I'm actually kinda excited about this.
Of late I've been analyzing Mojoey's Atheist Blogroll (the list). As some of you may know it's quite large nearing 1,000 blogs. What I do basically is I periodically go through the list and see what blogs have been deleted by the authors (or have been otherwise expired from their domains) and help Mojoey (via email) update the blogroll. Sometimes an author has shut down their blog and moved to a different address without notifying Mojoey.
Yes, you could say I'm a bit of a fanatic in this regard but I do see the brilliant idea that the Atheist Blogroll is.
Without the Atheist Blogroll I would not have connected to almost every blog/blogger that is pertinent to my own world view.
Lately, I've been keeping a personal wiki (on my own PC) to catalog the blogs on the Atheist Blogroll and their status. I've come up with a simple formula to calculate the "Post Frequency Rank" of blogs on the Athiest Blogroll. The purpose of this ranking system is for mine alone (just to see how active the blog author is in posting to their blog that is on the Atheist Blogroll). However, I've thought of a way to calculate (in the same way) a "Comment Frequency Rank".
How many "lonely" blogs are out there that just don't get the traffic? By virtue of joining Mojoey's Atheist Blogroll these bloggers are joining a community of bloggers and wish to reach out for readership.
To be honest, this is a fresh idea and I have no idea how to implement it or even to get participation from other bloggers. Initially, I'm thinking on a "blog meme". Yet, how would I publicize the least trafficked blogs?
Any ideas?
