BlogBlogs is the biggest service for tracking Portuguese written blogs (so far) and we have a very similar ranking system, but from the beginning we threated separately links from and to sub-domains. The reason was simple, people could very easily create linking farms from/to sub-domains using always the same content, what is not good. Now we are moving forward with other tools like social bookmarking and widgets. Next step will be huge ans social, but that's another history.
