Enhance your website with RSS/Web directories!
Spotplex provides real-time ranking of blog articles based on actual impression count. The site doesn't list articles people recommended or voted for, but rather lists articles read the most in a given timeframe. Though focused on articles, the site has blog standings showing the top blogs in a 24-hour period. Blog articles are grouped by categories and tags.
Bloggers copy and paste code from Spotplex into their blogs and can track and analyze their blog traffic with the code's help. They learn how many people visit the blog, which articles people read most and how many people read them. Whenever an article of the blog is read, it will show up at Spotplex in real-time and get noticed by Spotplex users.
Spotplex also has a customizable widget where you select the features you want and then paste the code on a web site where the widget displays popular articles, latest articles and new articles from your own blog or from the Spotplex community.
To submit your feed to Spotplex, requires joining Spotplex and posting code in your blog. When a reader reads an article in your blog, the code notifies Spotplex and the article appears on Spotplex with a view counter reflecting the change. Currently, registration is by invitation only. However, if you enter your email address on the "Get your Spotplex code" page (no direct link) and the site will notify you when it's out of beta and accepting new entries.

BlogToplist.com is a blog directory sorted by the score each blog earns during the week. The list resets to zero when the week starts over (Monday 00:00 CMT), so new blogs have a chance to get to the top.
Here is how the scoring works: 50 percent of the score each blog get comes from the votes that are sent from the blog. 35 percent of the score comes from the amount of visitors the blog has and the last 15 percent comes from the rating that the readers provide through Blog Toplist's list. The blogs ranked at the top are the best, most visited or receives the most votes from its readers.
The site offers many ways to discover new blogs and entries through its directory, which sorts blogs by category. Or you can view all the blogs by rank regardless of category. Each blog comes with statistics including unique visitors, incoming links and outgoing links. One of Blog Toplist's unique features is RSS articles, which lets you browse articles by topic. This is a great way to find articles about a topic of interest rather than be limited to blogs of the topic.

After registering your blog, you receive a HTML code in the form of a small button to put on your blog. This button tracks unique visitors to the blog and displays will your blog's current rank in your category if you're in top 99.
