The Next Website Ranking System is Here

So, tadaaa… here it is: IZEARanks.com. We all have been waiting for a better ranking system after Google PageRank failed or rather penalized many webmasters and Alexa has proven to be easily gamed and manipulated. IZEA Ranks is a tool that ranks bloggers based on actual traffic and hits influence, which is measures on a daily basis and is relative to other blogs’ traffic. Just like IQ test, it measures your blog’s ability and influence together with comparing it to others and providing your overall rank standings.

In order to install the IZEARanks tools on your blog you need to go to IZEARanks.com to get started. Sign up is free, of course. After you have your account activated, you will be able to add a piece of javascript to your blog’s source code, which will collect and report a rank based on actual traffic and hits. Bloggers will have a choice between displaying page views + visitors or just your RealRank. Needless to add that it’s only good for those who have access to their template’s source code, as many bloggers who use free hosts that prevent bloggers from editing the template will not be able to measure their RealRank.

Moreover, I checked and the code for RealRank is different from that of PPP, so if you are concerned about a hit from Google and having your site penalized because you might associate with PayPerPost — don’t worry.

Also, every week $1000 is given away to the Nr. Ranking blog, so this could be a nice way toreward bloggers for their effort of bringing traffic to their blogs.
