Joel’s toying with the idea of The Association of Unaffiliated Bibliobloggers. Of course, the irony is, once you join you are associated and 5 years later you will likely become so big that you will partner with SBL. And so, like the television series LOST, a continuous cycle of blogging organizations will continue.

It’s official! After only three months on the biblioblog scene, my blog is officially certified as a Top 50 biblioblog! Of the 472 current biblioblogs, my blog ended as the 25th most read for the month of July.
The whole biblioblog Top 50 recognition is indeed a lot of fun, but what’s most important is that in three months I have greatly enjoyed theologizing with many of you. To those of you who are frequent readers but infrequently comment on my blog, I look forward to continually serving you by posting various theological topics for your enrichment.
There has been an interesting conversation going on at How Big Is Yours?, a blog I posted yesterday about daily statistics on the blogosphere. Ken Brown in particular brought up a few interesting points and has researched just exactly how Alexa’s ratings are tabulated (this is according to Alexa’s FAQ’s):
Alexa’s traffic rankings are based on the usage patterns of Alexa Toolbar users and data collected from other, diverse sources over a rolling 3 month period. A site’s ranking is based on a combined measure of reach and pageviews. Reach is determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single pageview. The site with the highest combination of users and pageviews is ranked #1.
So the questions are, is Alexa’s system suspect and should it be used? Or do you find that many people do indeed have the Alexa toolbar installed and so its a good way to evaluate statistics? OR, is all this really a ploy from Alexa to get people to install the toolbar, and truth be told the toolbar doesn’t really matter?
Okay Top 50 bibliobloggers (and those not in the top 50 if you want to embarrass yourself), this is a chance for you to demonstrate to the blogosphere how big yours is, daily stats that is.
I and the many other Top 50 wanna-bes want to know what it takes statistically to achieve such great status. This is in honor of me today breaking my personal record of the most amount of pageviews I’ve ever had in one day. Of course, one way of measuring is at alexa.com, but that doesn’t translate over into page views per day which doesn’t help in goal setting.
So 2 questions, if you are so daring and unashamed to answer, (1) What is the highest number of views you’ve ever received?, and (2) What is, generally speaking, your average number of pageviews per day?
