Valentine or not, here are the numbers of the Belgian Jury.
The changes to the process are:
- added some 20 more blogs, including the now #3 Dog Of Flanders. Hey, I can’t be expected to know all blogs, I discover new ones every day.
- added some ‘normal’ sites to see how they compare to the blogs. Today I will show results for the Flemish newspapers.
- added the 3 Dutch shockblogs: Flabber, VolkomenKut en GeenStijl, to see how far ‘behind’ Belgium is.
changed the weighting system for search engine hits. Altavista claims to have over 50.000 pages for coolios.net, whereas Google has only 2040. So I scaled all numbers to percentages of the site with the most hits. This makes Google results weigh heavier. (Flabber has most hits in most search engines: 9220 in Google, 192000 in Yahoo, 47000 in MSN and 199000 in Altavista)
- Alexa and Google PageRank coefficient calculation remains +- the same: they can at best give a multiplier of 200%, and at worst 100%.
- the end result is no longer in ‘equivalent hits’, but in percentages. To keep things easy, I scale everything back to 100% for the #1 site: coolios.net.
Here is the top #30:
- 100,0% www.coolios.net

I don’t agree http://www.pandora.be is a blog, seen as it’s redirected to the portal site of Telenet.

You are completely right. It was one of the comparison sites that I forgot to take out. It’s corrected now!
En waar is hbvl.be?
And there it is: Het Belang Van Limburg!
Just a suggestion : what about incorporating the Pubsub Linkranks ?

Considering my ranking, I’m inclined to believe that this script becomes buggier every release
Nah, great work: as far as I can judge it, it’s a pretty accurate barometer of the Belgian Blogosphere.
Hmmm…. de volgorde klopt niet echt, afgaande op de procenten. Zo staat oa. jahsonic.com op de tiende plaats met 26,5% en http://www.scene24.net op de 13de plaats met 28,0%….
Inderdaad, straf dat niemand dat nog gezien had.
Een keer te weinig gesorteerd in Excel. Dat is nu gecorrigeerd!
Thx!
ik snap het niet..waar staan die procenten voor??????

Retegoed, vooral die posts over fascisme. Ook post over Hugo Coveliers is hilarisch
Weblog over geschiedenis, ethiek en geloof, nogal complex soms:

Hi there is a new blog where you can put comments about daily life in Flanders: http://www.ditisvlaanderen.blogspot.com/
feed://ditisvlaanderen.blogspot.com/atom.xml
Hier kan je alles kwijt over je opmerkingen en tips over het dagelijks leven in Vlaanderen, aan haar politici… met als opzet even je hart te luchten en Vlaanderen positief te helpen uitbouwen.

This one’s quit amusing too. Most of the stuff they’re on is about media, politics and social ignorance alltogether. I must say their military style must really appeal to some.
