity points ==
You receive activity points every time you rate a website you haven't rated before. If you are a registered user, you will also receive further points from the following activities:
* Leaving comments on website scorecards
* Posting on the WOT website (forum, blog, poll etc.)

Please notice that the activity score won't update immediately after the activity, it's updated only '''once a day'''.

== User levels ==

=== Rank and activity score ===

Registered users are grouped in different ranks based on their activity score. These ranks are visible on the profile and as a border with a distinct color around their avatar elsewhere on the website. The current user levels and the activity point range for each are:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 50px;"
|-
! style="padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" | Activity score
! style="padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" | User level
! style="padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" | Color
! style="padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" | Extra features
|-
| colspan="4" style="border-bottom: 1px solid gray" |
|-
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | 10,000
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | Platinum
| style="text-align: center; color: #CDD6DE" | ▉
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | [[Mass rating tool]]
|-
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | 6000-9999
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | Gold
| style="text-align: center; color: #D0BD85" | ▉
|
|-
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | 3000-5999
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | Silver
| style="text-align: center; color: #BFBFBF" | ▉
|
|-
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | 1500-2999
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | Bronze
| style="text-align: center; color: #E7B695" | ▉
|
|-
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | 0-1499
| style="padding-left: 5px;" | Rookie
| style="text-align: center; color: #6DCFF6" | ▉
|
|}

The scoring system uses a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale logarithmic scale], which means the more points you have, the more difficult it will be to increase your score.

=== Activity score-related changes ===

Effective 04 January, 2013, the [http://www.mywot.com/forum/22354-mass-rating-tool?comment=179432#comment-179432 activity score has been capped at 10,000 points]. There is no higher score achievable.

Also, the [http://www.mywot.com/community Community page] had displayed an ''active users list'' denoting top 100 users based on points achieved; this list has been removed.

Both actions have been taken to help curb plausible abuse of the [[Mass rating tool]].

== Extra features ==
Users may be granted access to the [[mass rating tool]] after reaching the Platinum level, assuming that their activity is not suspicious. This allows you to rate up to 100 sites at the same time, leaving each site the same rating and comment, and is useful when rating a large number of sites with the same owner, for example. You should always act ''responsibly'' when using the mass rating tool. Using it is a privilege, which will be taken away from users suspected of spamming.

Note: All Gold Level Members before the [http://www.mywot.com/blog/216-mass-rating-tool-changes-to-platinum-users mass rating tool update] '''will continue to have access''' to the tool.

Synchronize

2015-05-30T14:32:02Z

C۞g:

{{RightTOC}}
You can synchronize the WOT add-on for multiple browsers on multiple computers.

== How to Synchronize ==
[[File:Profile_Synchronize.png|thumb|right|Profile: Synchronize browser]]
1) Login to your account. 
2) Go to your profile page. 
3) Click on the "''Synchronize''" menu tab. 
<blockquote>Synchronize your profile
 
You are accessing WOT via a different Web browser than before. If you would like, we can import your existing preferences to this browser and automatically sign you in when you access your account in future.
 
'''If you are using a public computer, do not synchronize your profile.''' Click "''Don't synchronize''" below to protect your privacy and return to your account page.</blockquote>
Note: If the tab is not available, your account is already synchronized for that computer and browser. You will need to check your account profile for the Synchronize link for each browser on each computer.

== Advantages of synchronizing ==
* WOT tallies your ratings and comments from all browser configurations which add to your account's [[Activity score]].
* WOT will override Warnings on all browsers / computers for sites that you have rated high though they may have an overall poor reputation

=== Automatic Login to WOT ===
1) Go to your profile page, scroll down and click ''Edit profile''. 
2) Look for the Privacy Settings box. 
3) Check the option: "''Allow the add-on to log me in automatically''". 
Note: If there is no check mark, click on it to "set" it. 
4) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click ''Submit'' to save changes. 

== Removing Synchronization ==
This must be done per browser, per computer that you had opted to synchronize. 
Inspiration for this procedure is credited to this forum thread: [https://www.mywot.com/forum/7891-how-do-i-un-synchronize-a-computer How do I un-synchronize a computer?]
<blockquote>'''Attention!''' 
This also resets ''Automatic Login'', so if you desire WOT to log you in on browser startup, you will need to go to your [http://www.mywot.com/user/ profile] select '''Edit Profile''' and check the box that says "''Allow the add-on to log me in automatically.''" scroll down and click '''Submit''' to apply changes.</blockquote>

=== Internet Explorer ===
For each computer that you use with the Internet Explorer browser, you must manually remove synchronization.
This requires use of RegEdit.

Privacy Policy

2015-01-21T21:39:15Z

C۞g:

==Privacy policy==
A privacy policy is a statement of how and why your company/ website collects [[Personally Identifiable Information (PII)]], what it does with it, what choices the consumer has about how it is used, whether the consumer can access the information, and what you do to assure that the information is secure.

Other privacy concerns that a privacy policy should address are the use of [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/HTTP_cookie cookies] and [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Web_bug web bugs], if any.

For a more detailed explanation on what a privacy policy is and possible legalities requiring you to have a privacy policy on your website, please refer to this [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Privacy_policy Wikipedia article]. For help in creating your own privacy policy, the [http://www.oecd.org/sti/interneteconomy/informationsecurityandprivacy.htm OECD information security and privacy website] has good advice. There is also a [[How_To_Privacy_Policy| WOT Privacy Policy how-to]] that offers help in creating your own privacy policy.

===Free privacy policy generator===
[http://www.generateprivacypolicy.com/ Generate Privacy Policy]: "You may create professional privacy policies with our user friendly tools. Privacy policy agreements are tailored specifically for your website, your business and your requirements."

==Cookie policy==
A cookie policy is usually part of the privacy policy. It is addressed within its own section (normally a paragraph) which states what type of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie cookies] are used: session or persistent.

Your site should offer as few cookies as possible, preferably none. More widgets, advertising, and other third-party intervention causes your site to drop more cookies on your visitor's computer. When you do use scripts, or browser bars, or social networking link "buttons", etc you should address this use in your cookie policy and offer explicit links to the other privacy policies available on these outside sources.

When using third-party advertising such as Google or DoubleClick, reference their usage and include the appropriate links. Google is just one example of many advertising sites.

* [https://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=2839090 DoubleClick cookies]
* [https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=100557 Google Adsense]
* [https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/ Google Advertising and Privacy]

===Tracking===
A cookie policy should also mention whether the site uses any third-party trackers: Google Analytics and Quantserve are two popular ones. Tracking may also be done by using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_beacons web beacons], e.g. web bug, tracking bug, tracking pixel, pixel tag, 1×1 gif, clear gif. This should be explicitly mentioned in your privacy policy if your site uses this technology.

[https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html Google Analytics Terms of Service, Section 7], Privacy:
<blockquote>You will not (and will not allow any third party to) use the Service to track, collect or upload any data that personally identifies an individual (such as a name, email address or billing information), or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information by Google. You will have and abide by an appropriate Privacy Policy and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to the collection of information from Visitors. You must post a Privacy Policy and that Privacy Policy must provide notice of Your use of cookies that are used to collect traffic data, and You must not circumvent any privacy features (e.g., an opt-out) that are part of the Service.</blockquote>

===Local shared object (LSO)===
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Shared_Object Local shared objects (LSO)] are also referred to as "zombie" or "super" cookies. They are part of Adobe Flash. Quoting from Adobe:
<blockquote>Local shared objects, sometimes referred to as "Flash cookies," are data files that can be created on your computer by the sites you visit. Shared objects are most often used to enhance your web-browsing experience. A website can write a cookie on your computer, and the next time you visit it will load that cookie and its information in a way that provides a more customized experience. For example, you may have asked a site to remember your login name. That information is stored in the cookie and retrieved on your next visit so that the website displays your name in the login field on the site.</blockquote>
The interesting thing about LSO's are that when you delete your cookie cache, the LSO is able to rewrite the cookie. This causes the LSO to be used not only for tracking, but for spyware as well. The only time your site should use Adobe Flash LSO's are when you have created Flash files (.SWF / .FLV) to share with your visitors and these local stored objects should not be abused with the intent on spying upon your site visitors.

A little more information may be found on [[local shared object|local shared object]].

==EU legislation on cookies==
EUROPA websites must follow the Commission's guidelines on [http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/data_protection/index_en.htm privacy and data protection] and inform users that cookies are not being used to gather information unnecessarily.

The [http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32002L0058:EN:HTML ePrivacy directive] – more specifically Article 5(3) – requires prior informed consent for storage of or access to information stored on a user's terminal equipment. In other words, you must ask users if they agree to most cookies and similar technologies (e.g. web beacons, Flash cookies, etc.) before the site starts to use them.

For consent to be valid, it must be informed, specific, freely given and must constitute a real indication of the individual's wishes.

==COPPA==
''Children's Online Privacy Protection Act''

Sites hosted within the USA, or on US servers (when whois registration is private) must adhere to COPPA. COPPA should also be referenced within your site's privacy policy. The FTC specifically says that websites that are collecting information from children under the age of thirteen are required to comply with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

===International scope===
COPPA is United States law, however, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has made it clear that the requirements of COPPA will apply to foreign-operated web sites (referred to as operators) if such sites "are directed to children in the U.S. or knowingly collect information from children in the U.S." per the [http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/privacyinitiatives/childrens.html FTC Privacy Initiatives]. For additional information about COPPA, see the following references:
