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.

One of the best weeks ever for the Top 25, as 24 of the blogs were up, with the 25th being Techno Marketer, which re-entered the Top 25 this week. I think this is especially significant considering that this represents two weeks of movement, since the Top 25 took last week off with me in Scottsdale. Several tight bands are forming, with spots 4-7, 11-15, and 18-23 all becoming very competitive. Good to see, especially with the rising tide lifting all blogs.

Servant of Chaos and Customers Rock! just missed the cut this week. 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.
