This plugin adds the PostRank Top Posts Widget & Analytics to your blog. PostRank measures the engagement with each story by analyzing the types and frequency of social media interactions. The more interesting or relevant the story is, the more active your readers will be in sharing it.

By measuring the engagement with each story the PostRank Top Posts widget features your best new and archived content, providing another channel to gain readership, increase page views and clicks, RSS subscriptions and ad revenues. The widget automatically presents a list of your articles that have the highest PostRanks scores overall, or for a specific topic, as specified by the user.

The PostRank Widget on Ruby Inside is really helping get viewers to surf around more. A big page views per visit increase. — Peter Cooper (www.rubyinside.com)

In adddition to the Top Posts Widget, the PostRank plugin integrates social media analytics features directly into your admin interface. The Manage Posts page will display each post's current PostRank score, and hovering over it will reveal your current engagement metrics from around the web: delicious/magnolia bookmarks, twitter/jaiku messages, diggs, and many others.
