BlogFlare.com Gets PageRanked At 5
January 29th, 2007 | by Scott Weaver |Just a quick update. Recently, a friend of mine checked the Google Pagerank score of BlogFlare.com and told me it had been ranked a 5/10! This is excellent news.
I am concerned though; for a few days there, BlogFlare was down due to some DNS issues. But it’s back up now, and with a vengeance! In fact, today BlogFlare reached 200 blogs — a new record! 
For now, I’m watching the site carefully and thinking of new ways to fine-tune the algorithm that generates the statistics. Right now, the update for all of the stats in the database takes well over five minutes every hour. That number will not improve unless I do something about it.
I have a hunch that the best solution is to upgrade to MySQL 5.0 and convert the algorithm to a server-side Stored Procedure that will execute every hour. This would drastically decrease execution time, I believe.
There’s only one way to find out.

Hello
I was checking out your blog and I really like it. I am fairly new to blogging but I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind linking to each others blog to increase traffic and exposure to each others blog?
