    Hi

    I will have sponsors for those who create blogs on my mu site. (There's a free option and a supported paid option). In order for the sponsors to know how well their sponsored blog is doing I though that it will be nice to rank these blogs dynamically.

    The can be ranked by:
    1) Number of posts in the last month.
    2) Number of posts in the last 3 or 6 or 12 months or all time.
    3) There Alexa and
    4) Page Rank.

    This will help me and the sponsor to monitor and decide if the sponsorship should continue or not.

    I could not find anything specifically for MU regarding 3) and 4). And nothing as specific as 1) and 2).

    Do you know of anything that I can use or are there other people who needs this and those who can create such a tool?

    Regards

    Johan

    It would have to be specially coded. #1 & 2 are relatively easy, 3-4 a bit more diffucult (to me anyway)

    actually andrea I think a plugin for 3 and 4 already exists for wordpress dashboards at least, the only problem being they poll google and alexa each time they need to get that data, and if you're trying to pool results from a swarm of 1000+ blogs you're not bound to be met with lightning fast pageloads.

    Really? Cool, then.

    And ouch. Yeah. That's the part I figured would be "hard".

    Johan,

    Remind me to send you that check for all the good publicity! Thanks for the kind words, and feel free to delete this post for I know it is totally off-topic and for that I'm sorry. Just can't let a good deed go unpunished.
