Week 3: Naming Blog Rankings - We Have Movement!

December 11, 2006 | Tate Linden
Quite a few things going on this week:
  1. Away With Words breaks the good side of the 1 Million ranking mark. Congrats!
  2. Brandnama moves up almost TWO MILLION in the ranking and leapfrogs a few spots to reach the cusp of the top ten.
  3. Thanks to Steve Manning at Igor we've picked up another blog - albeit a blog that is only updated every few months. Welcome to A Hundred Monkeys/Ton of Bricks... (Echo.... echo... echo...)
  4. Igor International continues to hold three of the top five spots (Wordlab, Igor, Snark Hunting) but is in danger of losing a spot to Stoked Brands (#3) and Qwerky (#6)
  5. Competition to get into the top ten naming blogs has become quite fierce - with major gains in ranking from the 8th to the 12th position. Popwink is creeping up into contention.
  6. The percentage of Schrödinger's Blogs within the naming category increases to 22%. Someone stop the bleeding! (Steve... don't you know the folks over there? Get 'em writing!)
  7. I still haven't figured out how to get decent formatting (I tried automating it today and ended up taking about twice the time as last week...) so forgive the hard-to-read look. I'm workin' on it.

Thanks for the attagirl, Tate! I discovered that getting the Alexa toolbar made quite a difference. It was almost worth all the trouble Alexa put me through.

It certainly does get you a boost, doesn't it?
Also - I was sent a link by the kind folks at Markeys (a Dutch naming blog.) If I can find a translator I'll post a translated link of their site (and one to Pastelot as well.) Expect to see 'em in the list next week.

Markeys looks like Dutch to me, not Danish...

Whoops! Thanks for catching that.
