What an exciting month this has been for the movements on the UK Waterways Ranking Site
There was a "momentous shift of the blogosphere on its axis" first reported by Sarah in her Chertsey: New top dog blog.
With her self confessed unhealthy obsession with the UK Waterways Ranking Site she was the first to report that Sue's No Problem Blog had overtaken Andrew's Granny Buttons Blog. |  |
The first graph shows their scores and how close they've been recently. The second graph enlarges the critical area.
These have been the top two bloggers on UKWRS for some time and, after coming close on two occassions Sue finally overtook Andrew on 23rd January and, after maintaining top blog position for a few days has dropped back to second place again.
The biggest recorded difference came on Tuesday 25th January with No Problem (5181) leading Granny Buttons (5057) by 124 Hits. |  |
Sarah's own scores for Chertsey have been up and down too.
I had previously reported on Chertsey’s scores in April this year, along with several others.
Now I can help support Sarah's "unhealthy obsession" with the scores by showing her own progress with Chertsey. |  |
During the month I had an email from blogger Neville Wells asking to see the scores for his Waterlily Blog. Well here it is, the ups and downs of Waterlilly.
The large spike on 7 May 2010 seems to have been caused by a mention of David Milliband. It's amazing what a difference a single post can sometimes make although, with a 7-day score it doesn't affect the long term trend.
Just ask if you'd like your own blog shown. |  |
And what about Takey Tezey where Heth seems to have the greatest of story lines, from crew abandoning ship to having her recognition stolen?
The good news is that it doesn;t seem to have affected the hits very much, if at all. The peak before Christmas was cause by the cliff hanger story line, and it was bound to drop a little after that.
Will the blog continue? |  |
And finally, look at the jump in our own socres.
From a previous best of 1961 and several attempts to break the 2000 barrier we suddenly break the 3000 barrier with 3003.
Our own webstats reveal the coming together of three things have caused this sudden peak.
> Blogs about the Droitwich Canals
> Blogs about Maps, expecially the Droitwich Canals
> A mention on Sue's No Problem as she hit the top spot
I hadn't realised there was such an interest in maps and the Droitwich Canals.
I think it's been a freak occurrence and, in the next day or two, I'll be back down below 2000 in the more usual position.
Please note that a technical probelm with UKWRS meant that the scores for everyone weren't being counted correcly during Sunday 30th January so the scores shown for 31st January are rather lower than normal, and will be for 7 days altogether. As it affected everybody the same way the relative positions in the ranking are still relevant. Thanks to Tony Blews for fixing it so quickly after I reported the problem and for running the wonderful site. |  |
