Exclusive: The Best Film Blogs, According to Wikio
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on February 3, 2010 Share
Every month, the folks at Wikio rank the best blogs in various categories. And this month, we’ve been given an exclusive look at the updated rankings in the Film Blogs category, where we rank #7. Not bad, considering the fact that we were ranked #8 last month, behind CartoonBrew.com. Now, if we could only pass up FirstShowing.net. Perhaps next time I see Alex Billington, I will knock him out and smash his computer. Yeah, that sounds about right.
Wikio explains their ranking system as such:
The position of a blog in the Wikio ranking depends on the number and weight of the incoming links from other blogs. Our algorithm accords a greater value to links from blogs placed higher up in the ranking.
A blog linking another blog is only counted once a month i.e. if blog A links to blog B 10 times in a given month, it is only counted as having linked to that blog once that month. The weight of any link decreases over time. Also, if a blog always links to the same blog, the weight of these links is decreased.
Only links found in RSS feeds are counted. Blogrolls are not taken into account.
This isn’t normally the kind of thing we’d publish, as we’re all about humility here at FSR. However, the folks at Wikio offered us a chance to share this information first — and we like being first. Below you will find the new film blog rankings, in which #7 is clearly the best possible score. See, humility. In reality, there are some great lesser-known film blogs on here. You should check them out. Shh… don’t tell them I said that.
