With my blogs getting the smack down from Google I was really concerned about my page rank going from a 3 to a big fat 0. I also watched my opps for good money fade into the darkness. One bright light at the end of the tunnel was the introduction of Real Rank. With Real Rank your Blog Ranks are gathered by using the number of visitors to your site not the index that Google gives it. Even though my page rank is in the toilet my Real Rank is still good because of the number of visitors to my site daily. Thanks guys for coming back to Corner everyday to see the craziness in the world. You can check your weekly average daily so you can stay on top of things on your own terms.
The data is pulled using a piece of code you embed in your blog. The system uses the following formula to get your Real Rank: 70% daily unique visitors, 20% daily active inbound links and 10% daily page views. So as you can see it is solely based on your blogs performance and not on some phantom algorithm. So sign up and get ranked by the traffic of your site not by a toolbar or an algorithm
