Blowing Our Own Horn For A Minute
Wikio, an aggregator of online news and blogs, has recently kicked off their own blog rankings. Their "Top Blogs" ranking features a bunch of different categories - including "Sports."
Currently, "WasWatching.com" stands at # 35 in their ranking for all "Sports" blogs.
So how does their Top Blogs ranking work? The position of blogs in their Wikio ranking depends on the number and value of links that other blogs point toward them. The value of these links depends on the ranking of the blog publishing them. So in their algorithm, the value of a link published on a highly ranked blog is more important than a posted link on a blog with a lower ranking.
Here's the "Top 75" of Wikio's "Top Sports Blogs" at the moment:

Thanks Miles! The badge should be up soon, FYI.

That list is missing some really good blogs.
Posted by: Rich at March 7, 2008 03:40 PM
Maybe Rich - but, the ones on it are all really good too, no?
Posted by: Steve Lombardi at March 7, 2008 04:34 PM
Great! We look forward to seeing your badge.
Rich: Wikio is totally open to including as exhaustive a list of the most important sports blogs as possible. You say the Top 75 is missing some really good blogs; please email the missing blog titles to miles@wikio.com if you like. Please bear in mind, the list reflects only blogs, not websites that resemble blogs...
