June BiblioBlog Top 50 by Alexa and Other Big News …

Posted by Jeremy on June 30, 2011

Well, this may come as a shock to some of you, but we are approaching the end of BiblioBlog rankings by Alexa …

Steve has already made mention of it HERE, so I guess the cat is already out of the bag to some extent.  He is working on our very own BiblioBlog ranking system that is not enslaved to Alexa.  That’s right, we’re getting ready to be the real deal now.  It’ll be like BiblioBloggerati … or something.  To be honest, I’m a bit floored by Steve’s computer skills.

In addition, the folks here at the BiblioBlog Top 50 have recently written up a set of criteria for what will be considered a BiblioBlog, a related blog, etc … well, mostly Steve wrote up the criteria and we gave our input.  So (and this is meant for those listed below as well as for those that didn’t make the top 50 this month) don’t be surprised if your blog is classified and ranked differently shortly (or even dropped).

I pondered making use of Steve’s updated lists this month, but it didn’t seem worth the time considering he’ll have everything revamped and up and running soon.  And a few blogs are still pending recategorization.  I’m not sure of his exact time frame for having kicked off, but I do know that he’ll have some kind of announcement within the week.

So, I’m not sure if this will be the final time for Alexa or if we might need a little time for the new ranking system to start calculating stats … At any rate, here’s your BiblioBlog Top 50 for June while that news sinks in … oh, and congrats again to Joel:

Biblioblog Rankings by Alexa May 2011 – The “Nah, nah, nah, nah … Hey, hey, hey Goodbye, Jim West” Edition

Posted by Jeremy on May 31, 2011

Oh my! This is the real deal this time.  “Number 2″ Joel Watts (et al) has taken over the top spot from perennial Biblioblog rankings tyrant leader the devil Jim West.  Will the top two spat or will Beelzebub  Jim relinquish his title graciously?  Will the person who I’m sure must have cheated somehow Joel rub it in or behave like a good sport?  Stayed tuned for this episode of As The BiblioBlog World Turns …. :)

Biblioblog Top 50 for February (by Alexa Rank)

Posted by Jeremy on February 28, 2011

Well, it’s that time again.  I know what you’re all thinking – if only this year had been a leap year, I could have pulled my ranking up and perhaps even defeated Jim West.  I know that you are all thinking this because I know how important these rankings are to you all.  I realize that many of you think about them constantly and probably could not imagine life without them.  Indeed, I know that some of you can think of little else.

But alas, it is only a regular year and not a leap year.  And, the leader once again was:

*** JIM WEST ***

Jim couldn’t be here to receive the award on his own behalf, so he has recorded a message for you.

(N. T. Wrong Approved) BiblioBlog Top 50 January 2011 (by Alexa Rank)

Posted by Jeremy on January 31, 2011

Well, I think this song probably encapsulates how most everyone is feeling:

That’s right … “Say it ain’t so” … You no longer get (are privileged/are blessed) to go to freeoldtestamentaudio.com to get your Biblioblog rankings.  But, just to make sure that I continue to get traffic for this.  I’m going to replace the link for each blog in the Biblioblog top 50 with a link to my website.  Oh wait a second … I’m not Joel.

As I said before, it’s been fun hosting this over at my place, but I originally took it on because it looked like this site was closing up shop.  Now, that this site is back up and running the rankings are back where they belong.  So, without further ado, the top biblioblogger of the month for January was:

*** Twimmy Twest***

Hey, the rankings aren’t on my blog anymore but that’s still your nickname, Twim.

And, it appears that we all need to keep an eye on Near Emmaus … or about 47 eyes since that’s about how many people they’ve got blogging over there now ;-). But, maybe if we all go over there and blog, Twim’s reign of supremacy will end.  Then, what would happen?  My guess is complete anarchy as Twim unleashes his reign of terror on the world.

At any rate, commence the monthly slew of posts maiming of the blog ranking system and so forth. Just know that now Bishop Wrong may just decide to excommunicate you.

By the way, you may also want to check out the new blogs added to the list this month.
