Top 50 Sports Blogs: 1st Quarter 2008

Posted 3/27/08 - Kellex


Welcome to the first edition of our Top 50 Sports Blog Rankings!

The Sports Dollar's Top 50 Sports Blog Rankings are in and will be released on a quarterly basis with updates accordingly.

The ranking system was based on 4 factors: the blog's BallHype ranking converted into a scale from 1-10 (10 being the highest), the blog's Technorati ranking converted into a scale from 1-10 (10 being the highest), the blog's Google PageRank, and the blog's Alexa ranking converted into a scale from 1-10 (10 being the highest). If two blogs have equal scores, a tie-breaker was decided based on their Technorati authority.

*You may notice a few blogs dropping a little lower than you would have expected. The reason, a lack of a Technorati ranking. This may irritate some, but the fact is that this is a list of blogs and the number one blog ranking machine is Technorati. The Yahoo blogs have also been left off due to a lack of Google PageRank and Technorati ranking. ESPN sites were left on since most have Google PageRanks.

    What? I'm not on the list...that's a disgrace (well, for me at least).

    Alexa.com is a subsidiary of Amazon.com. It is a website which provides information on traffic levels for websites. The Alexa rank is measured according to the amount of users who’ve visited a website with the Alexa toolbar installed. Alexa toolbar is an application developed by Alexa Internet. Its primary use is to measure website statistics. This toolbar collects as well as gives some valuable information. Once you install it, the Alexa toolbar monitors all your surfing and collects information about what domains you visit. They use this data to rank web sites. The traffic rank they assign to websites is based on 3 months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of other users and is a combined measure of page views and users. Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use your blog’s Alexa rank as a gauge to determine the worth of a link on your website. If you depend on link or site selling as a form of monetization you’ll definitely want to increase your Alexa rank, because it’ll increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.
