Popular Parent Bloggers

Inspired by Todd And’s Power 150, a listing of the top English language marketing blogs, I compiled my own set of ranking factors to create a list of Popular Parent Bloggers. The original list of popular parent bloggers premiered in April 2007. Did you make the updated list? Here they are, ranked in order of popularity:

5 Minutes for Mom Scribbit Rocks in My Dryer Boo Mama amalah . com* HerBadMother An Island Life Write from Karen Lil Duck Duck Fussy* Trying to Catch up Troll Baby* Sprittibee Here comes a storm* Everyday Mommy The Miscellaneous of an Australian Mum Plain Jane Mom* Principled Discovery MamaArcher Ever After . . . My Way (Twisted Cinderella)

Sweetney* Sparks and Butterflies Big Mama Frog and Toad Are Still Friends The Bean Blog* Woulda Coulda Shoulda An Ordinary Mom Three Kid Circus Embracing Momminess Mommy off the Record* Metro Mama* Our Journey to “Little Maple” and back… Antique Mommy Suburban Turmoil* White Trash Mom* Changed by His Love Petroville Don’t Try This at Home MamaBlogga It coulda’ been worse

The * denotes blogs that use strong language from time to time.

Ranking factors
The Popular Parent Bloggers ranking is based on:

• Technorati ranking
• Number of blogs linking to your blog
• Number of MyBlogLog community members
• Number of Bloglines subscribers
• Google PageRank (just for the heck of it)
• The number of comments received in a week (weighted most heavily; I picked the last week in August 2007 to make it all equal).
