Number 24 in top Make Money Online blogs list
I received an email from Mark at 45n5.com yesterday telling me about a new list he has put together of the top make money online blogs.
The purpose of the list is to help readers of blogs like mine find other blogs on a similar theme. Its a good list and nice to see me on there at 24. I’ve already found a few blogs that I wasn’t aware of in the list and have bookmarked them for my daily read.
Its interesting to see that Mark has employed a ranking algorithm that seems to be based on Google PageRank, Technorati and Alexa. Out of them all I struggle most with Technorati as I don’t get involved in their community, maybe I should to help improve my Technorati rank, but it just seems like a lot of effort to me and I’d rather just focus on writing new content for my blog instead.
Of course the other reason Mark has created the list is that its great linkbait, I’m linking to it for example as are a couple of other bloggers on the list. So well done Mark. On the other hand I wouldn’t link to it if I didn’t think it was a good enough article, but it is and Mark has obviously put a lot of time and effort into it.
Can anybody think of any blogs that aren’t listed on the list that should be?

Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I run UK Offer Media Ltd. I thought it would be fun to post a daily (well hopefully daily) blog, writing about my experiences in Internet Marketing and more specifically Affiliate Marketing. I'll include some personal stuff too, probably about my other passions, music and cars. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.

Jon’s aojon.com isn’t on there. But maybe that was editorial choice

@chromate - I just added jon and a few others which altered the rankings some, thanks for the suggestion.
@Kieron - thanks a bunch for the mention. You have a very nice subscriber count but unfortunately that isn’t a universal stat (not everybody shows it) but I think you should be higher.
The rankings are new, so I’m getting feedback for awhile and will improve eventually, and then hopefully you will get a much nicer ranking
Thanks much for the mention.
Mark

Is Kirsty’s Blog On it, I couldn’t see it and for me it’s taken my top spot in the reader.

Mark you could pick up Bloglines, but that gives the benefit to older blogs and those who have merged their feeds correctly
You could also use Feedburner, and just tell people they won’t get the points if they don’t make the stats open. (what will people do for higher ranking)

Congratulations mate - but the list shows you as 34 not 24 :o( However you deserve it as your blog defo inspires newbies to give it a go, and ‘points’ them in the right direction without giving too much away.
I do however hesitate over these lists, and notice that this particular one is very US orientated. I’m sure many of us over in good old blight would come up with a completely different list.
I am also surprised that Macca’s blog isn’t listed but I guess its down to how you publicise your blog. Out there (and in my favourites) are a lot of blogs that contain useful advice on money making ideas and suggestions, but maybe they just aren’t as widely read the webmaster isn’t particularly bothered about Technoburner or whatever its called
Still a very good compiled list, a few of which I haven’t heard of but will be certainly visiting to see what they have to offer.

Chris, Mark has been working hard updating the list since he launched it over the weekend. Hence my getting pushed down the rankings as other blogs are listed. However he’s also expanded the list to well over 100 now.
P.S. If you think the list is a bit US centric then maybe you should create a UK one?
