I didn't think that's how it worked, but figured I'd try to help describe the situation as best as possible. Thanks for looking into it. Appreciate the amazing service.

One more thought on this. I've informally tested this. I'm not sure it's a slow indexing issue. If I check PostRank.com to see what my latest post is I've noticed that it's almost always the post BEFORE the most recent. So, today before I did a new post, I checked and this was the case. After I posted my new post today, PostRank updated, but again, with the post BEFORE the most recent. Stay with me...so it wasn't the post I just did today, but the one before that.

Read that again and it'll make sense. In summary, it seems like you need to push another post out to PostRank in order to get it to index. When it does, it doesn't pick up the newest post, but the one before it.

Is this possible?

Good news. The accounts are combined, but still having the slow issue, but I'm not seeing that this is a universal issue. Seems to affect blogs randomly.

Jonathan Richman asked a question in PostRank on November 09, 2009 01:04:

Pages or just Posts?

Is there any way for PostRank to index a page in addition to a post? I have one page that is a constantly updated "wiki" that gets a ton of interaction and would like to see it somehow included. Is that something that is part of the functionality or purpose of PostRank? Yes, I know it's called POSTRank, so you can skip the obvious answer if that's what you were going for. Here's the page in question: http://www.doseofdigital.com/healthca...

Thanks.

It doesn't seem to be affecting everyone the way I see it. One of the only reasons I follow PostRank is because it's used for the AdAge Power150 (http://adage.com/power150/). In fact, it's quite a heavy weighting. So, to check out whether everyone is affected or not, I checked some of the blogs with a PostRank score of 50 (the highest) and it seems that they all have their latest posts indexed just fine by PostRank. Perhaps not surprising that they're PostRank score is so high. I know that mine plummeted from 45 to 33 overnight and now I'm wording if this has to due with my feeds somehow not being right. If my latest posts are indexed, then neither are my latest comments, which all go to my PostRank score.

I've also noticed that the number of tweets my posts actually receive are far less than the number reflected in PostRank.

So, why the apparent "selective" indexing? Any way you can force a one-time indexing for mine maybe to keep it up to date?

Slooooooow feeds and other odd behavior...

Seems like my feed is always delayed by a few days or even longer. Can you check it out? It's for http://www.doseofdigital.com. Also, I notice when I search for it on the PR site that two listings come up, but they seem to link to the same place. Oddly enough though, in the search suggest box, one say 10 subscribers, one says 4 and they both link to the page for my blog that says 5 subscribers. What's up with that? Thanks!

We need some stinkin' badges!

With the new redesign, are there still badges for sharing rank/authority? If so, where do you get one? Can't find it anywhere.

Thanks...I'm more concerned about the other issue with the graphing. My URL is http://www.doseofdigital.com.

I did notice that if you search for my site on PostRank, there are two instances of it. One has 3 subscribers, one has 8. One worked when I set up analytics, one didn't.

What in the world are Engagement Points?

Just signed up for analytics. What in the world is "engagement points"? I see my posts each have some, but I can't see where this comes from. Also, when I look at individual posts and compare it to the overall chart (Engagement activity) of engagement for all posts, the two don't match up. That is, I have a two posts with by far the most engagement points when I look on the analytics page for the post (clicking the letter on the overall chart), but these posts aren't the highest on the overall chart.

Thanks,

Avatars Suddenly Missing

I'm missing avatars all of a sudden from Backtype. These were there and now they're gone. Avatars still appear when people leave a comment on my blog, just not when Backtyple pulls in tweets. See here: http://www.doseofdigital.com/2009/07/...

Looked into this more and got some indication that Backtype may be over its limit with Google Apps. Is this why they're not showing?

Thanks!

Supporting the new su.pr?

Any thoughts on adding StumbleUpon's new su.pr to the list of sites that are supported? Still in beta, but could get a big following.

Replaced Slideshow, But Same Old Embed

I replaced a slideshow and the embed code still shows the old slideshow. The new slideshow appears fine on slideshare, but the embeds (I took the code from the slideshare updated presentation) are not updated. How can I fix this? I've tried on different browsers and clearing cache and nothing. This is the presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/jonmrich/ph...

I'm having the same problem and had the issue start around the same time you did. No idea what's happening.
