 Overview
Blog rankings reference the quantitative popularity of existing blogs. Quite simply, a ranking represents how much visitor traffic a given blog receives daily in comparison to other blogs. These rankings can be used to a variety of ends. In the seemingly never-ending expanse of the World Wide Web, readers often require a degree of direction. Blog rankings can categorize blogs according to interests and subject matter, and create subsequent lists indicating general popularity. While there are a variety of ranking websites that currently exist, [|Technorati] offers a series of specific rankings. Although the reader has the option of a search bar at the top of the page, there is also a blog directory organized by category and subcategory, a “top 100” section, a tag index, and a writers index. When I examined [|The Truth Laid Bear’s ecosystem], I encountered a rather different layout. The TTLB blogosphere ecosystem offers a vast web of available blogs, categorizing them strictly by traffic levels. The levels themselves are labeled with distinct titles, the highest of which being “higher beings”, with the lower entitled “insignificant microbes”. Here, each blog rank is a direct link to that particular blog homepage.
