Judging Blog - Blog Hunt - help needed

[AjiNIMC]

Hi,

I want to run a blog contest for the business schools. Motive is to encourage blogging among Business school students in India. I want to shortlist 25 blog and give it to the panel of judges. How can I Judge the quality of the blog (approx) in the prelim rounds?

IMO some ways of judging in the prelim round are:-

1) Total Pages in Google (15 %)
2) Total backlinks in Yahoo (link: - site: ) 25%
3) Through techronati links – 5%
4) Voting – 50%

Can I add or delete some factors to it?

Thanks,
AjiNIMC

Some changes can be,

1) Total Posts so far (25 %)
2) Total backlinks in Yahoo (link: - site: ) 15%
3) Through techronati links – 10%
4) Voting – 50% (in a span of 15 days, voting allowed only for 15 days)

Can I add or delete some factors to it? Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Discounting Google backlinks as google only shows a random count. Yahoo shows the complete list.

The url that you have mentioned is calculating the value using technorati links.

And what about content? I think you should give importance of content as well while judging the quality of the blog.
