Its been ages since i visited my own humble little creation, the Great Malaysian Blog List (GMBL - pronounced "gamble" by some friends). Normally i just do enough each day to approve new requests, update & backup the database. I haven't actually taken some time to study the statistics and reports. If anyone is remotely interested to see what i see, please download this file (5kb, .txt).
Relevant stats:
* 567 blogs listed in the VOI Blog Directory
* 393 blogs listed in the GMBL
* Most blogs are from Kuala Lumpur (87)
* The Northern and East Coast states (Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu) have the fewest blogs between them (8 in total)
Log file stats reveal:
* Most visitors to the GMBL click on the "What's New" page and follow the new links there. *TIP: All new blogs are marked as "New" for 14 days. If your blog has been in the GMBL for a while, and you would like to "refresh" your listing to be marked as "New" again, simply "Modify" your account with all the same information. I've noticed a few canny bloggers doing that so their blogs are always marked "New".
* "Popular" blogs just keep on getting more popular e.g. Hani's Honey - visited 621 times from the GMBL. But having said that, its interesting to note that blogs that have an interesting description seem to pick up a lot of hits very quickly.
An interesting surprise is how my own blog, the Volume of Interactions has slowly crept up the "Top Rated" blogs - 8.15 from 55 votes! :)
