If you want to know how popular a blog is you can go to Alexa and check its rating.
A week or so ago blogger Tim Lambert listed the ‘Top ten right-wing Australian blogs’ based on their Alexa-rank.
The lower the number the more popular the blog.
Tim Blair blitzed the field with a score of 50,087, followed by Catallaxy at 225,663 and then Gravatt.org at 488,606. Number 10 at a whooping 3,394,951 was the Australian Libertarian society.
A reader of this blog sent me an email asking why I wasn’t listed.
Based on this morning’s rating I would have apparently come in third, with an Alexa rating of 477,565 (and 311,301 in the last week).
I reckon I wasn’t listed because this is not a right-wing blog.
Tim Blair has done a list of popular left-wing Australian blogs and I’m not there either. Then again this is not really a left-wing blog.
This has really developed into a blog for progressive environmentalists.
After all, as Professor David McKnight has explained, the good guys are always the progressives.
