Gauravonomics on Advertising Age Top Media & Marketing Blogs List
Welcome to Gauravonomics Blog! Subscribe to my combined feed in a feed reader or by e-mail and you'll never miss a single post. Thanks for visiting!
Gauravonomics is now ranked #224 on the Advertising Age Top Media & Marketing Blogs list.
The top five blogs on the list are Seth’s Blog, Online Marketing Blog, ShoeMoney, Micro Persuasion and Search Engine Watch.
The blogs are ranked based on the sum of scores on four factors -
- Google PageRank (0 to 10): Google PageRank is a link-analysis algorithm that interprets web links and assigns a numerical weighting (0 to 10) to each site. High-quality sites receive a higher PageRank. The actual PageRank number was used in the Power 150 ranking algorithm.
- Bloglines Subscribers (1 to 20): Bloglines displays the number of feed subscribers. Subscriber ranges were determined (i.e., more than 20, more than 30, etc.) and each range was assigned a number (1 to 20) that was used in the Power 150 algorithm.
- Technorati Ranking (1 to 30): Technorati ranking analyzes the number of sites pointing to a particular blog. The more link sources referencing your blog, the higher the Technorati ranking. Similar to the Bloglines Subscribers value, Technorati ranking ranges were determined (i.e., top 9,000, top 10,000, top 20,000, etc.) and each range was assigned a number (1 to 30) that was used in the Power 150 algorithm.
- Todd Points (1 to 15): As the only subjective measure in the Power 150 algorithm, 1 to 15 opinion points were assigned to each blog. Todd Andrlik values frequent, relevant, creative and high-quality content. The use of audio, video and graphics is also heavily weighted in the Todd Points.
The other Indian blogs in the list are India PR Blog at #266, Rajesh @ Blogworks at #340, Desi Creative at #451 and The Online Agency Blog at #481.
As I have only re-started blogging last fortnight, after a six month break, my Technorati rank has slipped into the 20000s. I’m making a bet with myself that by December 31, 2007, my Technorati rank will be within the top 10000 and my AdAge rank will be within the top 100. Watch the Technorati and AdAge badges on the sidebar to see how I’m doing on the bet. 
Good going buddy. Keep writing.
I never much cared about Technorati ratings - I think I need to do that to be in the numbers game :). Should I?
Cheers.

Congrats on being the top Indian blog in the list!
Have complete faith that you’ll break into the top 100 by the end of this year if you really want to.
Your tech rank may have slipped, but your feeds haven’t, I’m thinking there’s nothing you cannot do!
Hint, hint: how about reviving the 30 x 30 list??

@Rajesh — I just keep making these silly bets with myself, for fun. Of course, the Technorati or AdAge ranks don’t matter.

Keep writing.
