Very cool Hank. Thanks for putting this together again. I know how time consuming it must be. Can you elaborate on how pankrank affects a site’s position on the quadrant?

Since the release of the first quadrant, I’ve seen my site shoot up from a PR of N/A to 4 which was pretty exciting, although not all that meaningful in the big picture….

So I’ve gotten a few emails and clearly a couple posts here from folks that don’t want to wait till next quarter to see where they fall on the scale -

Soooo for the introductory offer of $0.00, I will gladly add anyone to this list that leaves a comment here or contacts me in the next 24 hours and repost the image and link @ 7pm(Pacific Standard Time) on April 2, 2008.

@Ciaran – thanks for the stumble!

@FFB – very possible.

@Pinyo – Your blog is just fine. Like I said, there is absolutely NO problem with ANY of the quadrants in the square. They’re all just computations based on site statistics. Within the quadrants themselves, there is no hierarchy either.

Like I said for the most part companies are always trying to get in the “top right” corner, but that’s just because most CEOs are visionaries/leaders themselves, and they want to be perceived as such. Additionally as a whole most business leaders are very type “D” dominant (see what a DISC profile is) in their role as business leaders.

I for example personally fall in the “i” category of the DISC profile meaning I’m verbal/enthusiastic/optimistic type person, so I persoanlly would “like” to fall into the visionary realm as opposed to a leader. Others may feel like they’re more suited to fall in the challenging or niche-player realm because they don’t want the spotlight or care to be forward thinkers; they may be just peachy sitting where they’re at.

So all in all, there is no bad place to be, ALL have their benefits…

@Pete/PT/DFRevolution – See my next entry after this.
