Eg. from Tumuke

MandM = 336
New Zealand Conservative = 303
Say Hello to my Little Friend = 247
Something should go here, maybe later = 234

MandM have 2 bloggers,
NZ conservative have 6

Results would be

MandM = 336 / √2 = 238
New Zealand Conservative = 303 / √6 = 123
Say Hello to my Little Friend = 247 / 1 = 247
Something should go here, maybe later = 234 / 1 = 234

I guess that one could argue that blog access is what it is irrespective of the number of bloggers. But then one is always going to favour communal effort and blog aggregators such as Theology Geek. Not to mention that comments may be bloggers on fellow bloggers posts.

I have, in the past, included a ranking for RSS feeds. I currently don’t have the skill to automatically capture Google Reader and Bloglines subscriptions although I am sure it’s possible – maybe sometime in the future I might learn how to sue scripting to do this. This would also enable me to automatically capture google analytics data. however, one still must respect the wishes of individual blogger about their stats.

If more bloggers stats were openly available then you’d really be onto something with it.

That said a lot of blogs are read via feed readers so unique hits miss their traffic.

But at least it does deal with real stats (ranking average visits/day in the last 7 days). There just seem to be so many problems with systems like Alexa and Technorati (just try comparing them with actual visit stats – the correlations are not goood) that I have given up on using those.

Besides which, this automatic system is so much easier.

By the way Jonny, you are on that ranking – your stats are public.

I wish more bloggers did this.

I think our system of averaging both rankings is probably the closest as both systems have their flaws.

HalfDone’s does not factor unique hits.
Tumeke’s gives prolific posting equal weight to unique hits – blogs with multiple authors or bloggers with no lives are going to outdo those with single authors whose content is superior and better read.
Open Parachute’s stats (in an attempt to pre-empt Ken) does not feature KiwiBlog or a few other key blogs so its most obvious flaw is its incompleteness.

Which, in your opinion M… or M… or, both, is the better system of interpretation?

I have just realised that you are doing Sept., as I looked at HalfDone’s, but I have been looking at Oct., as I jumped up from 99… Maxwell Smart!

No need to applause!

Anti-Abortion Quotations for You to Ponder On!

We use their Tumeke scores for the top 10, which both have made this month becuase they are openly Christian on HalfDone’s rankings. If either blog wants to make this report they know what to do…
