Methodology

We currently combine four different measurements to rank the top engineering blogs:

	- Technorati's Authority rating
	- The number of inbound links reported by Yahoo!
	- The number of monthly visitors reported by Quantcast

The blogs are ranked for each measurement and then receive a score based on their ranking, with the maximum possible score being equal to the number of blogs in the list.

For a list of 100 engineering blogs, for example, the blog with the most Bloglines subscribers would receive 100 points, the next would receive 99 points, etc. The scores for each measurement are then combined to get the total score.

Show Off Your Ranking

We have two different badges you can add to your site to show off your ranking. Click your blog's Total to get the code for your site.

How Do I Improve My Ranking?

Right now we only have traffic data for a very small percentage of these blogs, causing a jam at the bottom of that category. By simply signing up with Quantcast and adding their code to your site, you'll automatically jump ahead of the blogs who haven't when Quantcast starts reporting your numbers.

Additionally, Quantcast tends to drastically underestimate traffic for sites that they aren't tracking directly, so even if they do have stats for your blog, those stats could double if you add their code.

How Do I Add a Blog to the Top 100?

If you know of a blog that meets these criteria, we'd love to have it in this list:

Focused primarily on engineering.
Posted to regularly for at least the last two months.
Hosted on a dedicated domain or subdomain. (Regrettably, we can't accurately calculate traffic for blogs in a subdirectory.)

Just email us at topblogs@engineerjobs.com, and we'll get it added right away!
