TOP UK MARKETING BLOGS: FROM ADAGE 150
Based on the AdAge Power 150, the top UK bloggers on all things advertising and marketing on 1 April 2008 (with no comedy additions what with it being Fool's Day and all).
If you feel that you should be included, you can get in touch with AdAge here, who will sort you out. As soon as you're in, I'll pick you up in this filleting of the AA chart.
Movements below are since I first tried a run of this fella in mid-March - and relate to shifts in the UK-only list and the Global list respectively. If nothing else, the moves showed that there is sufficient movement in the chart to make it worth tracking.

A thing to note: AdAge is still having a UK/Andorra problem: there is a heap of UK-bloggers categorised as coming from
Sorry to hear that Anglo-Andorran relations are not going so well.
Surely if there is one divide in the global PR community that should be bridged it is this one.
On a more serious note, +3! Must be that link on Robert Peston's blog drawing all the traffic:

I am delighted to be listed at #26.
I need to get my head around the Google algorithm, and the AdAge scoring matrix too; if I want to go up the table...
Alternatively I can just focus on posting what I believe is relevant content?
What a dilemma. I'll probably end up doing both.

Ben, Reckon that the Peston link will have helped.
Chris, I'd stick with the latter. Apart from anything else, a more interesting life for all concerned.
