Blogged.com Rebuilds

July 3, 2008 by Andrew G.R.

Promising to help you ‘find better blogs’ is Blogged.com. The directory site has just launched some new features and improvements. Most notably, they do a better job of highlighting interesting blogs over several niches. The goal appears to aggregate news and information that is well-written, though not necessarily accessible through mainstream media.

Among some of the content currently on the homepage:

Everything I Learned About Personal Finance I Learned From WALL-E

White Collar Steroids

5 Terrible Life Lessons Hollywood Loves to Teach You

Sure, you could visit Digg or any other wisdom of crowds Website, but the new Blogged design is highly readable with content being hand-picked by a team of editors.

Submit your blog here.

Blogged.com new blog directory officially launches

February 25, 2008 by Andy Merrett

A(nother) new blog directory has officially launched today. Blogged.com offers ratings and reviews of the blogs in its directory, apparently based upon the quality of writing and how often the site is updated.

Blogs are initially reviewed by the Blogged.com “team”, but if enough visitors rank and review the blog, then that takes precedence.

Additionally, there’s a social networking element to the site, whereby visitors can bookmark and share blogs, and provide feedback. Blog owners can place a widget on their site and encourage their readers to vote. As usual, the whole thing relies upon links and traffic, so the widget is hardly a surprise introduction.

The site currently claims around 200,000 blogs indexed, though a great many of these don’t appear to have been reviewed yet, which (depending on the size of the team) is understandable.

I noticed that several of my own blogs were already included in the directory, without me submitting them. Interestingly, one was using a very outdated URL which forwards to the new domain name (I kept the forwarding in place when I moved to a dedicated domain over two years ago). Also, the RSS feeds don’t seem to update very frequently — one of my blogs still shows the latest entry from five days ago.

Additionally, my site about families and relationships is — according to Blogged.com at least — related to a couple of gambling sites plus the interestingly-titled “Webster’s Is My Bitch” blog. It would be interesting to find out a little more about how the ranking and related algorithms work — if the “Related Posts” plugin on my WordPress blog acted like that I’d give it the boot!

Will Blogged.com succeed? Will it get the advertising revenue it (presumably) needs to survive? Does the world need another blog ratings directory? Like many new sites, it has potential, but where will it be six months down the line?

For what it’s worth, Blogged.com is currently ranked around 122,000 in Alexa, and on the up, so it could do well. What do you think?

Archiving Blogs and the Blogosphere

December 3, 2007 by Anne Helmond

As blogs are becoming a more mature medium, research into the history of blogs becomes even more relevant. Earlier this year an article by the Wall Street Journal celebrated the 10th anniversary of blogs with Jorn Barger’s Robot Wisdom as of December 23, 1997. Not only was the author of the article accused of getting the history wrong and re-writing history it also heated up the debate on what the first blog was. (Note: the site is not up anymore, but here’s a useful resource.)

As Rex Hammock points out there is no single history of blogs and argues that “everyone should write their own version of the history of blogging.” As blogging is a practice that has shaped itself over time it is nearly impossible to point to one single blog as “the first blog” in retrospect. Blogs evolved out of a practice that is still developing and shaping itself. The debate surrounding the article also showed how poorly the blogosphere is archived and how difficult it is to conduct research on the history of blogs.

As much as the blogosphere is focused on time, the web is oblivious to time.

EatonWeb to Phase Out PageRank in its Metrics Computation

November 16, 2007 by J. Angelo Racoma

Google’s latest PageRank update caused a ruckus in the blogosphere because many high profile or popular blogs have had significant drops in ranking. While experts will tell you that PageRank is not the end-all and be-all of blogging, it still is a big factor, especially when it comes to marketing and advertising. This means advertisers still look for sites with good PR juice, and ad placement rates are still PR-dependent in many cases.

However, there are other metrics by which you can determine how good a blog is performing. Earlier this year, Splashpress Media relaunched the EatonWeb Blog directory and introduced the momentum metric.

Now, EatonWeb is radically changing the way it values blogs’ performance by devaluing the role of Google PageRank from its own algorithm, mostly because of how Google manually penalized sites in the recent PR update.

Google has been systematically introducing the equivalent of theoretical epicycles to its display of PageRank to the public, and we think it’s about time to face the facts. You can’t manually penalize hundreds of influential sites and expect to be used as a reliable source of information any longer.

In fact, we believe that PageRank epicycles are chinks in the Google armor and that Google needs to make a major strategical decision going forward to preserve its influence in the webmaster community. And in the end, it’s going to come down to whether Google can accurately determine the value of each independent link, buffering the outflow of poor quality links, rather than inaccurately painting an artificially depressed picture of site authority.

Google PageRank is no longer considered a reliable indicator of importance in the blogosphere. In this light, EatonWeb is not necessarily taking PR completely out of its measurement, but only devaluing the weight of PR in the EatonWeb metrics.

The EatonWeb directory measures blog peformance using over a dozen individual metrics from a variety of sources. The EatonWeb momentum metric gives a measure of relative growth over time at any given point. The overall metric, meanwhile, is the result of combining the strength and momentum metrics, and shows a blog’s overall quality. This is considered the best means of valuing a blog taking into consideration both age and growth in one measurement.

Splashpress Media Acquires Blog Search Engine

September 1, 2007 by J. Angelo Racoma

Splashpress Media has recently acquired yet another blog-related new media property: Blog Search Engine. Originally owned by Loren Baker of Search Engine Journal, the deal was done for an undisclosed amount via private bidding.

Blog Search Engine is described as “a living and breathing search engine of blogs which brings you posts from over 10,000,000 blogs in our IceRocket powered search results.” Relevant results are listed in reverse chronological order–blog style.

Splashpress Media plans to overhaul Blog Search Engine with the help of design guru Thord Daniel Hedengren, who has done several other designs for the network’s various blogs and portals. The site will then be re-launched as a service that will compliment the EatonWeb Blog Directory.
