BlogPulse Profiles Beta

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

I followed a pointer from Randy Charles Morin at RSS Blog to the new BlogPulse Profiles Beta. See the entry Get Real profile. I was hoping that they were taking the opposite tack to Technorati ranking, but it looks much the same:

796 ( 81 citations from 59 source(s) in past 30 days ) Post Frequency 17 per week

They both use the same approach, which is what I am calling the "Hit Parade" approach, as opposed to a longtail, cumulative approach. The latter, I think, is a better indicator of authority.

Much agreed. Although BlogPulse does a better job of tracking recent citations, we must all now realize that blogs are here to stay and that a long term approach rather than a "who's cool this week" approach is far superior.
