Are they listening, or are they giving GA & I the same credit Red Maryland and Mikel Schwartz, (LOL) have been playing with? The fact that Mike is now all the way down to #16 means someone is listening to something because that's where he belongs right now.
So ALL of you know. It was not my/our intent to cross post. GA was not in the blogging arena for quite some time and I offered to have him come on board here so he could relax more and simply post whenever he wanted to. The idea was a good one and I'm glad everyone is enjoying it.
Nevertheless, the rating system is flawed and we just proved it this week having GA, (Delmarva Dealings) and I #2 & #3. What say you now Mikel?

Some of us have known the system was flawed for a long time now, and was being manipulated with crossposts. When Blognetnews initiated the system they did not realize its vulnerabilities as they figured a link to another blog was someone showing to their readers something they found to be interesting or of note. Linking the same exact post on two sites is hardly pointing out a good post worthy of reading. Of course some of my posts are worth reading twice but I am content to let them be read from the same site. Anyway the head of BNN told me months ago they were working on a fix. While I am surprised at the time it took I knew it was coming. I don't know why you take what happened out on BNN, it is not their fault from what I know of the whole issue.
In reality while BNN calls these blogs the most influential, it has nothing to do with influence. A blog can only be influential if people are willing to listen and heed advice given. Most certainly while touted as a statewide influence most of these blogs don't even come close, but are focused on what happens in their locality. As local news from Salisbury is of no interest to me, or Anne Arundel County politics to you is there really any influence if I read a post on your blog?
Regardless of all that, we shall see if the system is fixed once and for all, because I know how frustrating it is when you work hard at something only to be gamed out of credit.
For a worthless ranking you two have been the biggest crybabies about it.
Notice when you complain the rating goes up for a week and then falls back.
BTW, David, do you believe crossposting at AA Politics will help your rating?
Guys, seriously consider getting a life and don't worry about a meaningless rating which is no indicator of influence or anything else of value.
