This list endeavours to rank all the lists on social media/marketing blogs in Australia.
| 1. | Laurel Papworth’s adaptation of AdAge Power 150 | February ’09 | |
| AdAge’s Power 150 list main strength is the entry requirements. | |||
| 2. | Meg @ Blog Pond | April ’09 January ’09 May ’07 | |
| Meg produces lists around all kinds of topics, not just marketing. | |||
| 3. | Julian Cole @ Adspace Pioneers | June ’09 January ’09 October ’08 | |
| Julian has received lots of PR for his list. It’s only flaw is it’s community centric nature. | |||
| 4. | Jon @ Australian Blogs | I had the link and lost it *cry* | |
| Jon spends all his time talking about Australian blogs. | |||
| 5. | Gary Hayes’ adaptation of AdAge Power 150 | November ’08 | |
| He’s done the same trick as Laurel, but it seems he did it first. | |||
| 6. | Top Fifty Writing Blogs in Australia | June ’09 March ’09 | |
| I like this list as it’s a kind of overlap into marketing, but also a seperate community. | |||
| 7. | Smart Company | October ’08 | |
| This list is aimed at the lay person, and focused on business blogs. However, it’s not comprehensive. | |||
| 8. | AdAge Power 150 | Current | |
| Australia’s profile in this list is ever increasing and a good place to keep an eye out for good stuff. | |||
| 9. | Me @ Just Another Blog Ranker | Updated daily | |
| Unbiased & automatically updated, however, no human review/filter, which is critical. Also, it’s not comprehensive (yet) | |||
| 10. | B&T’s list (a copy of Julian Cole’s list) |
June ’09 | |
| Broken, and looks like it has been since February ’09. | |||
Laurel Papworth discusses the importance of leaderboards in communities, what do you think ?
And one of Australia’s top bloggers, Darren Rowse, view’s on ‘top blog’ lists.
The problem with ‘Australian Blogs’ for marketers
Blog’s based in Australia don’t necessarily have an Australian readership. What we need is a ranking of the top blogs READ by Australians. Julian? Hitwise?
