Server ranking is influenced by four factors, how popular the map your server is using is, how many players your server gets, the connection strength and if it features a game server login token.
However, if your server does not have a game server login token setup for it, it will be low ranked no matter how popular the map is, how many players your server gets or how good the connection is.
Game Server Login Token Setup
