NZ blogs sitemeter ranking – October ‘09

Ken — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:00:07 +0000

Currently I have found 123 NZ blogs with publicly accessible sitemeter stats. This is about 20% of the total on my database.

The blogs are listed in the table below, together with daily visits and page view numbers averaged over the previous 7 days. The data was that given by by the NZ blog ranking tool on October 23rd.

This can be seen at NZ blogs average daily visits

Have a look at that tool. Its a way of comparing your own blog’s performance from day to day - a roller coaster ride which can be quite exciting!

Just be aware that it relies on spreadsheets at Googles Docs and data is not always available. If the data is missing or incomplete, wait a while and reload the page. it will eventually show up.

Meanwhile I am still keen to hear of any other blogs with publicly available sitemeter stats that I have missed. Contact me if you know of any.

NZ blogs sitemeter ranking – September ‘09 (openparachute.wordpress.com)

NZ’s largest science blog network goes live

Ken — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:00:12 +0000

You will notice a rash of new science blogs based in New Zealand. Maybe you have already.

This press release explains it all.

The Science Media Centre today launches a major new science communication effort with the arrival of Sciblogs, a network of science blogs covering everything from clinical health to climate change.

Sciblogs debuts with 26 bloggers, including scientists from universities, Crown Research Institutes and private research organisations the length of the country. It will be the largest online hub for science-related content relevant to New Zealanders and act as a forum of discussion on the important issues facing society.

Syndicating their work through Sciblogs are well-established bloggers like Open Parachute’s Dr Ken Perrott, MacDoctor’s Dr Jim McVeagh, Hot Topic’s Gareth Renowden and Dr Alison Campbell, the founder of BioBlog.

Newcomers joining the line-up include University of Otago marine ecologist and 2008 MacDiarmid Young Scientist of the Year Dr Rebecca McLeod, Victoria University climate scientist Dr Andy Reisinger and astrophysicist Dr Shaun Hendy, who is deputy director of the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology.

A full list of our bloggers can be found here.

“In business and politics, health and agriculture, science features prominently in all aspects of our lives these days,” says Peter Griffin, manager of the Science Media Centre.

“But often there’s little decent discussion of the science itself. New Zealand has some great science bloggers, but they don’t get the recognition they deserve because they are scattered across the web.”

Sciblogs brings the best science bloggers together in one place to form the largest local online community dedicated to science. Sciblog contributors have full editorial and creative control of their blogs and new Scibloggers will be added over time.

The Sciblogs platform, built by Auckland web developer Marker Studio, is the first major implementation of the opensource WordPress MU (multiple user) blogging system in New Zealand.

“The system is totally scalable so we can add new bloggers in a matter of minutes,” says Griffin.

Ultimately the goal is to start ongoing conversations on the big issues, everything from genetic modification and climate science to health care and our use of new technology.

“It’s a bit of an experiment for New Zealand where the blogosphere is dominated by political pundits and where the conversation can often turn nasty,” says Griffin.

“But we think there’s an appetite for intelligent comment on scientific issues and Sciblogs will be central to that.”

And here’s a list of the current blogs – do go and have a browse:

Science communication in New Zealand

Ken — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 02:00:44 +0000

Here’s an interesting discussion from TVNZ’s Media7 programme (see video below). A discussion on the problems and issues with science communication in New Zealand.

Russel Brown discusses this with the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor, Professor Sir Peter Gluckman, the Science Media Centre’s Peter Griffin and NZ Herald’s feature Writer Chris Barton.

It’s an interesting discussion covering aspects like:

The lack of journalists with scientific background;
The low priority given to science by the media;
Poor communication skill of many scientists;
The Crown Research Institutes’ bureaucracy’s fear of the media and subsequent restriction on contact with scientists, and
The relative freedom of university scientists.

The NZ Sciblogs new blogging platform was also discussed. Due to be launched this month this will provide a platform for blogging scientists. About 20 scientists are involved initially but this will expand as more come on board. Peter Griffin hopes that this will encourage development of a new crop of science communicators.

NZ blog ranks – August ‘09

Ken — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 23:30:02 +0000

Just to be different, I am providing a different type of ranking this month. After all NZ bloggers already have those provided by Tumeke and Half Done. Rather than an overall rank the table below ranks NZ blogs according to the RSS subscription counts. Data were recorded at the end of August. They are for Google Reader and Bloglines. Each of these were ranked separately (columns 3 and 4). And the average rank used to produce the overall rank (column 1).

Google Reader subscription counts ranged from 0 to 1160. Blogline counts from 0 – 269.

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic

Meanwhile – don’t forget the NZ blog ranking tool. This lists the performance of over about 90 NZ blogs based on actual sitemeter visit statistics. The data is for average visits/day over the previous 7 days. Obviously only the blogs which allow public access to the statistics are included. Data changes daily and one can watch blogs moving up and down the list on a daily basis.

NZ blogs sitemeter ranking – August ‘09

Ken — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:00:00 +0000

There are now about 90 NZ blogs with publicly accessible sitemeter stats. They are listed in the table below, together with daily visits and page view numbers averaged over the previous 7 days. The data was that given by the NZ blog ranking tool on August 20th. This can be seen at NZ blogs average daily visits.

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic

I have also had a look at how the data for four different sitemeters compare. The daily data was taken for Open Parachute over about 16 days. The sitemeters were StatCounter and Sitemeter (average for previous 7 days), ShinyStat (average for the previous calendar week) and Go Stats (average over the previous month). These were chosen because wordpress.com doesn’t enable the use of javacode required for Extreme and Bravenet. The last two counters are used by a few NZ blogs. Results in the table below.

Average visits/day and page views/day for four counters.
(Normalised to 100% for Sitemeter)

Counter	Visits/day	Page views/days/day
Sitemeter	96%	102%
Statcounterr	100%	100%
Shiny Stat	93%	84%
Go Stats	83%	97%

Statcounter and Sitemeter produce very similar results – and are the most frequently used counters in New Zealnd. GoStats gave particularly low visit numbers.

I suggest that if you don’t have a counter on your blog have a look at Sitemeter or StatCounter. And, let me know the link if you decide to make the stats public. I am always interested in hearing about NZ blogs with public sitemeter stats that I have missed. This will enable me to increase the numbers of blogs surveryed on the blog ranking tool.

NZ science bloggers – new opportunity

Ken — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 05:02:33 +0000

The NZ Science Media Centre will soon launch a blogging platform for New Zealand scientists. A site has been parked at NZ sciblogs for this.

Initially some of those scientists currently blogging, as well as new people keen to get into blogging, will be invited onto the platform. Existing bloggers may be offered the chance to syndicate their content onto Sciblogs. So it looks like Sciblogs will sart off with plenty of activity.

The site is based on Worpdpress MU which gives control to the individual blogger. Peter Griffin, Manager of the Science Media Centre hopes the new site will bring New Zealand’s community of science bloggers together in one place to provide ready access for interested readers. He hopes it will become “the public address of science” in New Zealand.

I think this will be a great place for new bloggers. Because it will be a community with plenty of new input there will not be pressure on individuals to post more frequently than they wish to. The community should also generate more traffic than an individual new to blogging can create on their own. I hope this will encourage those scientists who have been thinking of branching out in this way, but have not yet motivated themselves top “take the plunge.”

My rough count found about a dozen science-related blogs, or blogs belonging to scientists. These range through educational, ecological and conservation aligned, biology, physics and other disciplines to more general blogs talking about scientific methodology and philosophy. Bloggers are from Crown Research Institutes, private companies and the universities. Put together this should make New Zealand’s Sciblogs an interesting site.

I have a feed on the side aggregating a number of New Zealand science blogs. Have a look to see what’s available.

Any scientist thinking of blogging, or currently blogging, who wants to find out more or register their interest can contact Peter Griffin at the Science Media Centre.

NZ blog ranks – July ‘09

Ken — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 01:15:14 +0000

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic

My latest attempt to rank New Zealand blogs in the tables below.

The methods used are outlined in Ranking methods for NZ blogs. The change is the change in ranking compared with May 09 (NZ blog ranks – June ‘09).

This time I have removed the Alexa NZ rank – with about 400 blogs I find that only around 30% actually have a Alexa NZ rank. I have also removed All the Web link count as it was producing some unrealistically high numbers (over a million links!). This has produced big changes in some cases.

So, briefly the current method involves ranking the blogs according to 9 different ranking indices – 3 page ranking (Google Pagerank, Alexa 3 month rank and Technorati rank), 4 linking indices (Alexa links, Google web links, Google blog links and Yahoo links) and 2 RSS subscription counts (Google reader and Bloglines). The average rankings for the 9 indices are then ranked to produce a final rank.

I also include a separate ranking for each of the 3 broad classes – Page ranking, Links and RSS subscription counts.

If you want a more immediate measure of blog performance have a look at the NZ blog ranking tool. This lists the performance of over about 90 NZ blogs based on actual sitemeter visit statistics. The data is for average visits/day over the previous 7 days. Obviously only the blogs which allow public access to the statistics are included. Data changes daily and one can watch blogs moving up and down the list on a daily basis.

NZ blog sitemeter ranking – June ‘09

Ken — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 13:00:27 +0000

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic

There are now about 60 NZ blogs with public sitemeter stats. these are ranked in the table below. The change is with respect to the equivalent May ranking (NZ blog sitemeter ranking – May ‘09).

I have also included a snapshot of the daily ranking on the NZ blog ranking tool. This can be seen at NZ blogs average daily visits. This is based on the visits/day averaged over the previous 7 days. The data is for July 12. Because I have only managed to automate the spreadsheet for StatCounter, Sitemeter and ShinyStat the number of blogs is, at this stage, slightly smaller.

Always interested in hearing about NZ blogs with public sitemeter stats that I have missed. For those bloggers who don’t use sitemeters but are interested have a look at sitemeter, StatCounter, ShinyStat or search for other sitemeters.

NZ blog ranks – June ‘09

Ken — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:00:37 +0000

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

My latest attempt to rank New Zealand blogs in the tables below.

The methods used are outlined in Ranking methods for NZ blogs. The change is the change in ranking compared with May 09 (NZ blog sitemeter ranking – May ‘09).

Briefly the method involves ranking the blogs according to 11 different ranking indices – 4 page ranking (Google Pagerank, Alexa 3 month rank, Technorati rank and Alexa NZ rank), 5 linking indices (Alexa links, Google web links, Google blog links, All the Web links and Yahoo links) and 2 RSS subscription counts (Google reader and Bloglines). The average rankings for the 11 indices are then ranked to produce a final rank.

I also include a separate ranking for each of the 3 broad classes – Page ranking, Links and RSS subscription counts.

If you want a more immediate measure of blog performance have a look at the NZ blog ranking tool. This lists the performance of over 50 NZ blogs based on actual sitemeter visit statistics. The data is for average visits/day over the previous 7 days. Obviously only the blogs which allow public access to the statistics are included. Data changes daily and one can watch blogs moving up and down the list on a daily basis.

(Note: I might try to transfer some of the rankings below into an online daily updated format like the NZ blog ranking tool. Currently I find difficulty in uploading large tables onto this blog site – presumably my broadband is just not adequate).
