 | Top UK Affiliate Blogs By Technorati Ranking |
Dfinitive have blogged about the Top 30 UK Affiliate Marketing Websites and used Alexa Rank as their means for deciding who tops the charts. However, I’m not convinced that Alexa ranking has any definitive meaning, so let’s see how the top UK blogs fair using Technorati Ranking.
Firstly what is Technorati Rank?
Technorati Ranking relates to the number of sources that point to a particular weblog relative to other weblogs. The more sources referencing a weblog, the higher the Technorati ranking
For this experiement, the network sites have been ignored and the Dfinitive Ranking based on Alexa is given in brackets - this number has also been adjusted by 8 to remove the networks and Affiliates4U (so your true position on Dfinitive’s chart is the number in brackets plus 8!).

| 1 | Affiliate Blog | 30,370 (2) |
| 2 | Kieron | 32,046 (1) |
| 3 | Dfinitive | 53,371 (3) |
| 4 | James Little | 69,748 (-) |
| 5 | Fish and Clicks | 93,471 (16) |
| 6 | Jess Luthi | 78,633 (6) |
| 7 | One Little Duck | 124,190 (13) |
| 8 | Moose on the Loose | 130,614 (5) |
| 9 | Keith Bond | 144,766 (4) |

| 11 | Frostie | 148,887 (8) |

| 18 | Lammo.net | 639,409 (19) |
| 19 | Start as an Affiliate | 919,191 (15) |
| 20 | Existem Blog | 994,734 (21) |
| 21 | Affiliate Dogma | 1,800,751 (22) |
| 21 | Stephen Pratley | 1,800,751 (-) |
| 23 | Niche Marketing | 3,908,717 (12) |
So is this a better indicator of top affiliate blogs?
Well, as One Little Duck has jumped up quite a bit I’m naturally inclined to say yes (lol), although I guess those that have fallen will probably disagree. Fish and Clicks in 5th place (compared to 16th via Alexa) is perhaps the big winner, whilst Niche Marketing is the main faller. James Little takes 4th after demanding a recount because his blog url is not 3wdl.co.uk, but exwebjunkie.com.
Other than that, it’s much of a muchness in terms of position and probably doesn’t say too much different compared to the Alexa Rankings chart (what an awful conclusion this turned out to be! Note this by no means makes Alexa Ranking a valid statistic!). The main point then: Well, there’s not that much difference between the top two in either chart, and few affiliates in the UK would disagree that Fraser and Kieron are the UK affiliate blog leaders.
But if you’re a newbies to affiliate marketing (or even a long timer) don’t ignore the other blogs. Remember everyone listed above has different affiliate experiences and expertise. That means there’s plenty of help and advice to be gleaned from this vast array of affiliate knowledge!

Thanks for the re-count Jason
The day will come (hopefully) when Technorati follows 301 re-directs - I may even manage to get my correct ranking then!
