Mark Wielgus of 45n5.com had made a Top100 List of Making Money Online blogs few weeks ago. His list easily became very popular, it was a perfect linkbait. Next thing you know, it is hosting some 200+ blogs in his list.

I do get quite a number of visitors from his list, 413 to be exact, to this day since he launched his toplist.

Visiting his toplist today, I noticed that he had made some changes (improvements) to his toplist. He added a screenshot of each blog beside the blog name.

And he also added few widgets that show your 45n5 rank (3 widgets). Here is one of the widgets (see left) for my blog. While the widget designs could be greatly improved, I think they are great ideas. Unfortunately I don’t think I will be displaying them on this blog, there are too many things on the blog already ;)

45n5 as an independent rank system in the future

I would like to see Mark add more features to his toplist and make it as an independent rank system in the future. Just like LinkWorth’s LinkRank, it could come up with its own ranking system. (45n5 %, maybe?) Which could rank blogs based on their Technorati, PageRank, RSS Subscribers, Compete …etc data.

Who knows maybe it would become one of the reliable ranking systems for both advertisers and bloggers in the future. Since everybody seem to get their PageRanks demoted these days, it will be a lot easier for them to adopt a new system. And it is also a right time for Mark to promote his toplist as an alternative, full fledged ranking system for not only “Make Money Online” blogs but for all blogs in the blogosphere.

What do you think?
