The general rule is if your blog focuses on marketing primarily, I'll probably include it. If your blog is primarily focused on SEO, SEM, Sales Lead/Generation, odds are incredibly good that it won't be included.<BR/><BR/>Also I do consider content that's consistent with the rest of the Top 25. For example, I also write for Marketing Vox, which is a bit different from the other blogs listed here because it's more news-oriented, and we post more in a day than most other marketing blogs post in 2 weeks. Since the format/style is so different than the rest of the blogs, I don't feel it's fair to list Vox here. If I did, Vox would be the grab the #1 spot.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, MediaBuyerPlanner is Vox's sister site, and they focus a bit more on advertising news, and their format IS consistent with the Top 25 Advertising blogs, so I list MBP in the Top 25 Advertising blogs.<BR/><BR/>But as I've always said, Alexa is subjective, and the Top 25 inclusion criteria is my own. I leave it to you to determine what, if any, credibility the list should have.Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-1162489564384941072006-11-02T11:46:00.000-06:002006-11-02T11:46:00.000-06:00Nevermind, it's Alexa 3 month average.
