I’m always looking for new PR bloggers to follow. I’ve found several very good ones via The Friendly Ghost, a UK-based blogger at an unidentified agency. The Friendly Ghost has mashed together a formula based on Technorati Authority, Google Pagerank, Yahoo! links, etc. and ranked the most influential PR bloggers.
The complete list is revealing. Steve Rubel is at the top, naturally. The Bad Pitch Blog, one of my favorites, is number 25. There are many more useful sites listed as well.
In case you’re curious, this blog is ranked as the 62nd most influential amongst PR-centric blogs worldwide, sandwiched between Clogger and Josh Morgan. To illustrate why this ranking - like all rankings - is flawed, I somehow ended up higher on the list than David Strom and Paul Gillin’s Tech PR War Stories, which is a must-read/listen. The podcasts they host are invaluable.

Thanks for the nice words about Tech PR War Stories. I’ve been on many popularity lists over the years and published quite a few myself. Methodologies are inherently imperfect and one should always be suspicious of placement choices. I think lists are useful as a whole to identify useful and important stuff, but the choice of who’s #10 vs #25 should always be taken with a grain of salt.

The painful part is that I abandoned that domain about six months ago when I moved over to WordPress and http://www.donteattheshrimp.com
