How noisy are Australian bloggers, anyway?

G'day! Welcome to my blog. I only post intermittently. If you'd like to keep track of what I'm doing, please consider subscribing to my RSS feed. You can also follow me on Twitter (1-20 short posts a day) and Tumblr (a few found objects per month).

According to buggerall, I’m the 85th most noisy blogger in Australia (but less than 3% as noisy as Darren “ProBlogger” Rowse). Extracting the top 100…

That’s me, at the right. Here’s the graph of all 923 entries, though:

Australian Blogger Rankings: Noise vs Rank (Top 923)

There’s your classic power law, as you no doubt expected.

For the time being, I can bask in the knowledge that there are at least 84 Australian bloggers noisier than I am. With luck, I’ll slide even further once the rest of the Australian bloggers rush to secure their ranking by registering at buggerall.

(Nice buzz generation exercise, fellas. Onya.)

    Mick is abundantly noisier than I am, but has a lower ranking at buggerall. I suspect it’s all those backlinks from the old days.

    If you think I should bring back some of the old posts, dear readers, now is as good a time as any to say so.

    Hey Garth,

    Agree with your observations that the results are skewed on how backlinks are treated. Yahoo is certainly very liberal in recognising them, which was a key reason why we went down that path.

    The list itself and the ordering is prob only worth chuckle value, I was just keen to show the surprising number of local bloggers and the solid hum of activity and chatter that is taking place.

    Thanks for the plug mate.

    How do you measure noisiness of a blog?

    I agree, how exactly do you go about measuring the “noisiness of a blog”? Are you referring to clutteriness? Spam?

    In more recent news: I’ve dropped to #172, at least according to the BuggerAll’s Noisiest Australian Blogger List, Winter 2007 Edition. According to this admission, basically all they’re doing is counting backlinks on Yahoo.
