Displayed scores in profile not very useful after several links

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In my profile, after about 5 links, the displayed score (the width of the
score bar) is the identical for nearly every single link on the rest of the
page.  

It looks cool for the first few, but after that, it is just redundant and
useless.  Seeing that all of the rest of your links have negligible score
is discouraging, while displaying the relative difference in score between
your links would actually be a useful feedback mechanism for learning what
types of links become most popular.

Recommendation: Force the displayed score to be different for every link
(unless they actually have identical scores).  Instead of displaying a
representation of absolute score, use the score bar to display a ranking,
by score, relative to the other links on the page.

I have a "monthly rank" that I can show as a background bar color.  I think 
this will
be superimposed on "today's rank" and will be a better measure of longer-lived
popularity.

BTW - I have data for day, week, month, and year.  Seems like "week" and "year" 
may
be the most useful if I had to pick two to display.
