Popweblog - new site for rating blogs
Most probably you all know 45n5’s Top100 list right? It’s a list of Make Money Online blogs based on stats from Alexa, PR and Technorati. How you wanted RSS count to be included in the rating calculation right? But Mark of 45n5 have been rather slow in improving his toplist, and even the updates were taking quite some time lately. (once in 2 weeks?)
PopWeblog Top100
PopWeblog is a new website that does the same thing as 45n5, rating Make Money Online blogs, but with RSS count included in the rating criteria.
It’s a cut-throat competition on the net, you miss something and do not improve the obvious. Someone else will come up with a better service that is better than your service.
While it’s still a new website (popweblog), I see that many of the top bloggers have already subscribed for the list. I think it’s the curiosity of “how will I rank against others with RSS count included” that makes them subscribe to this website.
Rusdy, the author of the website sent me an email about it. And I just had to sign up and see how my blog ranks.
Tip: Therefore, next time you develop a nice service, send an email directly to the bloggers, preferably to the influential bloggers. If your service is really good, I am sure at least 80% of them will use the service, and some will even promote it for free for you on their blogs (like i am doing now).
So check it out popweblog.com

Updates: I’ve haven’t missed a week updating my toplist yet. Also, New blogs are added weekly and dead blogs are dropped. There is always maintenance being done.
Feedcount: Out of almost 300 bloggers less than half publish rss count so that metric is not something to measure by. It’s also the easiest of all of them to game.
Slow to improve?: “Mark of 45n5 have been rather slow in improving his toplist”
I don’t see much to improve ;)
