Traffic tracking coming along nicely

Just to keep you updated, the traffic tracking component bit of the technoranki project is coming along nicely.

I’ve got a long car journey (as a pasenger) tomorrow, so will have a good chance to plan and prepare the final stuff. With luck I’ll get it written by Sunday.

However, there aren’t really enough people using the tracking code to make it fair for the results to be used in the blog ranks just yet.

For that reason, could I ask people to mention the technoranki project on their blogs? If you could encourage existing BritBlog members to get the code then that will really speed things along! You could link to this post for more information. Once this is going I’m going to open up the project to non-BritBlog members, so that should help smooth the results out too.

Anyway, any help with getting the word out on this would be greatly appreciated :-)

    I like the idea that not many people are using it and that I might be in with a chance of getting in the top 50.
    When the others get here I won’t have a hope.

    Never-the-less, I’ll spread the word.

    Thanks Mr Piggy Bank – I should think a lot of people will find that useful.

    Thanks for clarifying that the old BritBlog chart code is history. I’m in the process of installing the new code and was really surprsied to see I get a Technorati rating of 8. But what does that mean? Is it any good?

    Stephen, yes, it is good! The ranks will all change quite a lot once the traffic is taken into consideration though. Having said that, I seem to recall your blog being quite high in the old (pure traffic based) charts, so you never know – you may go up!

    The algorithm is still quite likely to change too – I think some factors are weighted too highly at the moment, and others are yet to be intoduced into the equation.

    Another thing to remember is that technoranki only has BritBlog blogs listed in the database at the moment, so the results are based on quite a small sample of blogs. When we open it up to the world I think we will see some interesting results!
