BestWebDesignAgencies.com Ranks Best ColdFusion Development Firms

BestWebDesignAgencies.com has posted its Rankings of Best ColdFusion Development Firms. Odd thing is how few of the listed companies are ones I've heard of. Does anyone know anything about how these ratings and reviews work?

Comments
Since I'm number 10 on the list, I can give you some input. I was never contacted by anyone at BestWebDesignAgencies.com, and none of the info they have on hotfuzion.com is correct. I don't have any employees, just me. I do mostly agency work, small business, and some non-profits. It is also a part-time thing because I have a full time day gig in marketing and SEO, and limited CF work. I think these guys just googles CF development houses and took the first 10 that showed up. I'm not complaining, though. It might lead to some more work.

Looks like you need to pay them between $500 and $2500 per year to be listed and considered for rankings.

Very interesting. The company in the first place is 2 blocks away from where I live. Such a small world.

The information posted is completely false. We are ranked at #2, #2, and #5 on 3 different lists they produced.

All of the information about Cyber Sprocket Labs is wrong other than our name and location.

They never talked to us nor have they ever contracted us to do a project. Yes, we do software development for hire. We are very good at PHP, Perl, and ASP.Net among others. BUT they have never reviewed our code and thus their ranking system is completely fictional.

I'd like to think we are #2 or even #5 in these categories, maybe even #1, but the point is the rankings are not based on anything other than someone deciding "let's make them #X on our list". They are seeding their own advertising gimmick until they get paid subscriptions.

I was contacted by them and they actually talked to my customers too before they ranked us.
