Hosted Tab is not a way to make a server popular, but it does contribute to the ammount of players in a server.
For example, I used to co-own a reasonably popular server, with an average of 80-100 players at a time.
When we weren't on the hosted tab for about 3 weeks, we could see the ammount of players drop to an average of 30-40 players at a time. The reason wasn't because those other players were the "play for 5 minute and go to the next server" type, but the reason is that the internet list is hardly looked at. (And because they are too empty-headed to add servers to their favourites)
Most of the SA-MP players just automaticly open the hosted tab and look for servers to play on there.
