I already mentioned that I’m not a big fan of traffic rankings for blogs, but despite the focus on traffic numbers, this is at least a subjectively filtered list of popular liberal/progressive blogs. The ranking isn’t as interesting as the fact that it’s a good list of politically copacetic blogs.
I also see that all I have to do is increase my traffic 10 or 20 fold to catch up with Daily Kos!
Uh oh. There’s that blasted number 23 again…
You should see that screen on my computer. All the top 100 links are unvisited — except Pharyngula.
Way to go, PZ.
Considering how I was savaged by the mindless illiterates at the Daily Kos a couple summers ago, you don’t really want to be in their crowd.
I hate rankings too, and consider them worthless menaces.
Mostly because when you google for “cuttlefish”, my site ranks below Answers in Genesis.

I like the name firedoglake. Maybe zebrafishpond. Yours and Phil Plait’s are the only ones highlighted on this college PC.

Most of Daily Kos’ traffic comes from Reddit and Digg.
If you want to catch up with them, you have to make Reddit an Digg-friendly articles. Not sure it’d be worth it. :P
Daily Kos is too much politics and not enough substance.
The humor here is enough to make Pharyngula a better read each day.
