Three months after I started drivebyshooter.net, I posted an entry on ways to check blog growth. That was sparked by Abe’s post on 5 Ways to Check Blog Growth.
That happened almost three months ago - and now that I’ve (almost) hit the half-year mark, I’m putting another notch on the kitchen door.

Father Abraham may have started it, but it looks like the job of tracking the Top 100 Philippine Blogs is no longer his. He’s passing that torch to Andrew de la Serna.
You see, Andrew has taken Father Abraham’s top 100 list and given it a mind of its own. No longer manually updated, his new list is “electro-charged by über-geeky Technorati data sprinkled with Feedburner stats.” On top of that, his new list boasts of its own site.
Yes, Ratified.org, is the new place to see just where you stand in the Philippine Blogosphere.
Now, while I’m happy things are now automated, I’m also sad. I’m sad because I’m not in the top 100. I’m sad because according to Ratified.org, my Technorati rank has dropped 124 spots since yesterday. I’m sad because I’m not sure if Ratified.org is tracking my FeedBurner stats.
It’s ok though. I’m currently hovering just outside the top 100. I hope I can break in sometime soon.

Remember my Link Love 2007.02.06 post? Remember the one that highlighted blogs produced by UA&P-IMC students? Remember that I said it was a class project? Remember that I described it as an SEO contest? Remember? Well, we’re talking about a contest, so I’m sharing what I believe are the criteria for judging.

After reading Abe’s post on ways to check blog growth, I almost immediately went to check my own site statistics. You see, this blog is just over three months old - and I think this is a good time to mark this site’s progress.
Yes, I’ve got archives dating back to 2003, but that’s because I imported all my posts from my old Blogger address. I admit, the built-in content helped my blog grow a bit faster, but I’m pretty sure my newer posts matter more than my archives.
I admit, I tried checking some of these stats back in November. I didn’t get much though. I had no Alexa ranking, no Google Page Rank, no subscribers, nothing, nil, nada. I checked again a few weeks later - and cried.
Fine, I’m exaggerating - I didn’t cry. I did get discouraged though. I decided to forget about obsessing about my stats and just keep writing. Yes, I installed Site Meter and eventually started tracking with Google Analytics, but I still ignored my site rankings - that is, until I read Abe’s post. Now I know where I stand, and I’m publishing it for all to see.
