Tshirt blog chart

Oh, and a note to teeco PRs. If you are going to hassle a blogger to give you coverage hassle these guys! If the teeco chart matters to you anyway.

   And no - it didn’t occur to us to cheat to make us appear better than we are. Position 26 ain’t that bad!

   Haha, I rank #5! That’s not bad…not bad at all…

   I guess that’s what happens when you write 8 posts a day for a couple of months!

   Love these charts! Such a great tool, thanks for putting all the work into this! It made my day seeing iamthetrend.com at #31! Hope to keep rising!

   I’m surprised Fantastic Blognanza is still at #7, what with the rarity of posts since I resigned. HYA is my personal #1, too.

   Hi Tim - I feel your pain - on your search OMGTees is 9th, way worse than our score on this months chart.
   I’ll write up a post with more detail on how the chart works soon - but the main reason for this is that the chart is more dependent on the last months worth of activity. It doesn’t care if you have link juice from boingboing - unless you made the boingboing homepage in the last month.
   This makes it more fun, I think, because it shows you who did good job recently.
   Also, it’s a bit more gameable with link exchanges and all that stuff. But only in the short term. Hey - we have less coders than google! That stuff costs a lot of time.

    Actually - OMGTees seems to jump between 9th and 17th as I repeat that search. Assaultblog jumps about from 12th to 16th. Very odd.

    Hey Steve, nice work. But I don’t know if you serious with this chart, I mean do you even visit each of them?

    My blog, T-shirt Island (tshirtisland.blogspot.com) had changed address to Cottonable.com.

    second, you also include (literally) dead blog like: Indie Threads, Threadlesswatch.Wordpress, and Death-by-Tshirt — which rank higher above some active blogs.

12. Steve OMG on February 1st, 2009 12:00 am

    Hi Rangga

    We argued about this here actually. There is a pool of links to t-shirt island (and other ‘dead’ blogs) out there which feature in our ranking algorithm. Now - do we roll that into the cottonable.com score? Do we ignore it because the url has a redirect? Do we manually override it to make the chart ‘look right’?

    I’m working on an update to the chart to take 301s into account, and to ‘age’ links to blogs - so huge sidebar lists are pretty much discounted.

    From feedback I think we weighed the incoming links too highly this month.

    Yea the algorithm for google moves us around alot. We only post actual posts like 1-2 times per week, but our twitter sideblog is booming with activity!

    Poor lowly t-shirtguy.blogspot.com doesn’t even rate…In the words of Groucho Marx “I would never join a club that would have me as a member.”

    Nice list mate - your Google-esque algorithm has me intrigued! I’ve just created a new website design for Tshirt Alert, with a more intuitive menu system and more interactivity, as well as the inclusion of a few special guest authors. Do these factors have any influence on the algorithm, or are you calculations based on hard data such as frequency of posts, page rank etc?

    I read a book once exposing the secrets of Colonel Sanders secret 11 herbs and spices - two of them were salt and pepper….however the secret is of course the combination of spices, not just the names of a couple of them! So surely you can share one or two of the elements that are included in your algorithm?
