As a follow up to Gene’s post, I thought I’d offer a quick comparison of how some of the blogs you may (or may not) read shape up according to the Netcraft ranking of most visited web sites.
Guardian/CIF 122
Huffington Post 146
Harry’s Place 16,695
Atlas Shrugs 16,810
Guido Fawkes 17,307
Jihadwatch 21,527
Normblog 34,168
Butterflies and Wheels 35,529
Engage 46,615
Liberal Conspiracy 71,451
Pickled Politics 435,252
Socialist Unity 1, 179, 184.
Update Just to put this into a bit more perspective here’s a link to all the top ranking sites – including Facebook, top news sites, search engines, wikipedia etc. Political blogs are comparatively niche, although sites connected with major newspapers or broadcasters rank highly.
