Using the component will have a tremendous effect on your ranking, every time your homepage elsewhere is visited, no matter whether you're online or offline counts as a 'click', and you receive a bunch of credits and the page that 'brought' the link (your homepage) will be featured at the bottom of the index page. If you want you can place your webcam on your own homepage elsewhere, make sure your 'homepage url' in your profile is filled in and place the following code on your webpage: <IFRAME scrolling='no' frameborder='0' width=320 height=240 src='http://.webcamplanet.com/component.html'> </IFRAME> When your cam is 'offline' the component will display a small version (4x3) of the webcamplanet index (which is also how it shows up if you try to view it right now because it's embedded in the 'wrong' page, you have to copy the html to your own page, and set your homepage in your profile for it to work properly). Before you cheat: trying to abuse the system using 'clever' tricks like zero sized frames or other trickery to rack up credits is an excellent way to get booted off the system :)
