Would RealRank trump PageRank?

Slashdot It!

IZEA, the company of PayPerPost had released a new version of tracking and ranking blogs. With so many people and reports speculating that Google is going to strip the Pagerank thing,


RealRanks uses a piece of Javascript on your blog to track traffic, and requires you to be an IZEA user. That doesn’t strike me as being particularly accurate, but I think the point is to allow IZEA to replace Google’s PageRank as a way of ranking their own users’ blogs, rather than the wider world.

70% weighted towards visitors per day
20% weighted towards amount of ACTIVE inbound links per day
10% weighted towards pageviews per day

Unlike Google, they are open to feedback. They will publish the actual formulas for all to view. If they make any changes over time based on user input you will see what those changes are and why. They hope this becomes the most valuable site measurement tool worldwide and look forward to rolling this out.
