I am happy to announce that we have launched IZEARanks. A new blog-only ranking service that is based on actual site data. http://www.izearanks.com
The code generator under "account" and the ITK thing is very buggy. It puts a second site with a blank name below the site I submitted when I click on the "public" checkbox. I also can't get any ITK code after validating.
I'm 100% behind the idea of RealRanks, but have seen nothing but problems with it thus far. Since you started this thread, Murphman can you explain why less tahn 10% of your posties have signed up for RealRank so far?
This rank still doesn't show ranks for great blogs like Problogger and Skellie. Some blogs which don't write paid posts did not register for this new ranking system as well.
