Phooey on Popuri Again
April 4th 2007 10:08
A few comments again on Popuri. I had
another look at it last night and wonder if it’s of any real value. I have three blogs. One of these is a Blogger.com job, (Mike Crowl's Random Notes), and two are on Orble – one, this one, of which has its own domain name.
Now according to my understanding, the one with the domain name ought to have the higher rating in Popuri’s statistics. Does it? Nope: it came out bottom of the three.
The Blogger.com came out next, and most curiously, the Orble blog without the domain name came out on top, with a decent Alexa figure, and even a Google ranking!
I thought this was very curious, and investigated a bit more. Turns out that Popuri isn’t rating that one blog on its own, but all the blogs that have Orble in their title, cumulatively. So the rating is actually useless.
Yet, you’d think it would do the same for the Blogger.com one, which, like possibly millions of others, has blogspot in the title.
See why I feel this little utility is a bit useless?
Popuri is also the name of a character in Harvest Moon 64, a farm simulation game from Nintendo.
