February Blog Stats

Welcome to another month’s blog rankings.

Alexa = Alexa ranking

NZ ranking = Alexa NZ ranking

Technorati.com authority score (1 if none)

HD Score calculated Alexa*AlexaNZ/Authority/10000. Greens blog multiplied by 80.

All data was downloaded this evening.

Notes:

1. The criteria here are looser than Tumeke! Generally we are more relaxed, and include all blogs that post items interesting to the general public. This is pretty much most things outside of strictly “this is what I did today” style blogs. We also include blogs that are defunct, as many still are read for months after closing.

2. I’ve added a strikethrough to blogs which are defunct after comments from Richard of the 100 Word Blog. This isn’t currently applied to the “can’t calculate” list.

Note: Original Blog list, and original concept from Tumeke, who have a more considered ranking of the NZ blogosphere here. No Hamsters were harmed in the compiling of these statistics, just egos!
