AideRSS Blog: A response on how PostRank works

  • Andy Beal · 11 months ago
    I left a reply for you in the link above (see profile link), but I think you've answered my concerns yourself:

    "And certainly it can be a bit convoluted to understand if you haven’t been provided with the right explanatory examples."

    For you guys to hit the big time, PostRank needs to make sense without the explanations.

    I know you're working to improve things, so I wish you the best of luck!

    I completely agree, and it's something we're working on all the time. It's a slow process, sometimes, since it seems everyone learns differently online. Sometimes text, sometimes graphics, sometimes video...

    That said, no one's completely cracked Google's algorithms, and they're doing alright for themselves. :)

    Until the day we don't need explanations, I guess I've got some job security. :)

    "PostRank scores in the widget and PostRank scores on the website are calculated slightly differently"

    Melle, I think that PostRank absolutely rawks. But I think you can improve it further to make it more useful as part of an enterprise analytics suite.

    A basic rule of measurement is that I should be able to compare results against a baseline. A second rule is that I should be able to replicate the results.

    Right now, it's not easy to do either with PostRank. It would be great if you could tackle this challenge.
