Strongest blogs in Malaysia

By alang on April 08, 2007, 09:47 PM

Senarai ini adalah berdasarkan dari 50 Most Influential Blogs in Malaysia oleh Sabahan.com dimana beliau menggunakan Technorati Ranking sebagai pengukur untuk menentukan blog manakah yang paling kuat pengaruhnya. Saya cuba menganalisa blog-blog di Malaysia ini menggunakan kaedah Page Strength yang saya rasakan lebih bertepatan kerana ia mengambil kira pelbagai faktor termasuk google backlink, yahoo backlink, keyword ranking, alexa ranking, technorati ranking dan sebagainya. Anda boleh membaca lebih lanjut tentang Page Strength di sini http://www.seomoz.o...dp/page-strength-faq

Saya menganalisa kesemua 50 blogs yang disenaraikan oleh Sabahan.com dan menambah beberapa lagi blog ada dalam senarai saya. Ranking tertinggi untuk Page Strength ini adalah 10 / 10 manakala ranking terendah ialah 0 / 10. Untuk senarai ini, saya mengambil ranking 3 / 10 sebagai ranking minimum untuk sesebuah blog dikategorikan sebagai “strongest blogs”

Saya faham yang senarai di atas jauh dari lengkap dan jika anda mempunyai atau menemui blog yang mempunyai page strength sekurang-kurangnya 3 / 10, sila maklumkan disini. Untuk menyemak page strength, sila guna tools oleh SEOmoz di http://www.seomoz.org/page-strength/

Update
Setelah menilai semula, saya dapat yang ranking 3 / 10 terlalu rendah dah mudah diperolehi jadi saya meletakkan minimum ranking yang baru ialah 4 / 10 untuk disenaraikan sebagai “Strongest Blogs in Malaysia”.

its interesting that i beat some (a lot in fact) of the blog on a higher rank (higher ’strength’) than me in term of technorati, alexa, etc2..

and when i checked for blogs that are more global + famous (and rank less than 100 in technorati), the results for this blog are no good at all..

i think this is just for SEO, (provided by SEOmoz, well duh..).. some blog have extreme strength on their design (lots of people come and go to check on the design and get inspired) but some other also have super strength on their content (articles, bla3 which will have people who like to debate the topic on their blog to provide a BACKLINK)..

some blog owners just like to exchange link and does not even care to visit the guy he linked..

people with great design might have much2 larger number of unique visits everyday but people don’t tend to provide backlink to them. this shows that the system aren’t very efficient..

i dont think this system is accurate.. (performed by database system, what to expect)..

@ikram_zidane - we don’t have much choice in terms comparing. For me, google pagerank, technorati and alexa ranking alone is not enough. Thats the reason why I am using Page Strength as measurement tool. Yes, this tool is for seo purpose in fact, thats every blogger purpose too right? To rank well in search engine, get more visitors.

@lilian & cjcm - I will adding you blog soon. I just took me few hours to compile this, thanks for sabahan.com to get me started.

Good info. I am writing about this in my blog. ikram_zidane, I disagree that blog design will be one of the main reasons why it attracts traffic. People don’t visit a blog to see the design but to read its content.

One of the most popular blog in the world has a very bland design.

Good info. I am writing about this in my blog. ikram_zidane, I disagree that blog design will be one of the main reasons why it attracts traffic. People don’t visit a blog to see the design but to read its content.

that might be true.. for example these site :-
http://scrapbookyo…ories.myshopify.com/
http://www.happycog.com/

let’s take happycog for example… their content are nothing for us malaysians (their news are all about their event which none of us malaysians would attend), but still they are generating a very significant number of visits by our country alone…

i myself also tend to revisit a greatly designed site for inspiration (even if its in another language, for example http://www.sturzbach.de/ - do you really think i would understand what are they saying ? No right ? so, why do i keep coming back to their site ?

@ein - stultanmuzaffar and paultan is there. As I said above, this list is far from complete. I will add monsterblog and menj, thank you.

@thatjames - I will check your site again.

@ikram - as I said, this tool is for seo to measure how strong your site is for the search engine. Lots of traffic or good design won’t ensure that you will get good rating because lots of factor determine, like age of domain, whether your site listed in dmoz, or get a backlink from .edu or .gov domain. I think we already have a competition to see which blog have a good design and this tool try to look at it on different way. We use this tool a lot in directory industries and I just try to use this tool on blog.

ikram_zidane , you are a web designer and it’s obvious that you visit a website to enjoy the design and you are in the minority.

I can conduct a poll on my blog and ask my visitors why they visit a blog. For sure over 90% percent will say because of the content not the design. I can do it now if you ask me to :)

Let’s not go far and see from the top 50 influential blog lists I created and the strong blogs here, MOST will have a very simple design.

I’ve made more money from my ‘ugly’ websites than the prettier ones.

Why the better looking ones are always at the bottom of the popular blogs list? Because the usability and its content counts more than the design itself.

Jakob Nielsen, the world famous usability guru will have to disagree with you. http://www.useit.com/

Some blogs give away free templates such as yours and their links are included in the footer of all the blogs that use them. It’s not surprising that you got a good Page Strength. And right fully so for http://www.alexallied.com/ and http://www.sapiensbryan.com/ too

Sorry to say that my blogspot domain blog is rank better than my “true” domain itself and how this can be since i don’t updated it so long and just put not worthy read post there.

Let’s not go far and see from the top 50 influential blog lists I created and the strong blogs here, MOST will have a very simple design.

if you have a poll here of that topic, of course 99% will go your way.. why ? because visitors of your site are the one that visit blogs for reading (and searching for info)…

I’ve made more money from my ‘ugly’ websites than the prettier ones.

that’s good for you.. but i dont think it got nothing to do with design… there are differences between interface and art…. and against, that’s just you.. i’ve made lots of money by a well designed site than a ugly one (the ugly one doesn’t even got me a single cent i tell ya), even when the site that is well designed wasn’t intended for any kind of money making (didn’t even have to put any ads, etc2…).

[quote]if you have a poll here of that topic, of course 99% will go your way.. why ? because visitors of your site are the one that visit blogs for reading (and searching for info)…[/quote]

That applies anywhere including here at alang’s blog and it proves the point that majority of people DO NOT visit a website just to look at the design like yourself. Read http://www.useit.com/ to understand my point.

For you to say the following sites are visited by many Malaysian simply because of their design and NOTHING else is misleading. I don’t know where you got the info but I can prove you are wrong because the sites are NOT popular among Malaysian.

For example:
scrapbookyourmemories.myshopify.com/

Visitors from Malaysia ranks at no 22 and more Croatian visits the site than Malaysian

As for http://www.happycog.com. Malaysian is not even in the top 25 five of the top users that is visiting it.

Top five users come from
US 36.5%
UK 10.7%
Canada 6.7%
Japan 4.5%
France 3.9%

The site is more popular among Indonesian and Philipino surfers.

Just because you alone visit a site because you are interested in the design does not mean the majority of Malaysian visit a site for the same reason.

Email me if you’re interested to know how I get this info.

2) Rekaletak yang sesuai dengan konsep yang ditonjolkan serta navigasi yang mudah.
