Here's something humbling …
Yesterday, Avi posted a list of the top 15 web analytics weblogs according to Technorati in which my weblog, for some reason, didn’t appear. I believe it was because I hadn’t claimed my blog on Technorati; I have my weblog pretty well tagged up and the weblog makes up the most significant portion of traffic to my site. Still, Avinash got me thinking and so I poked around a bit at what Technorati had to offer.
Kinda neat stuff, really.
Technorati is offering information on links in, links out, traffic history (via Alexa) and posts-per-day. Kind of a nice mash-up of parsed links and otherwise available resources to put together a nice little blurb about any weblog or blogger.
The humbling part is, of course, that I only rank #9 on the list according to Technorari. Perhaps the message is, and clearly Occam’s Razor highlights this, content is king baby. Content is king. I’ll admit to having been a wee lax of late with my blogging, especially when compared to folks like Avinash and Matt Jacobs who are truly giving all of us something to think about. I was going to add Clint to this list but his post today about Kathy Griffin threw me …
So I was a proto-slacker until I posted? ;~) I had the same feeling. Of course, Avinash’s post has alerted the competitor in me and I’m trying to keep him down but I haven’t been totally successful.
Interesting tidbit – I’ve started my first 100 Days analysis and for some weird reason, I post on Tuesdays more than any other day of the week. What’s that all about?

Clint, yeah a proto-slacker for sure. I was just glad to see that Avinash admitted that the level of posting he’s managing is keeping him from seeing Jon Stewart. I often feel bad about the lack of posting and responding to posting that I do but between the job, selling books, the family and oh yeah, trying to have a life sometimes the old blog gets left by the wayside.
Fortunately now I have been working with a totally new application to measure weblog activity and I hope to do my own blog traffic analysis report in the near future here. Who knows, maybe I’ll figure out why you post more on Tuesdays.
Is hockey over?
Thanks for the comment!
