24 - The Social Media Marketing Blog - 395 (LW - UR)
25 - Techno Marketer - 393 (+4)(LW - 25)


A reminder that the Top 25 Marketing & Social Media Blogs are ranked according to the number of sites/blogs linking to each, according to Technorati. The number you see after the blog name is how many sites/blogs Technorati claims have linked to the blog in the last 6 months. After that number is a positive or negative number, and this represents how many links 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.

Chris Brogan's blog is simply a buzzsaw right now. Creating Passionate Users went on a similar tear in 2007, but that's the only other time I can remember a blog adding links in bunchas like this for several weeks in a row. Influential Marketing and Conversation Agent continue to quietly add links as well. Otherwise, the Top 25 was fairly flat with about half the blogs up and half down.

The Social Media Marketing Blog was the lone new entry, with The Engaging Brand, Social Media Explorer, Experience Curve, Flooring the Customer, Movie Marketing Madness, and The Lonely Marketer all barely missing the cut.





Next update is next Wednesday.

Thanks for the top 25 list. I'm not surprised Seth Godin is at #1.

Congrats on being #16.

I'm gunning for Brian Clark, that's why. : ) I might not be able to unseat Seth right away, but Clark? I'm going after him.

Thanks, Mack. I know a lot of work goes into your Top 25. I get a kick out of it, though, so thanks.
