Renie keep your promises man!![]()
We don't want to know how much booze you had after the Bangalore meet for an excuse. ![]()
I'm clueless... how does Indirank work? and what's the criteria? pls help!
Your Indirank depends on your
1) Page Rank
2) Alexa Rank
3) Post Frequency
@Binitha:
It is a way of ranking blogs just like Google ranks websites with pagerank. You need to have good content, post regularly on your blog and graually gain visitors to your blog. The higher the rank, the better. It's updated every three months. I could nt post regularly on my blog and thus dropped to 55 from 67 :( !!!
As for Google Pr, Google has its own algorithm and you have to work really hard to push up your rank. If your blog is new, you may have n/a as your rank, which gradually moves up to 0/10 and then higher upto 10. (although 10 is a rare phenomenon) :)
The Indirank updates every month not every 3 months...
Though it sometimes feels like 3 months have elapsed since the last rank :-P
And it takes into account the alexa rank of the blog!!
@Priya - You are spot on about the PR thing , just around 8 websites in the world have a PR 10 .
You mean 0/10 is a sign of improvement?
If it is, I am super happy because my blog has it now. When I saw it in the morning, I was very sad thinking I am still way behind.
so did they come out wid ranks??
Not yet!!
god!i m still waiting for my debut rank ![]()
Alexa ranking is something which is debatable. First of all, it is based on a small sample audience who use the Alexa toolbar. More details

If you are talking about Google PR, yes it is a thing to aspire for, because a lot of things are taken into account and not only incoming traffic. Ask any internet marketing person what Google PR means to him !!! :)
LOL alrite I will ask myself !
You seem to be quite emotional about ranking metrics ![]()
Thats true, GPR is the thing to really aspire for...
hehehhehhe..why ppl r so gung-ho about traffic neway?? ![]()
Argh! Do they notify us when we get our new ranks? like an email or something?
cuz i'm so damn tired to see it again and again
Sorry! Stats for your blog have not been generated as yet.
Ya... An email will be sent when new Indirank comes out...
so d agenda for today ... WATCH OUT FOR THE MAIL :)
Nah... This wait is every months, when you are new you are anxious but then you get used to it :-P
That is exactly what i am doing... gmail open all the time.
but for a THOUSAND times ALL the MAILS that I am getting from INDIBLOGGER are just NOTIFICATIONS of forum replies.
hehehehehhe....so u can post here if dere's an update
@arti...PRO bachan
but since dis is my first tym so kind of waiting anxiously
@ Madhav Have patience kid, fruit of patience is sweet ![]()
speaking of sweet..i hav a sudden craving for gulab jamun...ne1 interested?? ![]()
Arti +1 :)
I cant forget how I waited for it last time and now as if I don't care (though I care because it affects the votes:)
You are right it effects the indivine votes!!
Congratulations to ARTI !!!
Our new FORUM HERO! debuting into the list with 899.
Way to go Arti!
Phew! Thanks Xeno, did it with this thread, so this is special ![]()
the guessing game can go for some more now that the ranks hav been delayed
Yeah, the ranks are going to come out by Apr 18th, thats what the dashboard says!
7 days more!
Indiblogger is going to make me bald!![]()
It may come out earlier, infact I think it will!!!
Is it reasonable to expect that a debut Indirank for a 3 week old blog will be higher than 50, whatever that means? And what is Alexa?
I won't be able to answer that. Rohan knows all these things very well.
But i think it depends a lot to your blog traffic and if it has a google pr nd others.
Go to www.alexa.com where you can submit your blog for free. After a few days they will add your blog to their database and you get to know your rank according to your blog traffic.
One of my blogs is 6 weeks old and i'm expecting to cross 60. ![]()
You dont need to submit your blog to alexa, I think to get an alexa rank...
And yes, above 50 will be a good start for just a 3 week old blog!!
Yeah we don't need to submit it.. but then new blogs aren't always added to their database so easily.
So "999,999,999" is better than a "not found" isn't it?
Anyway i don't know much about these things
nothing wrong in expecting that. my debut rank was 66
whoa 66. Yeah i'm dreaming of a similar debut rank here! ![]()
@the xeno, arti, animesh - Thank you for your inputs!
:)
Yawn!
Thank god Renie mentioned or I'd have died in anxiety already!
Believe me, this is nothing... Once it came out a month later without anyone notifying here!!!
Guessing game has changed from rank to date which rank is coming out , lets all try . My guess is 24 th April 2011
lmao. Good one.
My guess: April 26th.
cool! i can't guess...........what is so spl in no.s 24 or 26, lucky no.s
In that case, I will in for the 22nd April:)
Hpw does it matter? What matters is the rank and with upgrades we can be sure enough it will give us a better perspective of our blog to us
True
@animesh
I'll leave the critique of the IndiRank algorithm to those more qualified but regardless of what the number may be, I'd like to get one just so my blog can be "seen" more easily by members of the IndiBlogger community who are likely to take an interest. Based on comments from older members, it appears the number is not a good measure of the quality or usefulness of the blog.
@PC, I dont think Indirank is the way for your blog to be visible. My experience says good content packed with good networking does it for you.
@animesh
I'm talking about how blogs are classified here - by "recentness" and by "indirank".
Even if you search for topical blogs, lets say cooking or sports or politics, the list of thousands comes back ranked by indirank.
No, homepage shows the most voted posts
Which posts get the most votes ? . I have never seen a less ranked blog post in the homepage . And second thing try to take things on lighter note also.
@dhiraj. Animesh likes to argue.
@ Pundit , +1
But its a good time pass methof on the forum for all those who are too eager for their indiranks.!
Thanks! great idea Dhiraj.
You changed the topic, GREAT :-P :-o
Thanks Xeno
I think it is going to come on 27th.
No specific reason. ![]()
I think i should go to make kundali of Indiblogger and all of us, i mean the day and time u joined indi is ur birthtime on indi........all this will decided fate of your indirank. i guess boring joke........
Nice one:):)
That is ACTUALLY a great idea Mohini.
We can have an IndiTime .. to mark the date and time we came into indiblogger and a fictional chart can be prepared which shows the fate of your indirank or something.
lol!![]()
LOLZzzzzz!@Xeno, i thought that was the poorest joke. we had same condition in our engg, results, the dates used to come and go.......btw, now changing the topic we are doing new tp!
+ The Xeno Indi Time .
:-D

you still have 8 days for ur guess
Ya, you should be happy ;-)
Are you by any chance serious about indirank
Who me??
@ Arti , not for you , you have a good indirank , its for Xeno
of course not! since it is the same as checking pagerank, alexa n all...
i'm just trying my best to fool around! ![]()
We are sailing in the same ship ...
Dhiraj, waiting for it to in above 80!!!
@ arti , all the best . But you don't have think too much about it with your kind of talent and blog .
Arti! Bestest wishes!
@ Dhiraj
Not thinking too much but it has been 79 for eternity now!!
@ Mohini
Thanks Thanks!!:)
30 Th April 2011! (All my predictions are based upon nothing!)
you can add a disclaimer notice to that:: "No Jyotishis were hurt during the procuring of this prediction"
Lol :-D
+ Xeno
Xeno ROFL! thanks for adding it! If you take this prediction seriously, and for any deviation in the results, the responsibility of any emotional depression or frustration is solely yours, I can't say that I agree with what I am saying! My intention was just to put a no. and not to hurt or excite anybody by the indirank date. Further I have no official contact with the inditeam to predict the date perfectly!
don't worry 30th is too late for me.
I am expecting it to be earlier! ![]()
Xeno , lets us wait n watch .
Thats the only option!!
