Blog Olympics - Round 5



Logo courtesy of Carrie of Cze-Johnson Fever

Welcome to Round 5 of the Blog Olympics.

A champion blogger has made their mark on the blogosphere. Do you have presence?


I have above average presence in the blogosphere. How do I know? I looked it up here: MarketLeap

First I typed my URL where it says: Enter your URL here:, I entered bmiers.blogspot.com, no http:// in front of it. Then I typed in the access code shown on the screen, then pressed the orange button that said GENERATE REPORT. On the next page there was a report with my URL listed that said I had 7,054 listings in search engines. What is your presence?

Note: Blogger blogs do not have a www in the URL

Use this format:

7,054

Please check a few times and get your highest score. No need to check the blogger above you.

The higher your number, the better chance you have at winning.

The top 10% of Olympic blogs (those with the most presence) will win a gold medal.

The bottom 10% of Olympic blogs (those with the least presence) will win a bronze medal.

All other Olympic blogs participating in this round will win a silver medal.

Your comment must be posted by 10:00 AM EST, Thursday, January 27, 2006.

Please use the blog that you used in the previous rounds. Good luck!

killired - Check again - the Yahoo number fluctuates - they must time how long they wait for a response from each search engine.

2,184

but then I did it again (for fun) and got different # of 1,148 and then I did it again (still having fun I guess) and it defaulted to using the www and came back with 2,184.

47 Is that right? When I tried to doublecheck, it said I had hit my maximum number of queries today...so maybe the next person could doublecheck for me...?

I am playing putting in different URL from blogs I read and they are truly different. Some are high with www and others are not. Then I went back and plugged mine in again and it was different with 990 or something like that??

Sorry to be a pest. Don't want cub reporter daisy needing to deal with an appeal of the results or something like that.

I did mine with just three-part-harmony.com and only came up with msn hits which gave me the 1,581. If I put in three-part-harmony.com/heartsongs I get hits on everything but msn getting 613. So I guess I'm saying the accuracy of it is somewhat questionable depending on what you put in.

Yeah, maybe 'cuz it's "live", but I went back and plugged my URL again 15 minutes later and received a different, lower number. Just food for thought.

Mary - I tried yours and got 2 without WWW and 4 with, or was it the other way around?

I also tried the athlete/blogger ahead of me in comments as per the rules (note that please commissioner) and I also get different scores.

I guess it doesn't really matter from looking at the other results, but our blog has changed urls, so I typed in both:

www.zenosbarandgrill.blogspot.com = 3

www.isabellapenn.blogspot.com = 8

I think either way or added together I'm getting a bronze on this one.

Ugh, my internet was down this morning and I had to get to work (aka a conference) early this am.

I was out early anyway. Only 79 on my report.
