Top 100 Media Blogs in the United States

The Mequoda Research Team has made a list of the top 100 media blogs in the country based on unique page visitors per month.

By Adam T. Sutton, Managing Editor, Mequoda Group LLC

In the sprawling and volatile blogosphere, mining for a gem of a site is hard work. That’s why the Mequoda Research Team created the free Mequoda Blog 100. Mequoda has identified the top 100 media blogs in the US to show our readers how the best blogs run their websites.

Mequoda Group and Compete developed the Mequoda Blog 100 based on monthly unique visitor counts, aggregating multiple-blog sites across the publication. Mequoda Group and Compete will be continually monitoring over 300 of America's most popular media blogs and reporting to our readers their monthly:

  • Ranking
  • Unique page visits
  • Page views per user
  • Sessions per user
  • Seconds per user

If you know of or publish a media blog that you feel should be monitored by Mequoda, please email it to Blog100@mequoda.com for addition to our database.

The Mequoda Blog 100 is a snapshot of America’s widely varying interests. There are gadget and technology blogs like Engadget and Gizmodo; celebrity gossip blogs like TMZ and PerezHilton.com; newspaper blogs like The Washington Post; and even the ridiculous Ask A Ninja comedy blog.

Every publisher should appreciate blogs. They are perfect for publishing content and allowing user feedback in a structured way—drawing users with similar interests to both read and post at the same website. Users generate revenue at these Internet Hubs, but not by paying for content. They spend time at the site, increasing advertising inventory that can be sold to sponsors on a CPM, CPC or a CPA basis.

The Mequoda Research Team has analyzed more than 2,000 media websites and identified the Internet Hub Sub Archetypes like the Blog Hub in our Generating Website Revenue 2007 special report. In the report, publishers can study the details of the Mequoda Seven Primary Website Archetypes—the basic templates from which similar websites are patterned—and learn how to increase online advertising revenue. It is information that no online publisher should be without.
