What are the StarMeter ratings:
What is STARmeter ?
STARmeterTM ranks every person in IMDb. Available only on IMDbPro,
our website designed for people who work in the entertainment
industry, STARmeterTM provides industry professionals with insights
into the popularity of the people who make film and television
productions.
What do the rankings mean?
Plain and simple, they represent what people are interested in, based
not on small statistical samplings, but on the actual behavior of
millions of IMDb users. Unlike the AFI 100TM or Academy AwardsTM,
high rankings on STARmeterTM do not necessarily mean that something
is "good." They do mean that there is a high level of public
awareness and/or interest in the person.
How are these ratings calculated?
IMDbPro uses proprietary algorithms that take into account several
measures of popularity for people and titles. The primary measure is
who and what people are looking at on the public IMDb.com website.
Other factors include Box office receipts and user quality votes on a
scale of 1-10.
The rankings are updated on a weekly basis.
Ia STARmeterTM based on polls?
Sort of. Users vote through their actions, every time someone visits
an IMDb web page about over the 2.3 million people in the database,
we record that "pageview". It is the sum total of these pageviews
that form the foundation of the STARmeterTM rankings.
Could someone "rig" the ratings by visiting an IMDb page repeatedly?
No. IMDb.com has over 50 million visitors each month. The STARmeterTM
rankings are based on a cumulative total of more than 1 billion
pageviews. Furthermore, we have designed the ranking algorithm so
that the actions of one user (or small group of users) has a limited
impact.
How does STARmeterTM compare with other rankings?
Some ranking systems are based on the opinion of one "expert" or a
selected group of "experts". Others use statistical samplings of a
few hundred or a few thousand people, offering them a controlled set
of choices, and ranking only within that set.
We, on the other hand, offer a nearly unlimited set of choices with
over 1 million titles and over 2,300,000 people to choose from, and
base our rankings on the behavior of a sampling group of over 50
million monthly visitors in a real-world environment.

I can just see the ensuing mele now:
MajorSal yells "He's mine" grabbing hold of his arm.
Sky yells, "No he's mine" garabbing hold of his other arm
jakfan runs in yealling, "get your hands off my man!"
JanSam angrily says to jckfan, "your man, he's my man"
and Mandy being the peaceful one, goes over to Rick and pulls him out of the grip of the others as they argue heatedly and walks off hand in hand saving Rick for herself
