Second in the World?!

By Francis Polansky, M.D.

Bay IVF blogs were judged to be the second most influential reproductive medicine blogs in the world by Feedspot.

Feedspot is an organization that discovers and ranks popular blogs in different categories. With millions of blogs on the web, finding influential bloggers in a niche industry is a challenging problem to address. Their experience leads them to believe that a thoughtful combination of both algorithmic and human editing offers the best means of curation.

Their expert editorial team reviews each blog before adding them to the relevant category list. The ranking is based on:

• Relevancy
• Industry blogs (those not favoring a specific brand) are given a higher rank than blogs by individual brands (who often tend to promote their own products)
• Blog post frequency (freshness)
• Social media follower counts and engagements
• Domain authority
• Age of a blog
• Alexa Web Traffic Rank and many other parameters
