Time for IndiRank to be upgraded - need ideas!
Bloggers! Now that we've completed a revamp of IndiVine, it's time for IndiRank to have an upgrade as well. Here are a few ideas I have as of now:
- We create a dashboard for every blogger (in their account), where they can see detailed info on their IndiRank.
- This detailed info will include customized tips on how to improve IndiRank - based on the values picked up by our crawler.
- We'll include the previous IndiRank - with graphs to show how a blog's IndiRank has changed over time, and why.
- We'll show a countdown timer to the next update.
Any other ideas? 
wow...great...I always wonder on what basis indiranks are awarded. I think the above ideas will be great.... http://ballat.blogspot.com
I likessss that 
The Improvements suggested by Renie are superb. I am unable to think anything more to add.
can indirank be updated more frequently?
or rather can new users get their rank faster instead of waiting for a month for indirank to get refreshed?
I also posted a suggestion for improvement of indivine in the indivine thread. Have a look

Hey Aditya, we cannot update IndiRank for new users seperately - ranks are generated relative to all the other IndiBloggers. So if half the bloggers have an increase in Alexa/Pagerank while the rest remain the same, both groups will have a change in their IndiRank.
As for updating more frequently - one of the reasons for this upgrade is to streamline the entire process (crawling, calculations, email update to all users) so that we can do exactly that!
Great!
I agree with Madhu ! The constant strive for the better by Indiblogger team is laudable! Good going guyz !
Right now I could not think of any suggestion , will chip in when it strikes
Great ideas :) And if ideas can change life (As per Mr.Abhishek Bachchan) then definitely it can improve one's Indirank.I'll be waiting for the new features :)
Renie - awesome effort! Looks very exhaustive and hence am not able to think of anything more! Many thanks to you and team!
I have a small suggestion regarding the name. Generally most of us think rank means, lower the better. Probably I can suggest you to name it as indiscore.
I like rest of your suggestions and when is it coming up?
I completely agree wit this . Its a valid point raised over here !
exactly , i though my ranking had come down, it was my friend who explained how it works :)
seconding this ^
Absolutely agree that this needs a change. However, I'd vote for keeping the name and changing the score to 100-score. A rank has a nicer ring to it ;-)
oops. I dont know what happened. I only wrote the folowing. Probaly this could be because that I copied it from word.

I think you should not divulge the entire algoritm of how it is calculated otherwise spam users will start rigging their parameters to get high rank.
You can just tell the parameters (alexa, PR, technorati rank, backlinks etc) on which it is calculated.. and charts on each of them for previous months.
What say?
Great. Waiting for the countdown . . .
An idea: Maybe (thinking aloud) the people who have higher ranks, say above 75 can be given a week each in the forum where they speak out about content, widgets, alignment, ideas, relevance of comments, etc. Presently we do it only when asking for reviews. But by giving them a week each or maybe three days, the toppers can sound off. It can be called 'Indi Top Guns Gyan' or something like that.
Don't know whether its plausible but nevertheless . . .
Keep the great work going Renie and Anwin!
Joy always,
Susan
nice idea but we need to see how many people figure in that list. There might be too many, plus many wouldnt be ready for such an interview. Instead we can have a weekly member be interviewed and his/her interview is put up on the site. Something like what blogadda does.
Funding for the IndiChild funds is great, but being a student I will not able to contribute and thus I will be restricted someway. This cannot be allowed.
This is my opnion, don't feel bad.
For the first time in my life I would second Hemal. Lol :) I agree with that! But isn't it going to be tough? For you Renie?
Btw, are we going off topic? or off the record?
IndiRank crawler is running... if you haven't blogged in a while, now is the time!
I shud b ready for a drop in d rank of my prsnl blog :(
You can contribute to the IndiChild funds without pulling out credit cards - just help us win this entrepreneur contest here by voting and commenting!
I would want to see a list of top rank holders in my dashboard...say category wise...other thank that everything is cool..just waiting waiting waiting......
