Are you reading the right stuff? Alexa.com is a web information resource that -- among other things -- ranks websites by their traffic data.
Below is the May 2007 Alexa rankings I compiled of 30 popular financial blogs. The ranking is measured against all US websites in the Alexa universe, blogs or otherwise.
For this list, I excluded the huge financial behemoths, and to make the cut, each blog had to be ranked in the top 1,000,000 most popular US websites. Links to most of these blogs are included further down on this page, under Links.
This list is fascinating evidence that quality content virally finds its own audience. Congrats to all the winners, and happy reading.

ReplyDeleteIf good writing is the key, then The dk Report should be gracing that list soon...

Aw man..scratching at the backdoor with a 1,029,914 number.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot barry ritholtz at 28,000 and maoxian at 265,000.
ReplyDeleteHi anon...forget Ritholtz? Impossible. He's "The Big Picture" at #2. Yes, maoxian is a very good blog, along with at least a dozen more that aren't on the list. It was hard making those choices.
ReplyDeleteSteven...Value Blog Review is actually in a class by itself and deserves a well-earned exception. You provide a great service with your sharp-eyed commentary. Thanks for all the times I've visted VBR.
ReplyDeleteHey chris...you do very nice work at chrisperruna, and it shows just how many great blogs were left on the cutting room floor.
ReplyDeleteNice list..Dk..gimme a coupla years..and I'll be on there !!
ReplyDeleteAlexa is bullshit and I hope they file bankruptcy, within the week.
ReplyDeleteMy bullshit blog pulls in more traffic than 75% of those retards.
However, unlike everyone else, I have a ban on all readers over the age of 47 1/2.
thanks for sharing that dk, how I wish I would have shared optionpundit.net with you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks and a great idea to share. This list gives a good place to look for some quality blogs for great insights. I am going to keep this list so I can visit more often :)
Profitable trading, OptionPundit
For anyone interested, Broker A's blog is flyonwallstreet.
ReplyDeletePhil's Stock World is ranked at 229,429, hope we can make the next round.
ReplyDeleteI hope I make the next one too. Good list.
ReplyDeleteAlthough my blog is not in the list, but I have to say you did a good job.
