TOP 50 SALON BLOGS OF THE MONTH

Posted on August 6, 2003 by Dave Pollard
salon The monthly directory of Salon’s most popular blogs, showing the ranking in number of hits in the past month (to August 5) and the ranking in number of inbound blogs (per Technorati) at August 5, is now up here.

The top 75 Salon blogs received an aggregate 1,000,000 hits this month, a record and up 5% from last month. The aggregrate number of inbound links to the top 75 blogs is up 25% this month to over 3,000. We’re still getting blogrolled in record numbers.

Conclusive Evidence (#15) and Robert’s Virtual Soapbox (#36) are getting lots of hits for their coverage of the Dean and Kerry campaigns respectively. All Day Permanent Red (#25) has soared up the list, even though he’s been offline with serious technical problems since July 21. Can anyone help him out?  Base Camp‘s (#39) fascinating travelblogue and Dr. Omed‘s (#46) artistic wizardry made impressive debuts into the list.

The female contingent on the top 50 remained steady at sixteen. Permanent Red and Iraq Democracy Watch (#19) are the ‘youngest’ blogs on the list — they’re each less than three months old. For the best of Salon (and other) blogs, check out the Virtual Occoquan, whose new edition Death & Poetry is just out.

    I did send my weblogData.root to Rogers Cadenhead, who is working on script to recover blobs, but haven’t heard anything from him yet.

    Bless you, Brother Dave. And pay no attention to that man behind the screen, I am the Reverend and Doctor Omed…
