For those new to this chart, it’s based on rankings published by web metrics company Alexa, which measures visits by users who have the Alexa toolbar installed. As that’s mostly bloggers and techies, the chart is probably biased towards blogs which are popular with other bloggers, or tech-heads.
The definition of what is a blog as opposed to a website is becoming blurred. Some of the sites above are commercial ad archives, or the online versions of news-stand ad mags, which I'm now including for the first time. As long as the content is updated dailyish, and the blog portion of the site is separately measurable, I don't see why they shouldn't be in here.
Some people find the chart boring, others say it helps them discover new things. Me, I've just always loved charts. As a kid, I pored over the pop charts, and football league tables. That doesn't make me a geek, does it?
An ↑ means a blog's traffic has gone up by 15% or more in the last quarter, and a ↓ means it's gone down 15%.
UK means UK-based. Ad blog means ad blogs not marketing or PR blogs. I'm only counting English language blogs.
If I've missed anyone out, please tell me and I'll put them in next time.

Hmmm.
This has excited everyone...
Creative and anorak
bet you used to paint Subbuteo players too
No, Dungeons & Dragons figures...
gotta be honest i was actually surprised not to see good ol wal's blog up there in the UK chart.
Wal's blog is getting pretty good traffic. It isn't in the Top 10, but would be in a Top 20 if I did one.
my lexa rank sucks. sigh. damn alexa how can i charm thee and make thee love me?
I love the way it's referred to as 'wal's blog'. Just because Jai is Wal's copywriter for this year until he gets another one and refuses to leave behind his own old ad's, doesn't mean he shouldn't get a mention.
JAI. I love you brother.
Can I just confirm that I'm still not blogging, for now.
Faris...
Don't be upset... The Alexa rankings are widely regarded as a fucking joke. You have to have the Alexa toolbar installed to be counted. And why the fuck would you want to do that? The only true measure of how popular your blog is, is by the number of page views you get every day. Everything else is SHITE. I also measure the popularity of AdScam by the number of comments I get on every post. By these metrics (I hate that fucking word) AdScam is a very successful blog. Anyway, I enjoy writing it... And that's all that fucking counts. Time for a drink. Cheers/George
You can't use Alexa rankings like that... by that measure Tribble Agency would be somewhere in the middle of that list..
It's way to subjected to be gamed. I can modify anyone's rankings there all the way to the top 600 or so...
Nice one Scamp.
I am going to check out the 285,9121 websites that are above yours and report back.
Yup, they are slightly better.
Maybe they are. But they're not UK ad blogs, are they.
one day ;)
Is it just me, or have Campaign simply given up on the idea of delivering their lackluster publication on time?
