TopGamblingBlogs is up!

BrainstormAfter more hours of work than I care to share, I’ve posted Top Gambling Blogs. This is my first pure content-for-adsense play. I have another 3 similar blog sites queued up to receive a similar treatment.

The idea is that every month, I will list and track the changes in ranking for the top 25 gambling and poker blogs. I get this information through a multi-step method, which I have (mostly) scripted nicely in Python.:

  1. Get the URLs for blogs listed in the first ten pages of results for "gambling blog" and &quot:poker blog" on Google, Yahoo, and Alexa.
  2. Strip all obvious garbage results
  3. Pull Alexa ranks for all of them
  4. Pull Technorati inbound links and inbound blogs for all of them.
  5. Sort them properly.
  6. Test each link, throwing out spam blogs and non-blogs, until I’ve pruned the list to the top 25.
  7. Write short descriptions for each blog.
  8. (next month) Track ranking changes from last week.

It took a while, but I really like how it turned out. I think it is valuable, not spam, and might actually get linked well.
