How does your blog rank? Find out with Real Rank

If you are looking to monetize your blogsite or website, it is very important to have good traffic as advertisers would give more weight to the sites that are visited most often.

Is there really a way to know how many visitors go to a particular site? For blogs, Blog Ranks may be determined by Realrank. This is a ranking system that focuses exclusively on measuring the traffic and influence of individual blogs throughout the blogosphere. This would help advertisers in making advertising decisions based on the most comprehensive and relevant view of a blog's ability to meet specific campaign goals.

IZEARanks uses a piece of javascript to collect and report a rank based on actual traffic. You can choose whether you want to display pageviews and visitors or just your RealRank. The system weights blogs 70% on daily unique visitors, 20% by daily active inbound links and 10% by daily page views as reported by ITK.

The site is very easy to use. I just typed in my blogs's URL, http://the-working-mom.blogspot.com and my realrank, page views and unique visitors to my site appeared! And you can even check for historical data, such as how many people visited your blog 3 weeks ago!

There's also an ongoing contest. The number one blog for each week in February will win a 1000 dollar reward! How cool is that! You do have to be a legal U.S. citizen and at least eighteen years of age in order to join. Of course you should have signed up for Real Rank, so that's yet another reason to join in. So what are you waiting for? Joining is free!
