Blog Post Popularity Contest is a way to keep track of which blog post do better then others and to monitor the reader activity on your blog by calculating a popularity percentage for each post and page.

The popularity display you see under each post or at the bottom of each page is the following:

Example: Popularity: 87% [?]

The above popularity rank of that post or page is compared to the other posts and pages on the site letting the reader and blog owner know which posts or pages are more popular then others.

Since page view counts, etc. are cumulative, newer posts will generally have lower popularity values than older posts. This, of course, evens out over time.

The values for different events (page views, feed views, comments, etc.) are configurable on a per-site basis, so each site may rank their content differently.
