Thanks for the Sphinn, there are so many niches that can benefit from this so easily.If you are sneaky you just 301 the page after a few weeks to your homepage :)
This is a great idea. But, I am slightly confused. How does the rankings figure out? Whats the formula that decides the rankings? I see PageRank Techronati and Alexa, but how does that figure into rankings?
I responded on the blog but just incase anyone is confused:Basically I had to do some smart maths on this one. There is a bit of dilemma as the higher the Google PR the better, but the lower the Alexa and Technorati the better. Therefore I told the programmer to give each PR a certain score. PR 10 = 0 Pr 9 = 1,000 … Pr 1 = 9,000 PR 0 = 10,000 So, now if you have a PR 9 (which is great) only 1,000 points are added to the final score. Then overall you just rank the sites by the lowest total score (all 3 added together). This isn’t perfect and probably not exactly fair but it means if two sites have the same T & A, although unlikely, the one with the higher pagerank will rank 1st.
Gotcha! I am now going to save my hundred dollars and write it myself! Thanks Glen! Awesome Idea!!
Excellent idea, Glen! Thanks for sharing exactly how you did this.
Your welcome Chris, I recommend everyone try a new niche for a while. You learn so many new things whether it is SEO, Blogging or even affiliate marketing.
Well done, its a nice way to get started in a niche. Your giving credit were its due, then also showing your ability to create unique posts. If you can follow up a stunt like this in a niche with good content, then your looking strong.
Ive seen a load of these type of sites popping up over the last few weeks. Many seem to be built using http://www.5starred.com/ (same script, $20 instead of 100)
Great Article! I think Ill have to give this a try. When youre just starting to understnad link building and SEO these ideas are priceless.
