We’re pleased to announce and share with you the Moreover top 100 blogs, lifted from the UGC Metabase.

Blogs are ranked by number of inbound links from other blogs in the Moreover White List,  an index of ~250,000 active blogs. We’ll be updating our top 100 in time as we grow the White List and refine the ranking calculations.

Where known the blog platform is given, with WordPress re-affirming its popularity, accounting for no less than 39 blogs (see Pingdom’s analysis of Technorati’s top 100 for comparison). The top two spots meanwhile go to CNET.

We have just released a new Moreover feed rank for blogs and podcasts, available as part of the UGC Metabase.  It’s a 1-to-10 blog ranking with Rank 1’s top blogs, Rank 2’s sub-top, etc, down to Rank 10 for less significant blogs.  Basis for the ranking is the number of inbound links a blog receives from other blogs.

We’ll be sharing some of the results in the form of ‘top x lists’ shortly - after all who doesn’t like a good list…
