JULY 5 - SALON BLOG TOP 50 DIRECTORY AND POPULARITY RANKINGS It's that time of the month again. The following chart shows (a), the ranking among Salon Blogs in number of hits in the past month (to July 5) and (b) in black, the ranking among Salon Blogs in number of inbound blogs (per Technorati ) at July 5, followed by the current number of inbound blogs. Blogs are listed in order of combined (a) + (b) rank. Last month's combined rank is shown in brackets. The top 75 blogs received an aggregate 950,000 hits this month, up 12% from last month and 26% from two months ago. More impressive, the aggregrate number of inbound links to the top 75 blogs is up 35% in one month to almost 2400. We're getting blogrolled in record numbers. David Harris soared up the listings on the strength of his advance chapter summaries of the new Harry Potter book. Emphasis Added rode a multi-day wave of attention from mention in the Wall Street Journal online. Iraq Democracy Watch and Conclusive Evidence made impressive debuts on the list. Doug Anders' Agora dropped off the list as his blog went MIA -- anyone know what's happened to him? The female contingent on the top 50 remained steady at sixteen. Name and location of each blog's 'owner', when known, is shown below the blog name. The Salon blog # links to the blog's home page. Apologies in advance for any errors or omissions.
