I have just updated
the full Directory
of Active Salon Blogs. You can download it in Excel format by
clicking on the link at the top of the right sidebar just below my
e-mail link. It contains current information on the owner and subject
of each blog, plus current sortable data on hits/month and
inbound blog counts. Please send
me details of any missing and new Salon Blogs, and any errors in the
Directory. I promise to post any updates I receive to the Directory
spreadsheet regularly. Here are the summary statistics for the last
month:
Total hits per month were about 1.05 million, up 10%
from February (due almost entirely to a rebound in Filchyboy's hit
count). Of that total, 760 thousand hits (72%) went to the top 11 (7%)
of active blogs. Median hit count remains about 700 per month.
Inbound blogs totaled about 4150, up 10% from February,
with the top 11 active blogs accounting for almost exactly half of
them. Median number of inbound blogs remains at 7.
The approximate proportion of female Salon bloggers was
42%, the same percentage as in January and February.
No
longer blogging, it appears, are the passionate Toby's Political Diary
(#1282), Asia Business Intelligence (#1319), Everything That Sucks
(Come Back, Amanda! #1691), Patriotically Incorrect (#2379),.Lean for
Dean (#2429), Doublethink (#2521), Life in LA (We miss you, Claire!
#2608), and 16 relatively new bloggers. David Harris is on hiatus.
Of
the roughly 240 new Salon Blog numbers assigned this past
two months (#3412-3642 and #3743-3757), about 90 made at least one post, and
the following 36 appear to be posting regularly. That leaves the number
of active
Salon Blogs at 174, up 14 from February. Welcome to all
new Sloggers.
If I've missed your Salon Blog, or if you know of any active (posted
within the last month) active Salon Blogs not in the directory, please let me know.
There's just one day left to find the missing Easter eggs (see post
below), and a few of them are hidden in the above newbie blogs.
