@Lee, very interesting point. But wouldn’t inlinks throughout the entire blog also be ‘muddied’ by the amount of internal linking done within the blog? That is, if I were to link very often to my own previous posts then I would get a higher inlink score? In fact, the recent addition of automatically generated ‘Possibly related posts’ on WordPress could be doing this too.

I will think on that one.

@Geoff – thanks, noted for next time around.

@Barbara – thank you! Actually I can reveal that this has been my single most popular post ever with approaching 900 views so far, and by far the most links coming from PR Newser.

BTW, for your stats purposes, we changed the main URL of the Buzz Bin to http://www.livingstonbuzz.com. /blog/ is no longer sourced for inbound links to individual posts. Best wishes.

RE: Yahoo Inlinks, I noticed you’ve used the home page, not the entire blog for link counts. Of course as blogs, people link to individual posts as much or more than the home page. It’s a sign of quality content.

Here’s an interesting comparison:

micropersuasion home page links: 512,766
micropersuasion site links: 646,579

toprankblog home page links: 148,905
toprankblog site links: 666,577

When you use a measure of inbound links to an entire blog, then toprankblog actually has more inbound links than micropersuasion.

By pointing this out I am not suggesting a change to your methodology because if you were limited to checking links to an entire site, it would not be possible to distinguish links for blogs hosted on 3rd party platforms like blogspot.com, wordpress.com, typepad.com etc. That is a limitation of the Yahoo Site Explorer tool.

Thank you by the way, for including Online Marketing Blog in the consideration set. There are many great PR blogs in this list.

You certainly deserve lots of attention for your efforts – the PR Friendly Index is a truly unique scoring system that keeps evolving.
Appreciate the introduction to How Social – fun to play around with my multiple online personas and see how each measures up.

Sad, I know.
