20 - What's Your Brand Mantra? - 213,083 (LW - 20)(-3,032)
21 - Marketing Headhunter - 233,304 (LW - 21)(-9,359)
22 - Daily Fix - 237,028 (LW - 22)
23 - Movie Marketing Madness - 241,737 (LW - 23)(+8,454)
24 - Experience Curve - 257,402 (LW - 24)(+11,529)
25 - WonderBranding - 262,884 (LW - 25)(-2,021)


Unfortunately, these rankings are the same as last week, since Alexa has now gone 11 days without updating their 3-month averages. Yeah I don't like it much either. One thing I did want to mention is that Daily Fix continues to set a torrid pace. If Alexa had updated, DF would have probably jumped to the Top 15. So don't be shocked if Daily Fix cracks the Top 10 for the next list, assuming Alexa wakes up between now and then.

As a result of this being a Top 25 re-run, I wanted to focus on some of the blogs that have been surging lately. These are the guys that may make a run at the Top 25 in the coming weeks.

Marketing Nirvana - 295,782
Brains on Fire - 324,574
Decker Marketing - 335,511
Studio UES - 370,767
Ageless Marketing - 404,570
The Brand Builder Blog - 415,599
Spare Change - 454,092


As always, next update is next Monday. Hopefully we'll actually have something to update then.

So what's the story...? Alexa on vacation or something? Great job, Mack, as always. And I love the blogs nipping at the heels of the Top 25-ers. All excellent candidates and smart people.

No idea, Alexa occasionally does this, last time it did was the second Top 25 list, I believe.

Thanks for including Spare Change in the up-and-comers! I'm certainly in good company.
