Is this a list of the best blogs in Indonesia?

No, this ranking system measures how much reach each blog has, and how “important” each blog is.

How are the rankings determined?

1. Google Page Rank - a judgement of the importance of each page on the internet according to the number and quality of links it has from other pages, on a scale of 0 to 10 (higher number is better).
2. Yahoo Backlinks - the number of pages on the internet on other sites that have a link to a blog’s home page (higher number is better).
3. Bloglines RSS Subscribers - the number of people who subscribe to each blog’s RSS feed using Bloglines as their feed reader.
4. Del.icio.us Social Bookmarks - the number of times a blog’s home page has been bookmarked at Del.icio.us.
5. Technorati Blog Rank - a ranking of the importance of blogs based on the number and quality of links each blog has from other blogs (lower number is better).
6. Alexa Traffic Rank - a ranking of sites based on how many visitors they have received in the past three months (lower number is better).
