Finance Blogs Readability Ranked


The readability of text or in this case blogs can be assessed in numerous ways. Readability algorithms attempt to measure the grade or level required for a person to comprehend a text. Common factors used for evaluating readability include:

  • Number of words in a sentence.
  • Number of syllables per word.
  • Usually algorithms also include a syntactic factor and semantic factor.

Using the Blog readability tool I have tested 39 finance Blogs and the results are shown below. I am not sure what particular algorithm the site uses and some results seem very surprising. The results are ranked from elementary school level to genius level, I am not sure if it is better to be more readable or more technical? The rankings are listed below:
