I just installed IZEARanks on this blog today. IZEARanks uses a javascript code to collect information and reports a rank that’s based on actual traffic to your site, and on influence. You can display page views and visitors, or you can choose to only display your Real Rank. You can also choose not to display it, and use your RealRank as a tool for yourself. For me, the widget isn’t working on my site, although it’s displaying perfectly well at IZEARanks.com. I’ve heard of others with the same troubles - maybe a good idea to sort that problem out, IZEA, if you want people to sign up!
At IZEARanks.com, you can compare blogs’ ranking trends, have a look at the top 100 blogs, and read up on IZEARank in the blog. Every week through February, there’s an award of $1000 for the # 1 blog, so get signed up! The next contest entry period ends on the 14th, so you can still be it for this week… (See the site for the official rules, don’t click below - that’s just a screenshot!).
IZEA is connected to Pay Per Post, but the Java code is different from the PPP code, so you apparently needn’t worry about being hit by Google.
Installing it is easy, and you can have the widget (hopefully!) and java code up on your blog in no time.
I like the idea of an alternative ranking system, and I really hope RealRank is here to stay, and that it will become a ranking system to be reckoned with. I don’t know the first thing about the runnings of ranking systems, spiders and ‘bots, but I still want to give a thumbs up to IZEA for introducing something new and hopefully viable. Just get those widgets in order!
