Five Questions On My Mind … Can You Answer Any?
By Matt McGee on Feb 26, 2007 in Miscellaneous
1. How does MyBlogLog generate that “Hot in My Communities” list (at left) that shows on my profile page? Is it pure link/click analysis? Links/Clicks from and by whom? My contacts?
2. Anyone ever see any traffic bumps from being listed there?
3. On a related note … should I pay the very affordable $25 fee to upgrade to MyBlogLog Pro, or wait to see if Yahoo! makes the upgraded stats available for free as it integrates the service more deeply?
4. Am I doing a disservice to the blogs in my blogroll (”Random Good Stuff” on the right side) by having that set of links show up in random order every time a spider (or human) visits the page?
5. How does DomainTools.com determine a domain’s “SEO Score”? The one pictured below, with a 67% score, is the lowest score I’ve ever seen from DomainTools.com, and it’s pretty accurate in the sense that the domain in question was badly in need of SEO help.

1. I think its just volume/recent-ness based. I don’t see anything too complex going on there… though that is a great area they could further develop in the future!
2. YES
3. I haven’t tried the Pro yet…
4. Absolutely not - I like MyBlogLog because it “rewards” frequent visitors by showing other visitors like-minded folks. The Random Good Stuff are sites you like and therefore should be ranked however you chose. But it’d be nice if it were possible to order those by: A) how often you linked to those folks or B) how often they linked to you or C) how often they visit… or a combination of the above!
5. Great question - I’ve wanted to ask them that too. Maybe we can convince them to tell us?

Tim - I’m curious to know what kind of traffic bump you’ve seen from that MBL chart. Can you add any details?
