No one is more geeky then the crew here at Cell Phones.org, and there are a bunch of geek blogs out there that we love to read. We were curious which of these blogs have the biggest audience, so we decided that we would objectively measure the results.

Data was compiled from three sources:

We then took these scores, created a baseline (see our methodology below), and created our own Geek Rankâ„¢.

Methodology:

To qualify, a blog first had to appear on the first 10 pages of a Google Search for Geek Blogs, be recommended to us by one of our readers, or already be in our feed readers.

We then took data from Google Page Rank, Alexa Traffic and Technorati Authority to form Geek Rank. Alexa Traffic and Technorati Authority our normalized and brought down to a scale relative to PageRank, so that they could be added equally.

For blogs with no Page Rank, Alexa Rank or Authority Rank, a 0 was scored in that category.

For ties (and there were a few), Editor’s discretion prevailed.

Hey! Thanks for the link!

Alexa isn’t really relevant anymore when it comes to measure the popularity of a website though..

Cheers!
