The times doesn't pay you royalties for your book sales, and it doesn't cost you anything.

Of course they don't pay, but getting on the list is fantastic advertising for your book and that pays.

They also detect if someone is messing with the system and display a dagger symbol if you are found to inflate your numbers.

Jack Rhysider's research on this indicates otherwise.
