EXCLUSIVE ADVANCED LOOK !!! WIKIO TOP 100 Political Blogs

Through an arraignment with the folks At Wikio Yidwithlid was able to obtain the July Rankings for Political Blogs a few days before they are released (7/5). See Below.

Huffington kept the top position but NRO's the Corner was able to move up one spot to number 2. One of my favorite blogs, Hot AIR moved into the top ten (although personally I think it should be a bit higher).  With the inclusion of Michelle Malkin at 7, it means Ms. Malkin owns two of the top ten Political Blogs, an amazing feat.

Others moving up are some Sammy Favorites such as Gateway Pundit and Newsbusters. My Good Friend Pamela at Atlas Shrugs stayed in the top third at 32.

For those of the Liberal Persuasion Fivethirtyeight moved up to the top ten possibly taking readership from the Daily Kos which dropped down 4 spots.

Other notable leaps forward include Americablog (from 35 to 22),and The Blog from the Weekly Standard which moved from 48th to 37th, continuing its meteoric rise that coincided with the the hiring of blogging superstar Mary Katharine Ham.

My Mother's favorite blog, Yidwithlid, moved up one spot to 75.


On July 5th Wikio will have the full listing with commentary of the July top 100 HERE, but till then you can see the listing of the top 100 WIKIO Political Blogs below:

FROM CAROL HERMAN

There's a better list out there. It starts with DRUDGE. He got billions and billions of hits.

And, where's Instapundit?

Plus, you can find Yid With Lid on FREE REPUBLIC. (Which is a link available at DRUDGE.) I'd bet lots of people find some of their favorite sites, this way.

@ Carol ---
Wikio is not a hit-counter algorithym. Instead it uses an incoming link system to determine influence, which thankfully benefits me at the Newshoggers #95 this month. A good day for us is about 1,000 hits but those 1,000 hits are disproportionally very high influence hits that are massively overweighed in terms of influence as we'll get more than our fair share of trackbacks from much larger and influential liberal bloggers on a fairly consistent basis.

Wikio is looking more at who is driving the conversation(s) instead of who is being read. Both types of metrics are valuable, but they measure notably different things.
