Abstract :
We propose a method for Blog evaluation and ranking, biased toward a Blog´s quality of content rather than a Blog´s popularity. With an estimate of more than one billion Blogs on the web today, Blog ranking by popularity instead of by quality may be a measure that becomes increasingly irrelevant - especially for Blogs that are not typically found in a `top-100´ list. We describe and implement our method, and provide results of our experiments and comparisons with the rankings of one of the premium Blog ranking engines.
