Another weak week for the Top 25. Influential Interactive Marketing was again the lone bright spot for the Top 10. But it wasn't all bad news as blogs #13-17 were all up.

Greg Verdino's Marketing Blog is the week's new entry at #25, and joins his Digitas running mate David Armano. While the countdown has been in reverse lately, it's good to see new blogs getting into the mix such as Verdino's, CK's, and Servant of Chaos.

BTW if Greg or anyone else wants to add the Top 25 Badge to their blog, here it is:











Next update is next Wednesday.

PS: Jim Kukral did an interesting study of the Top 25 Marketing Blogs.

Greg,

Congrats on hitting the Top 25 list! BTW... it's your turn to try to keep Armano in line! :)

Hey Mack, and the othe 24 :0

I posted an analysis of all of your blogs on my blog. Some fun stuff.

Collectively, your blogs together are worth over $7 million!

How are you evaluating who the top 25 are? I've worked hard to get quite a popular Marketing Blog and have a nice following. Do I not qualify for some reason?

I'm not trying to weasel in, I'm really curious!

Thanks!
Doug

Doug mainly I look for blogs that focus on marketing as their main topic. But I don't include blogs that focus on SEO, SEM, email marketing, advertising, or are marketing 'news' sites such as MarketingVox. I try to emphasize blogs that cover traditional marketing news and commentary, word-of-mouth and social-media coverage.

There's plenty of judgment calls, which is why I make a point to brand it as 'The Viral Garden's Top 25 Marketing Blogs', instead of 'The Top 25 Marketing Blogs'.
