September ’12 – NZ blogs sitemeter ranking
I understand, from the feedback I get, some people use this NZ Blog Ranking list as an aid in browsing NZ Blogs. Another argument to include your blog here?
Every month I get queries after posting these rankings. Some people are checking for mistakes. Others are wanting their own blog included. I am happy to respond to queries but have prepared a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) people can check out. Have a look at NZ Blog Rankings FAQ.
Here are the rankings of New Zealand blogs with publicly available statistics for September 2012. Please note, the system is automatic and relies on blogs having sitemeters which allow public access to the stats. There are now over 270 blogs on the list, although I am weeding out those which are no longer active or have removed public access to sitemeters.
I have listed the blogs in the table below, together with monthly visits and page view numbers for September, 2012.
Meanwhile I am still keen to hear of any other blogs with publicly available sitemeter or visitor stats that I have missed. Contact me if you know of any or wish help adding publicly available stats to your bog.

HI Ken
Interesting ratings for September.
I suspect it would be way beyond your resources but there’s a stat over and above visits and page views that gives an alternative interpretation of the data that interests me. It occurred to me from looking at a number of blogs above me that had no content for the month of September, at least one that’s posted nothing for over six months – I assume it’s robots or some such going to those accounts. Also, by way of example, if I have a solid readership of, say, five people, and I post one post today, then I’ll have five visits. If another blog also has a solid readership of five, but posts ten posts today, then their blog will show 50 visits to my five, even though we have exactly the same readership.
So I’d be very interested in a stat which gives visits divided by posts for the month, as a way of really assessing likely readership. (Also, that would allow all divide by zeros to be taken out for a month when they had no content).
As I said, you wouldn’t have the resources, but if I get time I might run the numbers for the top twenty blogs to compare to my own ….
Cheers for keeping the rankings.
Regards Mark
An old post can easily be read by human beings, who would have found it through search or links elsewhere. Posts don’t have to be recent to be read by people 🙂
Yeah, I wasn’t sure if that was the point or not – since it was obviously false. One of my posts is two years old and makes up a significant fraction of my total from web searches and facebook shares etc.
I do see that point also, but I was simply thinking that stat still has a relevance regarding comparing total readership of blogs, vis a vis the ‘day’ example I gave.
Anyway, it’s irrelevant, Ken replied on his own blog, there would be no way he’d have the resources to give that information anyway 🙂
ah, tricky. Extra points for using vis a vis in a sentence though 🙂
