The Virginia Political Blog Rankings for 7/24/2011 are out!

We thinned out some of the less active blogs and brought the total number of ranked blogs to 50. There were a number of blogs that have new posts only rarely and there was not much point in ranking them on a weekly basis.

Most of the rankings remained fairly steady, but there were one or two who fell in the Technorati rankings to not being listed, so they had a significant decline in these rankings as a result.

Also, as more data has been collected, the “penalty” for not being ranked by all 4 of the ranking sites has been reduced to allow greater accuracy. The goal of the “penalty” is to assign a ranking just below the lowest ranking for the site. This resulted in a number of blogs reflecting a rather large improvement, but these are all blogs that are not listed in at least 2 of the ranking engines. Those ranked in 3 or more were not effected because the lowest score is thrown out anyway.

Because of the change in “penalty” it will be impossible to fairly pick a “Most Improved” blog this week. It will also not meaningful to give the number and percentage of improved blogs for the same reason.

So, we will just present the rankings as they now stand:

The Overall Standings:

[table id=121 /]

Left Leaning Blogs:

[table id=122 /]

Right Leaning Blogs:

[table id=123 /]
