Posting some messages with 140 characters is more effective when linked to a blog. Write something interesting for your followers in your blog and cross-promote it on Twitter. This increases web traffic and is preferred by search engines when your traffic increases. You would direct the readers from Twitter to your blog though concise, short messages with that persuade followers to click on these links.

This month, the Power 150 list had to change their ranking system due to being shut out by the PostRank API which scored social engagement on latest posts. They now are only counting Twitter tweets and Facebook likes from the latest five posts in a blog’s feed – comments, stumbles on StumbleUpon, bookmarks on Delicious, Google +1′s, LinkedIn shares, and other pieces of social proof are all out the window. This has hit some blogs hard, taking them from their spots in the top 50 to pages 2 and beyond, and led to distrust in the AdAge system.
But what do those numbers really look like in the raw? Being the statistics junkie I am, I thought I would take a peak into those numbers. Here’s what I found, along with some other stats I like to use to measure the strength of a blog when doing a little competitive analysis (note that Twitter followers, Facebook fans, Klout, and RSS subscribers do not count towards the Power 150 rankings).

The controversy over the selection of users and Robert Scoble’s public request to be removed from the list brought up three important points for me, which I think we can all learn from.
