[There is a updated version of this post: Top Ranked Blogs: April 2007<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

\"White\"Second, new and improved, version of the top web analytics blogs rankings. <\/p>\n

After publication of the first list there was a lot of great feedback and critique<\/a> and excellent suggestions. Jen, our regular contributor, suggested another alternative to using technorati, www.blogshares.com<\/a>. This would require all participants to sign up accounts on blogshares hence I have tabled this for now.<\/p>\n

The ranking still uses technorati ranking and the “Web Analytics” tag to identify relevant blogs. But there is one new rule: The blog should post about web analytics atleast 50% of the time (so Clint posts about Kathy Griffin <\/a>are absolutely welcome<\/em>! : )). <\/p>\n

I deferred to the judgment of if the blog met the rule to the blog owner. Surprisingly almost every single person was very friendly in their responses to my email and almost all of them judged that their blog did not meet the rule. I am grateful for their friendliness and honesty, thank you.<\/p>\n

There is also one additional piece of data, based on comments from the last one, a new column showing the first time a post was published on the blog. The thought from the readers was that this would be a additional piece of data to consider.<\/p>\n

Before I publish the list one final thought: There was some confusion inserted about how technorati works and if blogs can be “optimized” for technorati. This is not true. All you have to do is blog about web analytics and use the tag “web analytics”. As to how technorati works and tips on higher ranking here is the CEO of technorati himself: David Sifry<\/a> (this is a great must read interview).<\/p>\n

Here’s the new and improved and much changed ranking for July 2006:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
