Here’s your “filler” blog rankings for February.
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, but this doesn’t show in score.
I’ve been rushed off my feet, so I haven’t had time to put in the new icons (i.e. other than “Christian”) – I intend to update this post early next week to include them.
All data was downloaded this evening.
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!
