In the Top 10, Gaping Void slides another notch this week, and Marketing Shift and Daily Fix continue to close ranks on the Top 4. New School has another nice week and is now closing in on the Top 10.

#21-25 showed plenty of pop, with 4 of the 5 blogs being up. Very good sign when the bottom of the list is up.

This marks the 6-month anniversary of the Top 25 countdown, and I decided to go back and look at the first list for some perspective. As you can see, the group as a whole continues to see its Alexa rank shrink. Now BMA is #25 with a score of 248,397. That same score would have put them at #20 in April. Seth was #1 in April as well, but his Alexa score then was over double what it is now, at 11,018. This suggests that blogs as a whole, at least marketing blogs, continue to grow faster than the average blog/website.

BTW thanks to John at Duct Tape Marketing, and Nedra at Spare Change for adding the Top 25 Marketing Blogs Logo to their blogs!

Next update is next Wednesday.

toprankblog.com is at 14,704 which would place it at #2 in your silly little list. This isn't a list of the top marketing blogs, it's a list of personal favorites.

Lee if the list is so silly, why did you even take the time to comment?

Mack- Well said friend.

I'd like to take full credit for the DF's climb this week, as the newest contributor, but I think I'd find Ann on my doorstep wielding a baseball bat... so I'll skip the arrogance.
