The functionality of “Popular blogs” on the blogs page may seem pretty simple on the face, but a peek inside would reveal what an extensive algorithm is put in place to make the most popular blogs more visible.
Making a blog show up in the “Popular Blogs” category requires a balanced weight-age of “likes”, “reads” and “comments”. The right balance of the three factors was required to make that particular blog a popular one. However, initially our algorithm was for overall blogs, i.e. most popular blogs of all time. The only problem with this kind of system was that recently popular blogs were not highlighted.
Well not anymore! Now our popular blogs will show your blogs which have been most liked and commented upon during a week. This will give more visibility to you and your blogs as well as let you know what others are recently reading or are interested in.
