Real Rank is Better, For Me at Least

Apr.14, 2008 in General with 139 views

Regular readers of this blog know that I do paid posts for payperpost.com and that I lost my Google PR months ago. There have been various posts about why I don’t care about my PR and things of that nature.

Well, today I am posting to let you know about the new system that ranks blogs and I think they way it’s done is a more fair approach of ranking a blog’s popularity. Izea, the company behind payperpost.com and socialspark.com, have come up with Real Rank. Real rank is a system that measures how many unique visitors a blog gets and the weekly pageviews related to said blog.

Why do I think it’s better than PR? There is no buying or selling of Real Rank. A blog could have many visitors per day/week/year, but if they sell links, they get a big fat Google PR ZERO. With Real Rank, if you get that many visits you are ranked accordingly.

This blog has a Real Rank of 2042. In my category of marketing and advertising, that puts me at about #19 out of 57 blogs. I would say that isn’t all that bad. The new Real Rank system is also used in the recently released SocialSpark.com. Basically the Real Rank number qualifies you for posts and the lower the number the more you are going to get paid.

You can get a Real Rank at www.izearanks.com or join up at SocialSpark.com. To get one is free and you can see how you fare in your category. Even if you don’t do paid posts you can still see how your blog ranks.
