I figure I better brag about us fast before the clock strikes midnight, but I'm pretty damned proud of how our Viral Community has pushed The Viral Garden to the brink of the Top 10. Especially when you consider that we won't hit our 3-month anniversary till tomorrow. As a whole, this was probably the best week for the Top 25 blogs, as 18 of the group were up, and there were 2 new entries.

The Origin of Brands re-entered the Top 25 at #25, and David Armano's Logic+Emotion became the third blog, joining Jaffe Juice and BMA, to be ranked in both the Top 25 Advertising blogs, and Top 25 Marketing blogs, as L+E touches down at #23 this week. Several blogs benefitted from being a part of Marketing Sherpa's blog awards, and there will likely be more spillover affect from these awards in the weeks to come.

The consolidation of the Top 25 continues, last week an Alexa ranking of 300K would barely make the cut, this week that number falls to 275K. Making the Top 25 was always an honor, it is now a serious achievement for a marketing blog.

As always, next update is next Monday.

Congratulations to ALL the winners and kudos to you, Mack, for defining the gold-standard for marketing blogs.

As I said in my blog: "Someday when I grow-up I hope to be on Mack's Top 25 list"! :)

Great stuff Mack!

Something for us all to aim for.

I have a feeling DA's run is just starting.

As for Mario and Paul, both Marketing Nirvana and Blending the Mix are getting a ton of good pub, so we could see one or both of you in the Top 25 soon! Good content and good community is all you need, so far so good!

Congrats everyone! And thanks again Mack for getting me involved in the community...with any luck, one day I'll be on that list ;-)

Tricia being on the list is great, but creating and being part of a great community is MUCH better. You're well on your way, in fact you started off about as well with your FIRST blog as I did here with my SECOND! You'll be fine, and we'll all toast you when you land that job with a big label ;)
