Recently launched news ranking site Spotplex just sucks. Spotplex ranks the stories based on page views and categorizes them.
Look at the spotplex technology section and you will know what i mean. One would expect technology stories on spotplex technology section but to my surprise there are few irrelevant stories (kind of a soft porn), i looked at few popular technology section pages and the result is same. To my surprise most of these stories are from one blog (mastmaja.blogspot.com), i would love to know what this blogger did to manipulate spotplex rankings. If you look at his blog posts you will find that he placed 2 spotplex widgets this may be the reason?.
I guess this might be a flaw in their ranking algorithm, if they dont fix this soon more people may manipulate the spotplex rankings.

Damn… There should always an option to vote of spam / irrelevant ranking in such kind of ranking systems. BTW, I stopped using Spotplex since their widgets took more time to load.!
