ValueWiki Blog

In a particularly obsessive compulsive post last week, I decided to rank all the finance blogs I read, by Alexa and Technorati rank. To my surprise, several thousand of you came to read the list. Many of you offered good suggestions for corrections and inclusions. In one week, the list has grown from 40 blogs to 60. I wish I could somehow have invested in this.

Accuracy and Fairness
Alright, alright. So what is the point of this popularity contest? What does Alexa really measure? Is this high school all over again?

A lesson I learned while compiling these numbers is that many of my favorite bloggers are often toiling in obscurity. To this end, I took ten impressive blogs with Alexas over 1 million and blogged Ten Great Finance Blogs Flying Under the Radar. I encourage you to check out any new blogs you haven’t heard of. I wish I could provide similar reviews for all 60 blogs listed below, but what am I your butler? Go check ‘em out yourselves!

Including Your Blog
I invite you all to list your finance blog on the ValueWiki Blogroll. It’s a wiki, so anyone can edit. Soon I will post this Alexa list on the ValueWiki website as well, so you can update your stats yourself. In the meantime, you are welcome to post your blog in the comments (including your TR and A ranking is helpful for my updates).

So without further ado…
