Is Your Blog Hot or Not?

Posted on March 28, 2006

Jim and James, the guys behind the Hot or Not website, have set up a Hot or Not side for blogs called Blog Hot or Not. To participate a blogger puts the Hot or Not code on their blog. Visitors to the blog can then give the blog a rating from 1 to 10.

2. What is Blog HOT or NOT?
The idea of this site is twofold. One reason is to get some sort of ranking system on weblogs just like we have for people's pictures. The other reason is to create a system that helps weblog writers find an audience, and for that audience to find new weblogs.

The Blog Hot or Not site maintains a list of categories with the highest ranking blogs in each category. Getting on one of these category lists might be a good way for smaller blogs to get noticed. Weblogs.about.com has a page explaining how to add the code to your blog. You can also find tips for adding it to a MySpace, Friendster or Blogger blog here. James Hong, one of the Hot or Not founders, is also a blogger -- and yes, he did remember to put the Blog Hot or Not code on his blog.
