U8UNTU eLXER hits top 30 ZA blogs
Thanks to our readers, U8UNTU eLXER made the top 30 list of South Africa blogs this week as measured by myScoop. Admittedly this is a questionable statistic -- like being one of the top chewing gum practitioners in the world, but making it to number 30 on the sites top 100 blog list in a country which practically worships Ubuntu as the predominant philosophy about the way the world works, really has warmed the cockles of my heart. I am because I ubuntu! Here's to all my fellow compatriots - time to grok the world's number one Linux distro.

Well done on making it to 30th position. However I would like to find out from you why you refer to it as a "questionable statistic"? Do you not trust the rankings or do you not understand how the rankings are calculated?
ReplyDeleteYour input would be great
Thanks

Hi Nick,
ReplyDeleteI take my silly comment back, after checking the way in which your site calculates the stats, I now see they are taken from Alexa, a reputable web metrics engine. Please excuse my ignorance and surprise at finding out I'm in the top 30.
Hey David
ReplyDeleteNo worries :) There are actually 4 different types of ranking statistics.
1) myScoop rank - Calculates how many unique visitors your get compared to the other blogs.
2) Alexa Rank - Fetches your Alexa Ranking and compares it to other blogs
3) User-Engagement Rank - Calculates how many comments your receive per article on average and compares it to other blogs
and
4) Active Rank - Calculates how many articles you write per week on average (since joining myScoop) and comapres it to other blogs
Hope this helps!
Thanks again for registering on myScoop and being part of the experience!
