The 50 most influential UK bloggers

PR Blogger.com has put together a list of the 50 most influential blogs in the UK. See prblogger.com » Tracking the conversation globally and locally. The list is only available as a excel file so I’ve copied it below.

It is flattering to be included at No 31, but I think any such list must be read with a touch of caution. The ‘inbound links’ measure used here is one way of assessing the popularity and influence of different blogs, but I suspect that if a list was compiled by traffic, numbers of subscribers or numbers of commenters the results would be very different.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who links to me from their websites. Links provide readers and readers provide a way for me to make my living, so I really do appreciate it.

    Thanks for link, Dave. A few more of them and I might make a list one day! :-)

    Agreed on your thoughts. But I’m quite inspired to look into this further so appreciate all the feedback I can get.

    Thanks again,

    That is an interesting list - I’m not surprised that Gaping Void is high up the list - but number one… I’m also surprised that after the book and all the press coverage when the true identity of the blogger was revealed that Girl with a One Track Mind isn’t further up…

    Eeek, and Boris-Johnson.com is at number 17…

    A quick factoid: the highest ranking Christian blogger in the list is at #13, and that’s Jonathan Roobottom. There was discussion on prblogger.com about whether Tall Skinny Kiwi was eligible (UK-born I think). He’d have come in at #8.

    Congratulations, by the way: you’re more influential by this measure than Diamond Geezer, Johnny Billericay and Scaryduck. That’s impressive.

    YES!!!! Thanks for that list - I may have only just scraped in but as a comparative newcomer it’s a rather nice feeling, that means I will probably be smiling for a while.

    An interesting list and I hope to check out some of them. And speaking of blogs, I checked out this one today by a UK resident:

    http://threebeautifulthings.blogspot.com/

    She has this interesting announcement on it:

    “Tunbridge Wells is 400 years old next year. I’m celebrating by collecting 400 words from as many people as possible over at [link] Tunbridge Wells Tells. [Rules etc, can be found at that site.] Why not join in by sending your 400 words to tunbridgewellstells at timeandspace dot demon dot co dot uk.”

    Perhaps you know a couple of peoople in and out of the UK who might be interested and have the time to participate. I might do it as the the thought of anyone liking to have 400 words from me is rather nice.
