The Top 25 Marketing & Social Media Blogs are ranked according to the number of subscribers, according to FeedBurner. The number you see after the blog name is how many subscribers accessed the blog's feed, according to FeedBurner. FeedBurner (and I had to look it up to make sure) tracks the number of times your blog's feed is accessed, and matches it against the IP address of the computer making the request, to approximate the number of subscribers that access your feed, and report this as the number used in the Top 25. After that number is a positive or negative number, and this represents how many readers the blog gained or lost from last week's Top 25. The final stat tells you what position the blog held in the Top 25 Last Week (LW). If you see this; (LW - UR), it means the blog wasn't ranked last week.

Nice bounce-back week for the Top 25, with 21 blogs being up, and every blog holding the same spot it did last week. Chris Brogan's blog had another monster week, and both Techno Marketer and Social Media Explorer had nice gains to pull them closer to The Social Customer Manifesto and Greg Verdino's blog.
No new entries this week, and remember if you want to have your blog be considered for inclusion in the Top 25, make sure you add the Feedburner feed count chicklet to your blog.




Next update is next Wednesday.

This new rating system is a bit daunting, numbers-wise, but I'm about 2000 out from #3, so if I can get lucky a few more times, maybe I can sit in #3 for a few years. : )

I meant 4. Math is hard.

My personal favourite is actually Chris Brogan's.
