TheWayoftheWeb

Apologies for the trumpet blowing, but I’m sure it won’t last. Generally I seem to schedule any hiatus in blogging to coincide with the monthly rankings on marketing blogs.

But thanks the list helpfully compiled at Spinning Around, I can now claim that for at least one month, I cracked the Top 40 (a figure still magical due to the music charts).

In fact, I’m a #39, as you can witness at the UK’s Top Marketing Webblogs, which is pulled from the AdAge Power 150. Confusingly the Power 150 tracks 932 sites at the time of writing!

I don’t tend to blow my own trumpet too much, although the large Adage Power 150 widget on the left probably undermines my posturing as a humble wordsmith… But after relaunching on my own domain, losing two years of Google PR and inbound links, and then spending ages going round updating everything, we’re finally moving in the right direction.

The latest list of top marketing blogs is on Spinning Around, filtered to show just UK marketing bloggers. And TheWayoftheWeb is finally moving back up the rankings. Of course it’d move faster if I ever get my page rank back! But a jump of 5 UK places, and 43 global places in a month is a sign I may be doing something worth linking and reading to.

And yet I was going to post about how relaxing I found blogging in the month before I’d reset Google Analytics to track readership on here!
