In search, some listing get extra icons for "current population: active". How is it achieved?

[Mairead Fitzgerald]

I have been checking search "everything" for Christmas and see a parcel with less trafficc than mine, with an avrage of 7 to 10 people present when I check the map.  On my sim, there has been 12 to 20 during the same searches and my parcel has not achieved the icons.

Is there some criteria I am missing?  What is the formula for achieving ACTIVE population on a parcel?

 

TIA! :)

That's a closely guarded secret, held deep in the inner vaults of Linden Lab.  Many people suspect that LL changes the formula periodically, just to keep residents off guard.  On a less flippant note ..... LL does not share that invitation because WAY too many people have tried to use it to game the system and improve their own rankings.  Who knows?  You might be tempted to do it yourself if you knew the formula .....
