How does the "Top Indian Blogs" actually work???
Yeah I saw this:
http://www.topindianblogs.com/
I couldn't help but wonder what's the methodology being used to prepare this list? Alexa has no value since it requires a browser to have an alexa toolbar, and chances are high that majority of the people don't use alexa. Ones who do are those SEO fellows, followed by marketing guys and something that I heard can be easily manipulated using Alexa rank boosting bots.
I mean, one of the top 3 sites under tech is actually a commercial website offering services like SEO and web hosting and digital marketing. what's up with that????
Reason: yo yo yo
I will also start a topblogs listing. 
Inclusion in it is as cheap as Rs 10k per month. Any takers? 
http://www.topindianblogs.com/ -- Directory of the top Indian blogs, maintained by indiblogger.in. This directory is generated based on IndiRank. If you score better in your indirank, you will rank in those specific top lists which are categorized based on your input about your blog tags during registration.
http://indianbloggers.org/ -- Directory of Top Blogs in India and Most Widely Read Indian Bloggers. The Indian Bloggers Directory is an ongoing effort by Amit Agarwal to showcase the best Indian blogs and bloggers from India. The project is maintained by Amit Agarwal of India Blog School. http://www.labnol.org/about/ . If your blog doesnt appear on this one, you can submit your blog application online through the website http://indianbloggers.org/. If selected, your blog will appear in those top lists based on the category you specify during blog submission. This is more of a pesonal effort by Amit Agarwal.
Hope this clarifies.
As far as our blogs content is unique and interesting, we dont need to worry about this ranking and all. I can see many blogs which are not listed on those lists, but still an entertaining and nice blog.
Where did I say its a matter of being worried? Since when asking a genuine question implies that one is worried? You can see so many blogs that are nice blogs, even better than the ones listed. Isn't that all the reason one would ask that the ranking methodology needs to improve? That's not a lot to ask, yes?
I don't care how this site works...as long as my blog is the top one in the personal category 
very smart
If someone knows the answers, please answer
1. When was this site created?
2. Why was it created? seo strategy? I see that all non-IB links on that page are nofollow
.
Earlier it has PR3, now it reduced to 2
now which one r u talking abt? labnol wala or indirank wala?
The site mentioned by Sorc here is for sure one of IndiBlogger's. See this line at the bottom: -
A product of Scissor Paper Stone (P) Ltd. No dogs were injured during the making of this website.
I was wondering the same. I nearly rolled on the floor when I saw that a photography blogger who had nothing to do with fashion was listed among the top bloggers in Fashion category...
From then, I believe all this is phoney...
It's technological glitch.
Algo has no discretionary power and it just ranked top IR blogs based on the categories as mentioned by the indidividual bloggers.
It's funny that Renie didn't even bother to check if the blogs fit in the stated categories
i think it has more to do which tags too under which blogs are listed...not sure though
It is based on IndiRank.... and Not updated after November 2013....
Valid question. Don't think it is purely based on Indiranks.
