Top gainers were Motorcycle Philippines and Philippine Eleksyon 2007 (PE 2007), both of which came from outside the Top 50 to claim spots in the Top 15. The former is one of the rare "swingers," which means that it used to be consistently in the Top 5, disappeared from the list last month, but is now on its way back to where it used to be. The latter, meanwhile, seems to have been helped more than just a bit by the elections held last month.
But if my guess is correct, however, then why is it that two other blogs—namely Inside PCIJ and Quezon.ph—which were the next two highest gainers, did not even gain half as much as PE 2007? Could it have had something to do with the keywords in PE 2007's blog title and URL? Or could it be that recycled content is really much better than original content when it comes to attracting readers? I hope I'm wrong about the last one.
