Managed to stay on or near the top all year of Web Analytics Blogs, regardless of how they're being measured; in  Top Ten Web Analytics Blogs: July 2007 Avinash Kaushik has Webmetricsguru as the #3 top Web Analytics Blog using a new ranking system designed by Kevin Hillstorm; Avinash adapted Hillstorm's formula somewhat but kept the main part of it.

"..For my best web analytics blogs ranking I am using Technorati and Feed Subscribers. I have come to appreciate the number of feed subscribers as the best success metric for a blog (see: Tips For Measuring Success Of Your Blog).

My feed subscribers is hovering around 1400 right now and I have an average visit count of around 1000 per day (unless I write about something that ends up driving extraordinary traffic – which has happened a lot lately).  I don't pay much attention to my Technorati rank either, to me it's becoming irrelevant – but that's just my opinion.  Here's the top 10 Web Analytics Blogs:

I read half the blogs on the top list anyway, and can now post to Web Analytics World – just haven't gotten around to it yet! 

Eric Peterson posted a comment to Top Ten Web Analytics Blogs: July 2007 suggesting Avinash drop Technorati Rank out of the equation – I tend to agree with Eric on this – it's not so much that Technorati is wrong – it's that a lot of sites, including mine, have periods of time where Technorati does not update it's records properly. Personally, I'd like to see what the list looks like with out Technorati, with just FeedBurner RSS Subscribers…. but that's just me.
