You could call this a high-click post. It gets more traffic than some blogs will ever get. It won a trip to BlogWorld. A national association just asked for republishing rights. More sites link into “Becoming a Subject Matter Expert on LinkedIn: The Top Ten Ways” than any other post on my blog. And, now it’s in a book.

Searching for popular blogs to follow? Yahoo’s Blog directory lists blogs by category. Shown here is a screen capture I took this morning. At the time, Wired PR Works was number one. So . . . I told my newsletter subscribers about it. [Apologies to my newsletter readers for letting this news get me too carried away. You'll be pleased to know my ego is back in check.]

And then . . . I decided to take a look at …

Last Saturday, I discovered Wired PR Works blog led a group of 100 PR blogs –by over 650% – in the most improved Technorati ranking category.

My big audience for my big announcement?

Two boys: ages 9 and 13. The location: my sister’s almost empty attic.

My announcement went something like this . . .

Me: Hey guys, my blog just got named number one! 

9 year old: Uh . . . where does it say that?

Me: See, here’s a chart and …

Congratulations go out to every PR blogger who made Brendan Cooper and Matthew Watson’s recently released top-ranked PR blog lists.

It Pays to Put PR in the title of your blog

Matthew bases his Top 50 PR blog rankings on the AdAge Power 150. He looks for blogs with PR, Public Relations or Publicity in the title. I admit it, I prefer the PR sound and focus over marketing, although we talk about that here too, don’t we?

Continually Refining and Measuring …

That’s my only update on Friday night, the first night of BlogHer 08. If I ever needed confirmation that someone valued what I had to say, this was it. Making it onto Alltop’s online PR blog feed-magazine rack, a collection of the best of the best feeds, was a dream come true for me. What timing!
