So after you claimed your blog on technorati the ranking was different?

I’m in the process of making an app to graph the ‘value’ of a series of blogs over time to see trends of blogs, i.e. becoming more or less relevant… will let you know when its done.

Just plugged it in again now and it came up with roughly $6,200… I think you have to ‘be in it to win it’… e.g. you have to claim you Technorati ranking. Now all I need is a buyer. Any takers? ;-P

-I did the thingy for Public opinion its worth just under $60,000 in contrast, <a href=”http://www.sauer-thompson.com/junforcode<junk for code is only worth around $21,000.

I’ll update it again in a week or so, see what happens with the values.

I have no idea how it works though – is it not just on a Technorati ranking? (Can’t be bothered to read schema) As if your blog is $1700 and The Zeitgeists has a higher ranking surely it would be around the same if not more? :-S

But its a clever marketing ploy to get the rankings (Google, technorati etc counts links in and out, not comments). And that is what Seth does best

I think the best answer I heard was an interview with Mitch Joel at TED 2008. Look it up. =)

@laurelpapworth I know, its bizarre I’ve wondered what that’s all about, he must have some logic behind it, although on the surface it seems against everything he preaches. You know what, I might ask him. Haven’t heard of BlogStocks, maybe you mean blogshares.com?

I used to have that embed on my site ages ago. But I liked one called BlogStocks too – anyone remember that? I think that was the name – you had a stock exchange, claimed your blog then traded in artifacts. About 2005 I think?

Cool tool though, although I only think it’s useful to see if your value goes up or down and nothing more!
