I couldn’t help but notice the reopening of Italy’s primary blog classification service, BlogBabel. Just over a year ago I wrote about BlogBabel:
“While it is worth keeping in mind that BlogBabel’s ranking is just one measure of the importance of a particular blog, Ludo deserves kudos for the transparency in which BlogBabel’s rankings are calculated.”
Since then, the ranking factors have changed a bit. Currently BlogBabel says the following parameters are considered1:
| BlogBabel Ranking Factor | Description | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Google PageRank | The “official” global weight Google assigns to a site. (Its worth noting that this is updated only once every 3-4 months and is not what Google uses internally.) | 1 |
| FeedBurner | Number of feed subscribers for blogs. | 0, thus not considered |
