Why am I told I
have already voted today when I try to vote?
1Award web server is based in Germany (GMT + 1hour) The time difference may be causing your problem. If
you vote at approximately the same time each day you shouldn't experience this. If you choose to vote at
different times each day you should be aware of the different time zones.
The time is currently:
17:01 18 May 2024
Internet service providers (ISP) such as AOL and NTL may use proxy servers.
A proxy server allows fast access to web pages for its users by caching pages. Therefore when some users
try to vote they may not be able to if another user is on the same proxy server.
ISP may use a NAT router to provide access to the internet.
This shares 1 IP address amongst a large group of people. We are unable to allow more than one vote from a shared IP address (the second vote appears to come from the same computer as the original vote).
If you share a connection e.g. wireless, Your router which connects to the internet is also a NAT router. This means only one vote per household is allowed because the votes come from the same IP address.
Back To Top
How are votes counted?
Votes are automatically recorded along with your IP address in our database.(See
our privacy policy) If we find irregularities we may
adjust votes accordingly and sites may be removed from bronze, silver or gold award links.
Sites that cause persistent problems may be removed from 1Award. Our decision is final.
We are
aware that no matter what system is in place to make voting fair, there will always be someone who will try
to beat the system. We believe that most people want to acheive a 1Award trophy by voting honestly.

Why have my site's votes been reset to
zero?

new votes count towards this years awards. All previous years votes are stored and counted
