According to a recent post from Reuters entitled ‘New SL site rankings may signal end to camping’, Linden Labs executive, Jeska Dzwigalski, has acknowledged that the current ranking system is ineffective. “It is clear that the current Traffic system is not an effective means of determining the success or popularity of a parcel, nor does it provide useful information about Residents visiting those parcels.”

Linden is currently exploring other options and models to determine the popularity and success of a parcel. Already developed is a Second Life Showcase, http://secondlife.com/showcase/, featuring some of the more interesting and engaging destinations within Second Life.

Does this change signify an end to camping and bots used by land owners to boost ratings? Some business owners have voiced concern that camping is the primary means of earning Linden for residents, and that without this source of income, less money will be spent in their shops.
