Top blogs/ Fastest Growing blogs/ Top posts

    skcsknathanc(whew, that's quite a handle!), The answer to your question is yes. I write on two blogs. Posts from both blogs have, every once in a while, appeared on the top posts listing at the same time.

    And Andy, that's a great point and a very nice reality check: the top posts/blogs listing is a good place to go to see what's up on WordPress. Better still, though, is the new related tags feature, which I've been playing around with and have used already to find some nice sites. Thanks for that.

    Andy is actually the coolest of the cool today with the top post.

    Cleaning up un-needed code is a favorite of many of us, apparently.

    skcsknathan001: BOTD does not prevent two of a user's blogs from appearing in one list. BOTD does not store any data about the user.

    It does prevent two of a blog's posts from appearing in one list.

    Im sure that BOTD works incorrectly. I know some other blogs with lower traffic, less posts or comments than my blog but they are listed in BOTD and mine has never ever listed in BOTD or Fastest Growning (Im mentioning about "vi" BOTD not "en"). (My blog bmw7.wordpress.com has about 300 visitors per day, and nearly 1.000 hits in first month created).

    So, i don't know how BOTD works, who can tell me?

    Is is happens with users who have many blogs?

    Not all popular blogs generate comments; some kinds of people are commentors, and some aren't and they're attracted by different kinds of blogs.

    I don't think I made it into the top blogs with fewer than 500 hits.

    Hmmm... have never made top blogs but I have on occasions (I think 2-3 times) made top the top 100 in English, which at the same time was great and admittedly a little asburd :)

    BLOGLILY,

    What ANDY said contradicts what you said

    "It does prevent two of a blog's posts from appearing in one list."

    Anyhow, thanks guys.

    I'm sorry sksknathan. That wasn't at all clear. What I meant is that I write two entirely different blogs (different names, different sites). When you do that, your posts on the different sites may end up on the BOTD listing. What Andy is talking about, I think, is that only one post at a time from the SAME blog might be on the BOTD listing.

    But Andy's larger point remains the same: have fun, don't worry about where you are on that listing, but use it as a tool to find interesting blogs.

    my other blog "1kavithai" got 107 views yesterday only. Total hits passed 1,200. Yet this blog is not listed in any top/fast growing posts/blogs. Only my other blog "1paarvai" is listed, even in Blogs of the day, which has top 11 blogs!

    Finally, a post from another blog of mine showed up on Top Posts. This blog I created yesterday and got 19 views. I guess this sudden rise made it appear. Weird method to calculating TOPs ha.

    another post from my 3rd blog got listed in the TOP POSTS section. It only had 1 click!
