How does the big list of sewing blogs work?

Filed under: The big sewing list — Suzical @ 11:32 pm

Sorry folks - I was away for just a few days and had a technical glitch with the list! A few of the blogs disappeared off the list - thankfully it’s all fixed now, but if you spot any more probs - just drop me a line!

I’m often asked how my list of sewing and craft blogs is generated and what the numbers mean so I thought I would try to shed a little light on the matter. Basically it all boils down to magic! Sorry wasn’t that what you wanted to hear?

Technorati

Firstly, the list has been generated two ways. I added a lot of the blogs that I read on a daily basis which got the list going. Since then people email me asking to be added to the list. I’ve tried to ensure that all the sites I’ve added are blogs that are updated regularly, relatively non commercial and talk about sewing or crafts. I hope this keeps the quality of the list high, and makes it a valuable resource for you. If you aren’t already on the list of sewing blogs, please feel free to email me with your site, and I’ll get you added.

The numbers that are assigned are taken from technorati. They rank blogs based on the number of links from other blogs. I’ll post in future about how you can increase this number. You can read more about this on the technorati blog.

So, the list is hand generated by me (aren’t I good :-) ) but the score is based on technorati.

If you have any questions please leave a comment. If you are on the list and haven’t already added a sewing badge, I would certainly appreciate you helping me spread the word (and increase my technorati rank :-) ). And if you aren’t already listed on the site, then please drop me a line.

Have a good weekend.

  1. ah! Now it makes sense - I wondered why I hadn’t gone up the table when I updated my blog address with you :) I thought it updated automatically. (Incidentally my rank is now 492,178)

  2. well Joleo, pity us poor souls who languish in the 20,000,000s. There are too many too numerous to mention or number. How am I ever going to get out of it?!!!
    Is it Hell or merely purgatory?

  5. I still don’t understand how blogs are rates here. I know my blog has moved up on the list, but I don’t really know why. Is it based on the number of hits a blog gets?
