THE UK'S TOP MARKETING WEBLOGS
UPDATE: Just took a look and it turns out that the AdAge chart was throwing a bit of a wobbler yesterday. It was more than likely something to do with Technorati. Probably. Anyhow, re-ran the chart today and all looks more or less back to normal. Apologies for any confusion all.
First up ... a small plea. AdAge, in their infinite wisdom, have made it a bloody sight harder to create these tables - you now can't pull off the whole table in one go and now have to do things page-by-page.
SO, while we're really happy that people seem to be interested in this table, can I just ask that people don't copy and paste it wholesale into their own blogs, please? Okay, it may not be terribly social network-ey, but credit where it's due (and, in this case, a couple of hours credit are due), please link back to this page? Thanking you kindly in advance ...

For those who may be interested, this chart is based on the AdAge Power 150,
the top UK bloggers on all things advertising and marketing on 1 August
2008. 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.
Thanks for a great resource, as ever - and nice to see some upwards movement for my blog!
I normally seem to go on holiday just before these reports get done!

A pleasure Dan. I know how you feel matey ... still, at least your movement is in an upward direction!

James, do you think you could remove Behind the Buzz? I stopped writing for it in October so it's no longer a UK blog (in fact, it's not yet got a new writer). I've asked for the country to be changed in the AdAge150 as well.
I've got a new blog now at Digital Stuffing, so busy trying to build that one up.

No worries Rachel, will do my best to remember to take it out of the next chart at the beginning of February.
Best of luck with Digital Stuffing - have popped it on the "links we love".
Cheers,
J.

Very much a pleasure, Chris. Good work indeedy!

Internet marketing is indeed very different from traditional marketing. In the field of internet marketing the webmaster uses all possible means for promotion just from the comfort of his small office or his bedroom.
