The M20: Top Marketer Blogs

The M20 list of top 20 marketing blogs is LIVE.  I've been tweaking the ranking for the past six weeks and have used the same approach as the gamma list.

Here's the first ever live version of the M20.

1. ExperienceCurve :: 74 
2. Strategic Public Relations :: 70
3. Listen Up! :: 59
4. BeRelevant! :: 53
   
5. Conversation Agent :: 51
6. Todd And - The Power To Connect :: 48
7. Flooring The Consumer  :: 42
8. Decker Marketing :: 41
9. The Lonely Marketer :: 41
10. Marketing Nirvana :: 40
11. Consumer Generated Media :: 38
12. Churbuck.com :: 38
13. The Digital Mindset Blog :: 36
14. Bernaisesource :: 35
15. Biznology :: 34
16. Cross The Breeze :: 33
17. AttentionMax :: 33
18. Masiguy :: 32
19. Community Group Therapy :: 31
20. Buzz Marketing For Technology :: 31

Biggest gainers:  Conversation Agent and Flooring the Consumer, aided by momentum from the W list meme.

Biggest loser:  Marketing Nirvana, with a drop from #5 to #10, mostly due to a loss of Technorati authority.  (...blame it on the layoffs?)

FYI there are 15 blogs in addition to these, 7 of which are tied at #21 with 28 points!  I noticed that many blogs did not change spots over the past two weeks.  As for statistics, Google Page Rank has not changed much at all over the test period.  Alexa ranking only changed once.  Technorati authority and feed subscribers change every time.  Consequently, I'll be revisiting the list on a monthly basis.  Look for the next version in October.

Peter:
I was just reading a report with your name on it the other day. Thank you for keeping up with the list. This is brilliant. I hear Google will start ranking differently. Did not understand exactly how... In these past couple of weeks I also got links from TechMeme and a couple of pretty high ranking blogs. Maybe it's not all W List? ;-} Is one of the metrics RSS subscribers? Just curious.

Hey Peter,
Great work with the list! I look forward to following it.

it may defeat your intent but personally I'd love to see the extended list. Kind of a runners up/up and coming list. There's probably more movement the further down the list you go.
