Hey, it is all about ME, right?
So, if you thik this can measure the impact of your blog on the universe, give a spin of Bloginfluence, where you enter the URL of your blog (that was not 100% obvious on the form), and you need to dig out your Bloglines ID. Let the browser spin a bit, and the slot machines wheels spit out, and the grand resounding impact of CogDogBlog is….
My influence
[14202]
C’mon, you cannot resist, can you? Drop your important work, and feed the ego machine….
A tail wag of credit goes out to Alex Alavais… who has 2000 more influence points!
I happily reside down on the far right of the long tail.
I’d guess something’s not quite right. It’s claiming I’m a 35888, and that’s with Bloglines reporting an error. Still… great… yet another thing to obsessively track 😉
Is higher better or worse? I don’t get this – and it wasn’t obvious where on the site they explained it
The only “documentation” I could see was a description of the algorithm they use. Looks like morer is gooder. But it’s using an arbitrarily weighted formula, so is not really meaningful. They DO provide a link to Firefox + Google Toolbar, so I’m guessing it’s at least partially a link referral adsense racket.
It seems to vary rather wildly. I’m now at 53771, without any explanation for the 20000 increase. Bizarre…
My rating: 303798.5
A bit understated because I could only include on e of my Bloglines feeds. :p
