WA Changed Ranking Algorithm Again

Has anybody noticed that WA has recently changed its ranking algorithm again? I have.

Over a cup of hot java this morning.

As you can see based on the rankings, there is now a strong emphasis where the new algorithm appears to be weighted the most on the Senior Ambassador Members, while still taking into great consideration the overall amount of Activity, and Help.



There is now also less weight assigned to the Creator category.

Apparently, the new algorithm while giving greater weight to Senior Members, focuses most on those Senior ambassador members who are both the most Active in the community and who are offering the most Help to their referrals – which I believe is how it should be.

A short note of casual observation for people in the know and for others who curiously"want to know."

Once again, WA is always changing.

Changing for the better.


***UPDATE***

Further evidence that I am right here, as TODAY a new Senior Ambassador has joined the other 700+ Day ambassadors in the #8 Rank (see Screenshot).


Note: # 9 wrote 4 posts in the past 3 days but couldn't stem the senior algorithm surge!



Now the seniors hold #'s 3,4,5,6,7,8!!

Who's next!!??

(.....Just some Fun observation here!)


Cheers,

Kaju

Thank you Kaju for drawing my attention to this.

In a way, it's an enlightenment about some of the need-to-know activities in WA.

Stay blessed.

M pleasure Segun. Knowledge is knowledge, and all of it helps. Glad to share!

I'm not really an active member in WA, but it's amazing how I don't go below the 250 rank mark. Then when I started participating a little bit, I then hit Top 200. Well at least this is my experience (share yours as well!)

Thanks for sharing this Dominic, at certain ranking thresholds this can happen. As you get higher up (lower in rank), the algorithm skews toward Activity and Helper towards seniors (members with 700+ days as an ambassador) with less emphasis on Creator.

Thanks again Dominic:)! Here's a great Tokyo story for you on my new YT channel:) Send me your YT link and I will Subscribe. You can Subscribe to my channel here:)

If you don't yet, I will happily return the favor when yours is up.:)

Thank you Kaju,For sharing that valuable information.

Your welcome Starfalex, much success:)

Hi Kaju - as the newest ambassador on the block, I am not sure that's correct as regards the creator category. I was always hovering around the 26, 27 rank, until I started writing WA blog posts, which I rarely used to do.

It is only since then that I reached the dizzy heights of rank 21. I am still offering help and answering questions, but no more so than I used to, so I can only put it down to the blog posts.

Thanks for your input Diane. I do believe I am right here, but its not that simple.

At first I just thought this was a coincidence, but have seen this trending the past 4-6 days toward the seniors. Never have the seniors been 3,4,5,6 in both the Activity and Helper categories with some who hardly even blog here at all.

This is why I believe it isn't coincidence, but an algorithm change.

If you were not actively blogging on WA before then suddenly have recently started to ,the algorithm may still reward you in rank in the Creator category for this. Also, when you are below a certain threshold (say rank 15) it still may disproportionately reward the Creator category,

There are many factors that go into these algorithms. But the most recent trend toward raising senior members (and some who do not blog here at all) is too strong to ignore to not say this isn't due to an algorithm change.

Thanks again Diane:)! Here's a great Tokyo story for you on my new YT channel:) Send me your YT link and I will Subscribe. You can Subscribe to my channel here:)

Kaju, great observation! I just noticed that my graphs changed.

Thanks Glen, I think I am spot on with this. Never have these senior ambassadors been 3,4,5,6 in BOTH the Activity and Helper categories with those same ones hardly even blogging here at all. And this did not last for only one day, it lasted over several days. I believe this is compelling evidence.

You are also strongly corroborating my theory since you (a highly analytical and observant member) noticed your graphs changed. I've noticed the same for mine too.

Kaju

Further compelling facts and evidence Glen.
Senior ambassador Robert A just jumped up to #8. Now the 3,4,5,6,7,8 are all seniors with 700+ ambassador days. Note that also #9 wrote 4 posts in the past 3 days, and still was overtaken.

Just a little Fun observation, now I'm back to work!
Take Care:)

Kaju

Oh wow! Thanks for the news. I've only just seen that my ranking has changed drastically from 10,000 to 457? Wow!

Awesme Rina! When you are high in rank, there are more radical changes!

Thanks again Rina:)! Here's a great Tokyo story for you on my new YT channel:) Send me your YT link and I will Subscribe. You can Subscribe to my channel here:)

Interesting to see the change. Not sure I totally agree that it’s good. I don’t see how those who are creators of helpful content are any less useful than those who comment a lot.
(Just my 2c worth)

Very good point Dave, in many ways I would rather the algorithm lean toward the Creator. You're right if those ambassadors are only helping their own referrals and no one else. Thanks!

Yep, might not be good.

Thanks for sharing the update, Kaju.
Did not notice the change until now.
Well, it could be better or it could be worse.
Hopefully for the better.
All the best, Kaju and cheers.

Thanks. Let's hope it is for the better Kichang. Otherwise, there is nothing we can really do.

Kaju

Thanks. Hadn’t noticed but change is usually good. i’m not a senior member nor an Ambassador. My rank is like a yo-yo.
Joe

Thanks Joe, at first I just though this was a coincidence, but have seen this trending the past 4-5 days toward the seniors. Now I believe it isn't coincidence, but an algorithm change.

That’s possible. I don’t know how the system works. I am not a senior member (I'm a senior!) nor do rankings matter to me. As I said, I have noticed my rank is like a yo-yo.
I am okay with it.
Joe

Sounds like a great attitude Joe. Kudos!

This is really helpful information.
Thanks for sharing Kaju.

Always a pleasure King!
