Great list, Daniel.
I agree with another commenter, in asking you if you will be doing an update.
It would be interesting to know the latest roll out of top blogs, especially considering the vast number of sites that have become far more established in recent years.
There are some great sites on that list, I do a fair bit of reading on a few of them.
Especially those sites at #1 and #5(Yeah, your site).
This is a list of top bloggers that’s for sure. Great value from them all.
BloggingPro is a good site, although it ranks only 11 in this list. I have very often visit these site. Thanks for the list and hope you update it frequently. Many new sites that may be worth for inclusion in this list and it will be useful for other people to know about it.
Thanks for the list. A handful of them I was familiar with, but there were plenty I wasn’t.
Hello Daniel,
Are you updating this list? If yes, My blog is worth to appear in this list.
My Blog is with Alexa: 67k and PageRank: 3. If you could update this list, please mind to add my blog.
Thanks
It’s always nice to see a list that contains some of my personal favourites.
Regards,
Karl
I don’t think there is more than 5 websites that actually have a Google page rank of 8, 9 and 10 without being some official, worldwide organization or a goverment-related site. Considering that few sites go beyond page rank 6 anyway, you should mark it out of 6.
Hi Daniel
We need something like this more contemporary..Some of the PR 6 that you have mentioned are now PR 3s! Also, I am sure lot many new blogs have come up in the mean time
