G'day! Thanks for returning!
Constantin Basturea has launched a PR/Comms blog list over at PubSub, allowing you to track the link popularity of various known PR/Comms folks over time.
As Constantin says in his own post about it,
Please note that the list doesn’t provide “the top PR blogs” or my “top picks of PR blogs”; what I provide is a directory of weblogs, and I try to make it as comprehensive as possible. I’m not ranking the weblogs; PubSub’s algorithm is doing the rankings – and they can change daily.
I’m not a fan of rankings, especially when it comes to the blogosphere, and when ranking is seen as the equal of influence. Blogging is about individual voices, different ways of thinking, personality, personal experience, and more; if we’re reducing all this variety and wealth to a simple number, we’re missing the core of blogging. Blogging is not athletics; we can have more than one “winner”.
It surely WILL be interesting to see the reactions of others and how the rankings settle over the next few weeks. I can’t believe that my ranking is higher than, for example, BL Ochman’s.
Mind you, I notice that my arch rival, that International Man of Mystery Jenkins, is higher than even the esteemed Neville Hobson & Shel Holtz (not listed). So despite my blog value now approaching $22k I may have to wait longer before I put in a hostile takeover bid for the coffee.
