Anglican Blogs - How do they stack up?

This is from a link at Stand Firm. I believe that this is a conversation that I started by doing the monthly Alexa ratings. The Stand Firm crowd has objected to the Alexa ratings, but I haven't heard anything from them lately. In the past two months SFIF has ranked ahead of David Virtue, but well behind the official pecusa site. I have stopped including the liberal sites like Episcopal Cafe and Thinking Anglicans in my monthly tallies because they are so far behind in ranking that they are hardly in the game.

It's indicative of the amount of ego that is involved in all this that the SFIF crowd keeps bringing this issue of rankings up. ed.

Out of a conversation today I started wondering just what the relative influence was of various Anglican Blogs. A good place to start thinking about this is Technorati, which ranks blogs on the basis of how many links from unique sites they have acquired in the past six months. That’s a much better way of assessing influence than raw page views, because referrals indicate that what you have to say is being treated as important.

So, without further ado, here is a preliminary table of Anglican(ish) blogs with a technorati influence over 25, and where they fit in the grand scheme of things. Some of the results might surprise you.

Virtue Online 371 Love him or loathe him, David Virtue is top of the pile when it comes to Anglican blogs that are linked to. Some say that’s a good thing, others start turning their Bibles to Genesis 11.
