I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t post a Top 25 for August. Maybe September?

You know in the long run I’m not sure if any site like Alexa or Quantcast can provide totally accurate information. I have no doubt you’re right now that I think about. I’m still a peon I guess.

I’m still linking to this later today.

Later.

Moondog,

You actually probably did not have more uniques then these sites in July. You use Quantcast and they don’t. Like I said if a site does not use Quantcast then it vastly underrates them.

I’m not entirely sure how you arrived at a few of these, like Baseball Musings at #21 and the Mets Blog at #8. I had more uniques than those two in July, but nevertheless, as I pointed out last month, Quantcast is much better in providing accurate data.

And don’t misconstrue my comments regarding the sites I mentioned. I have no doubt they are fine sites and deserve recognition.

I’ll post a link to this later.

You’re welcome. I’m going to answer the questions and send you my blog info. I’d like to be listed here.

Quantcast is the bomb – I wrote an article about them yesterday with links to my stats and two other sites. They provide a wealth of information that the others can’t compete with.

moondog,

Thanks for your comment. I hadn’t been familiar with quantcast before. We will definitely be working them into the rankings for next month

Alexa is a joke. Compete is too. Quantcast is better than all of them, including Google.

So because our idea is to have a writer for every team (or as close as we can), we don’t count?

That’s a little silly, isn’t it?

Spencer,

Bugs and Cranks is basically a network of blogs with a network of writers. All the blogs above have no more then a few writers and most of them only have 1.

Yeah, that should totally say “In reading” not “I reading”…

Man I’m a tool!
