While it's not exactly winning "American Idol" or "Dancing With The Stars," making the Blog Net News most influential list is still a big deal to us lonely bloggers who are never really sure if anyone reads what we have to say. There's bragging rights at stake here and I'm sure everyone will be checking the list each Monday to see if they've moved up or down.
How you get on the list is a closely-guarded secret.
The Pennsylvania Blogosphere Influence Rating combines a variety of data sets "to determine which blogs are most powerfully influencing the direction of the Pennsylvania political blogosphere," according to the site.
The exact method BlogNetNews.com uses to calculate influence scores must remain proprietary in order to prevent attempts to "game the system," according to BlogNetNews administrators.
"BlogNetNews.com's methodology takes into account the fact that all Internet data is profoundly limited in its reliability by using multiple data sets that, when combined, reveal a fair picture of activity in the blogosphere," according to the site.

Blog Net News plans to make the Most Influential List a weekly feature, with the winners announced every Monday.
You can also choose other states to see what the leading bloggers in those states are writing about. BlogNetNews.com also offers you an opportunity to pick from the top Conservative and Liberal sites in each state and readers can also vote on their favorite blogs.
Speaking of favorites, Tony Phyrillas has been ranked the most popular blog in Pennsylvania every week for the past three months by readers of on BlogNetNews.com. I'd like to thank everyone who has voted for me.
Sorry, Mom, you can only vote once a day. BlogNetNews.com keeps track of an average daily score of each blog and a cumulative score for the week.

Way to go with the ranking. Nice to be in your company too. Would love a blog link if you can spare an extra for a Libertarian on the western side of PA. http://Rauterkus.blogspot.com.
I'm very excited about our home-grown candidate for President in 2008 -- Dr. Ron Paul. He too hails from our neck of the woods.
