Top Twilight Blogs - WTF?


Jenny Jerkface here. I'm humbly reaching out to my lovely Twitards and bloggers for a little help and information.

So here it goes - how the fuck does Top Twilight Blogs actually work? We're a bit confused here. I mean, as much as I hate to admit that I'm not utterly perfect at everything, I really can't figure out this whole rating thing. The reason I ask is because we inexplicably dropped substantially in ratings on a day that was really good for us, hit-wise. What can I say - sometimes I gets confused about this all this rating stuff.

Any ideas? Is Twilight Top Blogs actually like the Mafia or something?

  1. Jenny, I have tried many times to sign up to that thing and I can't. My blogger friend and I have cried over it. We are not stupid and college educated, but we can't get it to sign us up....meaning confirm our site. Oh well.

  2. Whatever. I can't figure it out either. I had a super fabulous day, and my rating shot up to 16 or something insane, but yesterday it dropped back down; now it's at the same rating as the other one I'm on- Top Twilight Sites, which never shot up as high as the Top Twilight Blogs. I looked through, and it looks like a bunch of sites' ratings went down.

    Wow, sorry; I just rambled on and on (because it is all about me, apparently)... I have nothing to offer you except the ego boost that your blog rocks my socks!

  3. Same things happened to me yesterday. One moment I was 103 and then the next went to 129...if you find out, please let me know!

  4. All I know is TW Top Blogs has now switched to a monthly hit average from a daily hit average. They were down for a little bit & when they came back up it was monthly average.

    Which is what the Top TW sites uses. We dropped too & a couple of sites that were behind us pulled ahead of us.

    They say this system is supposed to be more fair so if a site has a really huge amount of hits one day they don't move ahead like they would on a daily average. It also takes a lot longer to move up the ranks.

    That's all I know. Which really doesn't help much. Sorry!

  6. This was a totally "Twilight, schmilight - what about MY needs?!" post so I totally appreciate you guys taking the time to reply! And no offense intended but yes it does make me feel better to know that at least I am in good company as far as not knowing how it works and having our number plummet. Thanks guys!!

    And P.S. [insert dripping sarcasm here] thanks a lot Top Blogs Admin for answering my email/question (fine fine I know I am probably inadvertently dissing some twelve-year-old girl in Nebraska but eff it!! Pay attention to me!! lol...)

  8. Awww, I heart all you guys!!

    And I'm not so secretly happy that no one else appears to understand the machinations of Top Twilight Blogs. lol.

    @CBA - thanks for the info! That actually makes a tad bit more sense to me now. Not that I actually understand but... ;)

    @Cathie & Atlanta Girl - I'm starting to think you need a phD. in Twiography or something to under how TTB works. Either that or it's some kind of weird magic that, apparently, none of us possess.

    @honolulu girl - That just made my Sunday. Seriously. :)

    Regardless, I was just curious about the abrupt change. I'm more about making you guys laugh than I am about any silly number. Eff Twilight Top Blogs!

  9. I wouldn't know the first thing about that system. All I know is that on the day I found you guys, I looked through half a dozen other Twilight blogs and none of them are as entertaining as yours. Maybe because while you both are diehard Twilight fans, you poke fun at yourselves and add tons of humor into your writing whereas some of the others who blog about Twilight are so freakin' obsessed, it sounds like they would break into Robert Pattinson's home just to steal his dirty drawers, lol. So just remember, whether you're #1 or #80 on the Top Twilight Blogs, you're #1 with many of us. :)

  11. Thanks for posting this. I've just joined the world of Twilight blogs and signed up for both Top Sites and Top Blogs and I've had no idea how it works. I felt so sad because google analytics was telling me I was getting hits, but my blog position didn't move. It's good to know it's only monthly.

    Also to Cathie - Top Sites hasn't approved me, I feel totally rejected. :(

    So thanks for posting - atleast now I know I'm not the only one who has no clue how it works.

  12. @ Just Erin - Don't feel bad! I don't think anyone can figure them out! lol.

    And I think we signed up for a couple that denied us too... buncha jerks.
