« Clicky API is out of beta | Main | Top 100 Feedburner sites on my Blog List »
Blog Research is online!

Since I don’t have 10000s of readers, I think I can safely post about it.
If you head to beta.nafurai.com you’ll see my (pre)alpha version of it.
I know, the site is called Beta, but the reason is that I haven’t found a Alpha banner generator :-)
You can browse between tags to see if you can find your own sites, but unfortunately you can’t search yet. The sites aren’t ordered yet. I still have to add some sort of classification. The first thing I’ll do is to use feedburner’s stats to classify sites that use it (and leave it open to read).
I’m just wondering how to calculate the rankings when I have to mix up other sites’ stats. If you have :
SiteA.com Alexa:100,000 Technorati 200,000
SiteB.com Alexa:50,000 Technorati:300,000
Which site is better? How does I calculate it? Every point of Alexa is worth 2 Technorati’s points? What happens if I add Pagerank (which works upside down (1 is worse than 6))?
I surely have to do lots of tests and find out how to get the PR/Technorati/Alexa rank of 300.000 sites in less than a day. I will probably have to use the same trick I wrote for Alexa some time ago. I can’t use API’s because they give only 500-1000 queries per day. I should probably ask users to post their key. I wonder if it’s against TOSses.
Anyway give a look at it and feel free to leave comments. Remember that it’s just an alpha version and it will change often.
PS. If you can’t find your site, send me a comment with your url and I’ll add it. Actually if you have a long list of interesting blogs, feel free to send me the whole list. I still need at least another couple of million sites before looking professional :-)
