A first appearance on the chart for my friends over at Lunar.BBDO. Okay, so their agency is not as famous as W&K, but their blog is much more interesting. Have a look.
UK means UK-based. Ad blog means ad blogs not marketing blogs, so that excludes Gapingvoid. Although Paul Colman is now a planner at W&K (how’s it going, Paul? Your blog seems to be locked at the moment) he doesn't class Life In The Middle as an ad blog and Russell Davies no longer blogs about advertising, although his Campaign column continues to be utterly brilliant. I'm only counting English language blogs.
If I've missed anyone out, please tell me and I'll put them in next time.

Bonjour Scamp,
I don't blog anymore (I finally noticed that I wasn't actually saying anything worth saying).
Although if I did still blog I would obviously be high up in charts, so I should probably still get a mention.
Ten four.
Paul H. Colman.
Interesting as how my actual traffic has at least doubled since i first appeared on here but my ranking goes down, I guess everyone is getting more visitors. By the way, I'm now UK based.
Paul - you had plenty worth saying, and will be missed. I will find a way to keep mentioning your blog, in memoriam.
Rachel - everyone IS getting more visitors. Also, Alexa is rather inaccurate in that it only measures visits from people who have the Alexa toolbar installed, who tend to be techies and bloggers. So a blog that is more popular with a general audience than it is with bloggers and techies could have an artificially low ranking.
Scamp, agree with you on Lunar BBDO's blog - always interesting.
While Weiden and Kennedy's is tedious beyond belief. You've got to do abit more than show your own ads and your kerrazy office away days!
I noticed you didn't include Copyblogger, which usually ranks #1 or 2 on the Ad Age Power 150 in the US
Fascinating site especially when you realize how popular it is.
www.copyblogger.com
PS: Congrats to Lunar & interesting about Alexa rankings - I'm surprised anyone in adland has that installed.
Thanks, Scamp.
In truth, I might start blogging again somewhere else, about something else, we'll see. Maybe about how tedious life is at W+K (joke, if you're reading, Neil).
"Tedious beyond belief"? Clearly we need to dial up the crazy on those awaydays in order to have something more exciting to report.
Funny how the slaggers are always anonymous.
The AdAge Power 150 is really strange. Adscam goes up and down all the time but by HUNDREDS of positions. Fucking weird. Anyway most of these rankings are not very accurate (except yours CHIMP he said, rapidly kissing arse) What counts is the millions of dollars I get from writing AdScam... That's known as fucking SARCASM for any American readers. Still If you can nudge me up the SCAMP ranking, the check will be in the mail. That's known as LIES.
Cheers/George
Hi Scamp,
my current Alexa rating is 449,869. Would you be so kind and check " The Kaiser Edition" the next time you put this list together.
Cheers,
Marcus.
Will do.
Have linked to you also.
Thanks and I've returned the link love. Of course.
Hullo Scamp. We're relatively new - but according to Alexa, we seem to be doing alright.

Would you mind having a look and letting us know (james.gm at 77pr.co.uk) whether we might be admitted, perchance?
Ta everso.
Nice blog James. I've added you to my blogroll and will factor your ranking into future charts.
Thanking you most kindly ...
Cheers,
J
