You work hard on your blog researching and posting every day but how does it compare to others in your industry? You can check it out at Blog Juice.

The Blog Juice calculator is a free tool that will provide you with valuable information about the value of your blog or website, and it’s popularity in relation to similar sites.

I put in our Young Entrepreneur blog and we got a Blog Juice score of 3.3.

The score you get is determined by looking at how you rank in Technorati, Alexa, and Bloglines as well as how many direct links you have to your site.

Bloglines accounts for 40% of your score (YE is 48), Alexa accounts for 15% of your score (YE is 27,040), Technoratiy accounts for 30% of your score (YE is 64,717) and direct links account for the final 15% of your score (YE has 159 links).

While the scoring model might not be perfect it does give you an indication of how you are doing compared to your competition. The tool will also show you the competitors who are slightly ahead of you and slightly below you. J

ust above us, for example, is wolf-howl.com with a 3.4 BlogJuice and just below is pulverblog.pulver.com with a 3.2 BlogJuice.

You can also pick a category to find other blogs that are in your industry. There wasn’t one on entrepreneurship so the closest one for Young Entrepreneur would be Computer / Technology or Money / Finance.

Finally, BlogJuice gives you the option to compare your blog against someone else’s if you have a specific one in mind that you want to match up in a head-to-head analysis.

What is your BlogJuice score?
