Rankings
Welcome to Blogit.
Blog popularity rankings, as shown on each member profile next to the name of the blog(s), are based on the number of unique readers each day for the past seven days. We believe this is a useful indicator of the value of a blog, since it benefits blogs that consistently attract readers. The blog ranking is its overall rank amongst all the tens of thousands of blogs on Blogit.
"Unique readers" means that no matter how often someone reads a blog, they are only counted once when the rankings are calculated. The purpose is to ensure fair rankings by allowing each person to only "vote" once.
Since the rankings are calculated over seven days, even four days is not necessarily sufficient to change a blog's ranking. The calculation favors consistency over single-day popularity.
You can see each blog's ranking within a category by clicking on that category and scrolling down until you find it ranked within that category.
In addition, the Most Popular Today ranking is based on the past 24 hours, so it changes rapidly. For instance, say that all of the readers read a certain blog 23 hours ago. After two hours, that blog may not even appear in Most Popular Today, since no one will have read it in the past 24 hours.
So, as you can see, your rankings are a fluid number that will change over time. We recommend that you update a fewer number of blogs more regularly to get the highest rankings and regular readership. You may also want to check out the Blogit Help section on this topic.

Sheri...Welcome to Blogit.
You must be new to the internet as well as to Blogit. It's considerate rude to type everything in upper case. Good luck!
