KZBlog

A new ratings site (call it Kazakhstan’s Alexa has sprung up: Whois1in.kz. Basically it tracks traffic to websites in the Kaznet web-space. However, I’m not sure how they limit that. They were kind enough to send me an invitation. So apparently blogging in English doesn’t really matter as long as your site is related to Kazakhstan in someway.

So down at the bottom of my site you will notice a new badge that looks like this:

I took this screenshot in better days when my overall ranking was 29th of all the sites registered. On that day I had 57 page views and 33 visitors. Checking now, I’ve only had 42 views from 22 visitors so far, and I am ranked a dismal 98th. But I am the 6th most popular blog and considering that among my competitors are a blog service and a blog compiler that takes entries from different blogs and republishes them, I feel pretty good about that.

If you want to register, you can go here. They have a variety of badges to choose from and they all look pretty slick. I also noticed that the badges by default point to the homepage of Whois1in.kz so I advise modifying it to point to your own site’s statistics by replacing the link in the code. Also the link opens in the same page, so I would change the target to “new” or “_blank”.
