Brand Spanking New From Wikio
3 Feb 2010
Me again, and I have more from Dan at Wikio.
There is a new function that is a fantastic enhancement to the existing Wikio Ranking System. Those in the know will be aware of the broad categories upon which the various Wikio rankings are compiled, such as Sports, Politics, Technology etc…
However, Wikio have now about to take the ranking system a step further, and have developed a new sub-ranking system. So, in future, the categories that you are familiar with will also be available split into sub-rankings.
For example. .. Here, as a sneak peek is the sub-rankings for the football blogs, as a sub-ranking to the UK Sports blog list I published a few minutes ago…

If you want to look in a little more depth to some of the trends and who is linking to whom, then check out Wikio Labs
New - Wikio Labs
27 Jan 2010
Dan the Man from Wikio has emailed me today with news of the launch of Wikio Labs and having just gone and had a play around with some of the tools I have to say I like it. It will not be for everybody, but will be of interest to a number of bloggers. It requires no log in so is a tool which is open to the blogosphere to do some analysis. I understand that some of these tools have been designed based on the feedback from bloggers.
Basically, Wikio Labs (still in the Experimental Edition) is designed to give those of us with blogs a bit of a look inside the Wikio aligned Blogosphere and it has to be played with to be appreciated properly. For example, ever wondered which backlinks were giving you such a good Wikio Ranking? Well, using the Backlink Factory now you can go see who has been linking to you. Likewise, you can see your outgoing links by volume to other blogs. The cool thing is, as an analysis tool, this works for any url that you pop into the tool, so if you want to know who is consistently linking to a particular blog, or how a particular blog has achieved a high ranking, Wikio Labs now give this tool to go and analyse these things. This tool might in itself prompt some lively discussions about blog affiliations already in place.
Speaking of Wikio Rankings, there is a tool which has tracked your rankings over time, so now there is the option to go view a particular blogs progress in the rankings over time in a tool called Wikio Sources. Enter the url and look through summaries and articles of that blog. There is also then the statistics which shows a graph for Overall Ranking, Sub Ranking (i.e. Politics, sport etc), Publication volume and Number of backlinks.
Buzz Clouds are included to show trending topics of discussion and link back to the main Wikio Page. Wikio Trends is a simple to help demonstrate how a particular trending topic has garnered attention over time, versus another trending topic. Here’s some I made earlier…
And
Conclusions. The tools are cool, I am just a big kid when it comes to things like this, and I think there is something for most bloggers here, even is some may not see value in it. Some of the big boy blogs and MSM blogs will definitely find some benefit in the trending tools, especially comparison by trending topics. MSM Blogs may wish to see if they are setting the agenda or following it. For those of us who do not necessarily need nor want the broader analysis tools, there is the Backlink Factory analysis tool which may (or may not) stir a few dramas about who is, or is not linking to whom. I have added to my favourites already for the occasional browse.
Expert Advice
22 Jan 2010
I have to admit that when I checked out the Football Banter inbox the other day there was an email that did surprise me. It was from Dan at Wikio, who does email on occasion and has given Football Banter a few sneak peeks at the monthly rankings a few times.
Dan's question to me was, would I like to be listed on the Wikio site as their Sports Blog "expert", with a nice blurb and link back to the site?... Hmmm.... sure, thanks very much.
So that's it, I am hereby installed to the lofty title of Wikio Sports Blog Expert and will be helping Wikio with a few things on the Sports Blog side and in turn I hope to do my bit to help the Sports Blogs take off, and offer some feedback and opinions as well as new links that I may come across. There are some excellent blogs out there already; a look at the ranking speaks for itself. There are many blogs that are closer to sports clubs than this one, and there are many blogs more frequently contributed to and better supported, I read a number of them. There is more to come from the Sports Blogging arena, and I will be a small part of that. My opinion on Sports Blogging in the UK overall is that we have only just scratched the surface, there is massive potential for more blogs and of differing character. Large and small, all shapes, sizes and sports - it is not just football blogging to which I am referring.
I personally started blogging because I had been following Politics for a long time and Politics Blogs. After I had set up my own blog, the same principles seemed to transfer across to football so very easily; I was surprised both at how many Politics blogs there were, and how few sports blogs. Politics dominate the Wikio rankings partly because they are so numerous and partly because the political media have embraced them. They have become required reading in their own field. The realms of Political Blogging have been widely explored to an extent that Sports Blogs have not, well at least not yet been explored. At the heart of the rise of the political blog are two key points. 1. A desire from the masses to take more and more of their information from uneditorialised sources, and 2. The desire of people to also have their own say. By using those markers, the potential for sports blogs are great.
The next challenge for the sports bloggers, new and established is to challenge the existing main stream media sites by offering rival content, written by fans and for fans. The Sport Blog community is our community, we can make of it whatever we wish, and we can have a lot of fun along the way.
Final point I would like to add, is to acknowledge my co-author Tarquin. I have said before that I would have wound this blog up if he had not of come on board to keep the content flowing more regularly and insightfully. If Wikio have looked to this site and thought of me that is in no small part at all to Tarquins contribution to this blog. Thanks.
