What’s your real rank?
I have only been blogging for a little over a year now, but I have found the blogging world to be quite fascinating. I have really enjoyed setting up my blogs, advertising them and watching my page rank grow over the last year. That was until this past October when Google decided to play around with all my blogs and strip them from the hard earned page rank that I once had. If you a blogger then you completely understand all the hard work that goes into achieving a high page rank. I only had a couple of 3’s and one 2, but I was proud of these numbers and to lose them because Google decided that some things I do (like paid blogging) didn’t fit into their line of thinking, was quite a difficult pill to swallow.
That’s why I was so happy to see that PayPerPost (one of the companies that I do work for) decided to take matters in their own hands and come up with a unique ranking system of their own. This ranking system is known as Real Rank and it measures your real traffic. Then you are assigned a number in their system as compared to other blogs in their system. The reason why this ranking system is so effective is because they actually collect your stats and the number they come up with are your real traffic numbers. Although this is a fairly new system in the world of blogging, I honestly do think it’s a better measure of a blog’s worth and I am quite sure that it won’t take very long to catch on.
One of the great things about this system is that you don’t have to be a blogger of PayPerPost to find out your real rank numbers. All you need to do is go over to the IZEA site and claim your blog. Then they will collect your data for you and tell you what your real rank is.
