I think these days a lot of sites / blogs show all of these kinds of stats and I guess the real measure of success is what is important to the site owner. For me, my rss numbers are my most important metric. I've seen other people desperate to break a certain rank on Technorati. Its a very personal thing. I agree that PageRank is useless.

The User Voting got you 2 places higher than you were - I think User Voting adds a really good dimension. Do you want a copy of the script? OK;

PR4 = you’d be 10th
PR5 = you’d be 9th

If you had higher PR, you'd be top 10, perhaps even top 5. I'll manipulate the database as it would be interesting to see how your site would stack up with a PR5 say. “Blog Ratings 2.0″

This tells me whether the content sucks, or if it's turning some of those uniques into regulars. It's not perfect, but it's the best solution for my needs :eek: RSS subscribers are definately one of the more accurate ways of measuring success, however, I prefer to count the number of unique visitors and returning visitors to my sites.

What I meant there is that a site can have 10,000,000 pages and not have even PR <strong>showing</strong> in the toolbar. You are correct to say that a site with that many pages would build a certain level of PR because of the dampening factor/natural PageRank. Even when that happens, it doesn't show in the toolbar until Google exports toolbar PageRank. The site would have some PR, but there wouldn't be a way to prove it. Hey Georgia!

However, when I installed it on some other sites it really didn't have the same effect. I personally believe now that it has the same effect as Alexa redirect URLs, meaning that the widget has to be clicked on. Any effect other than that is likely coincidence.
