Hello World!

Aussie Blog Resources

« on: December 20, 2007, 01:10:48 PM »

Thought I'd start a list of Australia specific blog resources.

It's probably a good idea to make sure your blog is listed in the following directories/search.

Australian Blog Search
Australian Blogs
Australian Blogs Community on BUMPzee
Gnoos
The Australian Index

(Of course there are some global ones to - these are just the oz ones)

"Top" Lists

Top 100 Australian Blogs
Top 50 Australian Women's Blogs
Ratified

For those who have smaller blogs that don't make it into those "top lists", or those who are new to blogging, is there anywhere that can give them an indication of where they stand relative to other Australian bloggers? Or is this something that has to be calculated manually?

Hi Lightening

Probably a manual calc is the only way, although you can list your blog with ratified & it will give you a ranking provided you have claimed your blog on Technorati.

Their formula is

Score = (t x .55) + (PRx100) + (f.b x 3.75) .

where t= number of unique blogs linking ("authority") PR is Google PageRank & f.b is the number of feed burner subscribers.

For more info see http://australialiving.blogspot.com/2007/08/getting-to-know-ratified.html and http://blogpond.com.au/2007/08/22/another-top-100-australian-bloggers-list/ for more info about Ratified.

********************

Blogpond formula is (3 x AU + X + T) /5. where:

AU = Alexa Rank in Australia
X = Global Alexa Rank
T = Technorati Rank

See http://blogpond.com.au/about-the-index/ for more info

******************

All for Women formula is

(AU + T)/2

See http://www.allforwomen.com.au/top-50-australian-womens-blogs/ (at the bottom) for more info.
