At the end of January, according to PubSub, this blog was ranked 11,723. I didn’t post most of the week of iDate, and my rank fell to a low of 94,000. Then, for some reason, it started climbing again. Perhaps it was because it went down sporadically for a few days. It wasn’t because I was posting more. On Sunday, I was back up to 8,184.
I tend not to put too much faith into blog ranking sites, like PubSub, Technorati and the like. Sort of like Alexa, in that it’s good for general unfocused trend analysis, but that’s about it.
Corante as a whole is at #9 at Blog Network List, and this blog is #530. Technorati Rank: 14,485 (359 links from 110 sites).
The url for this blog has changed to dating.corante.com from http://onlinedatingpost.com, which may have something to do with the search engines needing to be informed and re-indexing the site.
Only about 50 people are subscribed via their RSS newsreaders, I’m surprised this number has not grown. Then again, that means more people are visiting the site directly in their web browser.

The un-announced change in url caught me by surprise and who knows how 302? redirects affect crawlers. This begs the question, does the upside of belonging to a popular blog network outweigh the technical hassles and lack of control?
It would be interesting to see what exactly causes the drop in popularity. Would have to take blog uptime, comment uptime into consideration along with usual metrics.
Cool service idea, add alerts and ping/email people when their blog rank drops a certain percentage and provide reason why.
Well, the change of URL may have had something to do with your rankings going down, but we’ve definitely seen a trend with a decrease in LinkRank and lack of blog publishing.
This only makes sense. Less posts = less links and less links = a decrease in LinkRank.
