How about $21? LOL

The numbers seem pretty consistent to me. Keep in mind, they’re a combination of traffic and influence. Kinsella gets a lot more traffic that you do - but your site seems more influential - as it gets more top quality links than his does. It does kind of make sense, a lot of people go to Kinsella’s site to insult him and I suspect a lot of people go to your site to engage with you and link to your site for the same reason. I posted a bit more detailed explanation of this a little while ago - I think if you go to the top of this list, you’ll see the link.

As for Jason Cherniak, he comes in at about 27 or 28.

$20 will not get you into the top five, sorry. That wouldn’t be cricket.

Not to bitch (since I’m storming up the charts here),but given the amount of traffic I get from Kinsella I can’t see how I could be 7 spots ahead of him. Also, I can’t see how Cherniak doesn’t make the top 25.

(Also, will $20 get me into the top five?)

Thank you D. - you probably should be on the list. I will include your site in the listings next time. If you know of any sites that are as popular, please do let me know in the comments or by email.

That figures. I’m now surrounded by WK and Ezra.

By my count I should have bounced WK by one spot but you may think that’s worse. :)

Hamid if we put our heads down and let fate push us into a corner yes that “can” happen in other news from the AHRC a thug resigned.

I’d rather go down fighting.

[...] I’m blog navel gazing I may as well mention that I dropped 11 places in the Top 25 Canadian Political Blog list, as I somehow managed to drop by a factor of 10 in Google’s PageRank. Yet I’m still a [...]

Why do anything in a cold, random, empty, universe, where God is dead and entropy manifests itself in the decaying faces of our loved ones and the the zombie love we dress up as “friendship”? Woe is me.

What is the point of these rankings when the postcolonial Left with the help of their Islamic fascist friends using the unaccountable extra-judicial anti-”Human Rights Commissions” are going to shut these blogs down?

Might as well pack and go home now and call it quits.

I had a feeling my PR had dropped. I haven’t had nearly as many requests from advertisers this last month as I did in January.
