		<description>Yes, the first graph is wrong, I&#039;ve sent a correction to Madeline. The &quot;average&quot; line is actually the &quot;minimum&quot; line - it&#039;s actually on top of it because it accidentally used the same formula.

		<description>I agree Ken

Some styles of blogs/post dont develop much interaction and therefore dont have alot of comments. 

Getting back to the post. I actually think that most of the Christian blogs have excellent content based around a topic that people like debating about. This makes the perfect recipe.

		<description>MacDocter - you seem to rate consistently high in rankings based solely on visit stats (see &lt;a href=&quot;https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=r7QHzRhQHjUaGUuXLMDAkyw&amp;single=true&amp;gid=2&amp;output=html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;blog ranking tool&lt;/a&gt;).

Tumeke is effectively using a mix of visit stats and Alexa ranking. The later is 3 monthly and seems rather irrational. Some people suspect it is easily manipulated.

That&#039;s why I have switched to rankings based just on actual visit stats. Another advantage is that it can be done automatically in displayed in real time. There are currently over 120 on the list - but that is only 20% of the NZ blogs I have identified.

		<description>Can someone explain the graphs to me? What is the max, min, avg and count?

Are the lines good if they are going down with the second graph?

Sorry, maths isn&#039;t my thing.</description>
