How are top posts calculated?

We have never revealed the details because as soon as we did there would be people who would game the system to make their posts the top ones constantly. So keeping it secret ensures a level playing field for all.

Frankly, once you put something in the Top Posts it stays there anyway because people keep clicking on it. There’s very little variation in the Top Posts list.

I’ve been wondering how you select various blogs to showcase. It does make since that you would have to keep it a secret. Please continue to do that, because people have a way of manipulating everything. Don’t end up like Google and Yahoo where for money, one can gain the highest rank.
Please check out my blog, maybe it can be featured and get some hits I desperately need :-) Everyone else too. Thanks. itsourrrealitymagazine.wordpress.com
I have a website with the same name.

Do a forum search for blog promotion and related keywords. Posting “please read my blog” is not going to be as effective as most of the tips you’ll find. There are dozens of threads.

I dont think it is all page views, because when you are on the dashboard and it shows the top posts right now, the hawt post is not always right at the top.

And if its the widget, it would simply be page views. Thats how mine are calculated, even though I no longer use the widget
