Inbound.org has no shortage of awesome. I can’t think of a platform that has helped me find more authors, and led me to as much excellent content. Not only is it a fantastic conduit, it has this little thing called community, which provides for some excellent conversation.
Do you know how you, or your blog ranks on Inbound.org?
Before you jump in, this is how I arrived at the following rankings. First, I visited Inbound’s “All Time” list and with a little scraping, a lot of manual mucking around, and a weighting “formula” I put two lists together: “Must Follow Authors” and “Must Follow Blogs.”
The first, “Must Follow Authors” uses two weightings: “top 100 count” and “total comments.” Top 100 count refers to how many posts were found in the top 100 for any single author. We first ranked you based on this. Next, we ranked you based on total (we went 2000 posts deep), comments received to date.
