Here's the Ad Blog Charts for March.
This time I've used Technorati rather than Alexa rankings, in other words it's based on number of links rather than traffic (incidentally Technorati also only ranks blogs, not websites in general).
A better method, do you think, or not?
The results are not amazingly dissimilar to last time, though some of the planners blogs have gone a bit higher - which sees Faris and Adliterate enter the chart. Congrats to them.

UK means UK-based. Ad blog means ad blogs not marketing blogs, hence no Gapingvoid. Paul Colman requested Life In The Middle not be classed as an ad blog, so Paul is not there. Also, I'm only counting English language blogs.
No doubt I've missed one out. Do let me know and I'll put it in next month.

I want to thank the little people who I will continue to step on in the future to remain on the list.
Darn it, that means dirty tricks used to get pervs to visit my dodgy posts aren't going to work any more.
gapingvoid is an ad blog, isn;t it? ;-)
While I'm uninterested in being included in the list, I do quite like being mentioned in the blurb underneath the it. Makes me sound quite pompous, in a way I quite like.
woot! Damnit, Hugh. Do you really need more attention! :)
Sad I know (& I'm not completely convinced I read Technorati data correctly), but I think this makes me in with a bullet at no.5 in the UK chart - hey,it's important to me ;-)

(And I'm sure there's others out there who would beat me anyway)
Jon - sorry I missed you off, I'll put you in next time. Keep up the good work at Living Brands, I really enjoyed checking it out today.
Paul - happy to continue mentioning that I'm not going to mention you...
Hugh - I don't know how to classify gapingvoid really. Is it a blog about advertising or... is it that the blog IS a form of advertising? Plus you're doing the marketing for Stormhoek and English Cut, right, not just our tiddly advertising bit? I suspect you're some kind of hybrid and we'll have to invent a special table just for you...
I was going to post that perhaps I was a sitter for tenth place (http://www.technorati.com/blogs/http%3A%2F%2Fmemehuffer.typepad.com) but that would have meant knocking Gwen off the list, and her blog is way more interesting than mine.
But it seems that Jon has popped me out of the top 10 anyway (sigh)
Jason you are right, it should have been you in tenth place.
To atone for my error, I shall now add Memehuffer to my blogroll, which i should have done before anyway as it is good.
How do you classify an "ad" blog, I think Only Dead Fish is great but not written by someone in a classic ad agency, but about advertising, brands, ideas etc
Thanks brother.
