BlogPulse.com Is Tracking Over Ten Million Blogs

Posted on April 28, 2005

BlogPulse.com announced on Monday that they are now tracking over ten million blogs. They also have a list of top ten blogs ranked by the number of citations. There are some differences between the Top 10 on BlogPulse.com and the Top Ten on Technorati. We commented on the BlogPulse blog as to why Talking Points Memo (which is ranked #5 on Technorati) did not make the BlogPulse Top Ten. Sue MacDonald, who runs the blog at BlogPulse.com, told us that Talking Points Memo came in at #11 on the latest BlogPulse ranking. So it was still right up there with the rest of the blogs but dropped from #7 to #11 since last year.

Still confusing is why Albino Black Sheep, which is on the BlogPulse Top Ten list, is not in the Technorati 100, although it should be since it has more incoming links than other blogs included in the Technorati 100. Technorati says Albino Black Sheep has over 5,000 incoming links from over 3,700 sources. Maybe there is a glitch of some kind.

BlogPulse.com continues to add new blogs. They added over 50,000 new blogs in the past 24 hours. It will interesting to see how long it takes them to get to 20 million. BlogPulse.com also posted about how active these ten million blogs were:

According to our statistics, 31% are active within the last 30 days, 44% are active within the last 60 days and slightly more than half (51%) are active within the last 90 days. "Active" means a new post has been added.

The owners of the blogs with no posts in over 60 days might want to make a post before their readers abandon them for good -- if they haven't already.
