I was pleasantly surprised to see TBP on the Wikio listing of top 100 blogs; Their ranking is not based on total traffic or Techorati scores., but something else”

Apparently, its incoming authority weighty RSS link based:

The position of a blog in the Wikio ranking depends on the number and weight of the incoming links from other blogs. These links are dynamic, which means that they are backlinks or links found within articles. Only links found in the RSS feed are included. Moreover, the weight of a link depends on the linking blog’s position in the Wikio ranking. With our algorithm, the weight of a link from a blog that is more highly ranked is greater than that of a link from a blog that is less well ranked.

One last note — The Big Picture is listed under “other” instead of Business (there’s no economics/market/investing category). I’ll shoot them a correction.

    Hi Barry, thanks for flagging this up for us. I’ve now put your Blog in under Business. You should see it appear in that ranking as of next month (rankings come out around the 5th).

    Nicksandiego, I have indexed your site. Assume you want it in the Business ranking too?

    Cheers,

    Dan

    Thanks Dan!

    Since moving to the new domain in November, my Technorati incoming links have been cut in half from 11,000 to 5500, up from 2500 right after the move.

    I assume it will continue to improve once we people change their blog rolls and other links.
