30 Most Popular Blogs | August 2007

There are many blog popularity-ranking services on the web, but unfortunately, they all rely on only one piece of data for their rankings. Either link popularity, RSS feeds or some sort of traffic-ranking service. We at eBizMBA have decided that in order to get a more accurate picture we needed to combine data from multiple sources. So here, we offer the 30 Most Popular Blogs ranked by a combination of Inbound Links from Yahoo Site Explore (entire site not including internal pages), Alexa Rank, and Compete and Quantcast U.S. Unique Monthly visitor data. Blogs that are only a part of a non-Blog site are not included (i.e. Google Blogs).
