Sneak preview of September's Wikio blog rankings

Thanks to those nice people at Wikio for giving Liberal England an exclusive preview of the Wikio rankings for September. These are the rankings for all blogs, not just political ones.

Having emphasised that, however, I find that political blogs still dominate this list. In fact two prominent technology blogs Boing Boing and Engadget (nos. 3 and 4 last month) have dropped out altogether. I hate to suggest this list is flawed, but... (Later. A commenter suggests they are US blogs and should not have been there in the first place.)

Notable rises among the political blogs come from Tory Bear, The Devil's Kitchen, John Redwood and Letters from a Tory.

It's been a good month for the Liberal Democrats, with Lib Dem Voice, Mark Reckons, Charlotte Gore and (hem, hem) Liberal England all going up.

One other phenomenon is worthy of comment. Two craft blogs, A Spoon Full of Sugar and Just Magnolia have shot up the rankings.

Is raffia work the new politics?

Boing boing and Engadget aren't British, surely?

Jonathan Calder said...

That may be why they have disappeared. They were in the August list.

Dan said...

Yes those two are US sites and had erroneously moved into the UK rankings that month. We subsequently moved them back to our US rankings.

Since you're here, Dan - I'm making progress with identifying "local" blogs, in between various family crises.

If raffiawork is the new politics, does that make Iain Dale Grabber or fotherington-tomas?
