I was going to suggest at some point that the list could be made up of people submitting their own figures instead but decided I needed to put *some* effort into this, at least at the very beginning.

Also the movement is of critical interest. I’m hoping to build this into future releases, although note that Todd And’s Power150 doesn’t calculate this information (it’s a bit tricky shuffling things around in Excel but I’m sure I can figure it out).

The more I think about it the more we really do approach an ‘index’ like a financial index, in that we could analyse the top five climbers/droppers, the most active, that sort of thing. It would be fascinating to see this in real-time using ASP solutions such as those provided by KTS.

To help me with all of this – the problem of it taking time to compile, plus that of movement – I’m also looking into automation tools such as the Easy Bee which seems to hold promise although I’ve yet to decide whether this really will do what I need.

I did consider it this time around but now that I’ve standardised on which metrics to use and the spreadsheet’s all set up, I think I’ll do it from now on. Power150 doesn’t, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t (fight your way through those negatives!).

I’d rather not say which agency I’m from, not least because it has staff blogging rules which state we shouldn’t be identifiable as its staff. Strange, I know, becayse most others consider it a way of engaging, promoting their cause, etc. Perhaps I’ll get that changed.

But also, I like to preserve my anonymity – hence the pseudonym – simply so I can mouth off and say what I like without fear of redemption.

I know some of my colleagues subscribe but even within the agency it’s not widely known that I run this blog. And I’d like to keep it that way!

Cheers

For future league tables, how about you put in brackets the ranking for each blog the previous month? Then we’ll be able to see who’s in the ascendancy and who’s dropping like a stone.

Happy holiday!

You know what happens when you put a blogging list together – some egos get stroked and some don’t. Good for you for taking the time to do it.

P.S. Which agency are you from?

OK, I did check all the figures, I promise, but I’ve been through all the Technorati figures again and yes, there was a small chunk that seemed to have shifted. So, I’ve fixed that and now you’re comfortably above Drew. Many apologies – I don’t want to publish and be damned! I will double (actually triple) check all the figures tomorrow cos I want this to be right. Regarding time, well it’s the initial setting up that takes the longest, particularly figuring out the best approach to analysis and enabling ready transfer from Excel to WordPress, but now it’s just data entry which takes an hour or so – not too painful.
