4 up, 3 down, 1 off, 2 you-call-it.

Out of 14 categories on the previous ranking, a mere four maintained their previous position. Science Fiction & Fantasy dropped out of the overall Top 100, as of the December 19 th update. The “you-call-its” are at the top of the ranking below. Journal and Poetry, for the umpteenth time in the last... Sign in to see full entry.

6 up, 5 down, 3 off, one on, and 3 even.

Whew! After a rating in which hardly anything changed, one so blah that I put it in “Notapoet’s Needless Lists of Unnecessary Info,” we have one here in which almost everything changed: 1. Journal (21, #3) 2. Poetry (18, #9) 3. Opinion (14, #1) 4. Everything Else (13, #2) 5. Humor (8, #10) 6. News &... Sign in to see full entry.

Something different

…just because I said I had other things I’d like to consider. Friday I was in and out of here in a hurry. I cover a high school ball game most Friday nights and don’t always have a lot of time to blog the way I would like to. I did, however, take the time to copy and paste the overall Top 100 so I...

Four up, two down, two off, and one ?

In a nutshell, that is an overview of my latest ranking of the categories on Blogit‘s Top 100 as of the December 14 th update. It sounds a lot more dramatic than it actually is, as you‘ll see in a minute Four categories in the lower half of the ranking moved up such a miniscule amount that it‘s... Sign in to see full entry.

The Least Popular Categories

They are mostly the newer categories, or ones that were pared off an old category and lost their following in the process. They are characterized by the fact that few bloggers have attempted them, and even fewer are posting with any frequency. The most popular categories regularly place eight or...

More of the same old same old.

I don’t even want to talk about it anymore. You figure it out. 1. Journal (21, #1) 2. Poetry (19, #8) 3. Opinion (10, #2) 4. Humor (10, #9) 5. Everything Else (9, #6) 6. Religion & Spirituality (7, #12) 7. News & Politics (6, #5) 8. Family & Parenting (4, #61) 9. Single Life (2, #7) 10. On Blogging... Sign in to see full entry.

I surrender.

Just when it looked like everything had more or less stabilized for a while, categories start imitating jumping beans. In a single day Journal jumps back to a razor thin #1, News & Politics falls a notch, Family & Parenting leapfrogs into the top 10, two categories drop out of the Top 100 (Health &...

Three is the charm.

Monitoring the most popular blogs in the Top 100 for three consecutive days has convinced me. Not only does Poetry rule for the time being, Journal is the only legitimate contender for the most popular spot. The next five spots are also unchanged over the same three-day period. Single Life and On... Sign in to see full entry.

The verdict is in.

Everything I said yesterday still applies as far as this follow-up ranking to yesterday’s post is concerned. Indeed, the categories and the numbers are virtually identical for the first 12 spots. The differences beyond that are relatively insignificant except for the addition of a 16 th category to... Sign in to see full entry.

Back to the rankings.

Have you missed them? Probably not. I know I haven’t missed taking the time it takes to put one together. Yet I keep doing it because I’m fascinated with where the top bloggers choose to post. There were a few surprises in store for me after my stint working on a NaNoWriMo project. Poetry, after... Sign in to see full entry.

Poetry rules!

Yes, indeedy do. For the second update in a row, Poetry wiped out most of the competition for most popular category in the overall Top 100 on Blogit. If not for the still strong showing by former champ Journal I would have to say Poetry would be likely to reign supreme for weeks, if not months, to... Sign in to see full entry.

Two for one click

…sort of. Yup, two rankings today. But there is a slight difference between them. First up is a ranking of the most popular categories for one full week, seven whole days. The period covered is the seven days ending with the November 12 th update. For all practical purposes, since the update usually... Sign in to see full entry.

Anomaly?

I don’t know. You tell me. Until about four weeks ago the category of News & Politics usually placed two or three blogs in the Top 100. As we drew closer to the recent election it picked up to double that, and by early last week seemed to have settled in at a regular six blogs in each new Top 100. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Ditto what I said last time:

For those who might not have caught my last post, I’m referring to my lead statement in which I indicated it had not been planned to post another ranking of the Blogit categories so soon. I changed my mind because it seemed noteworthy that 20 different categories had made it into the Top 100. Guess... Sign in to see full entry.

The latest category ranking:

I had not planned on doing another ranking of the most popular blogs in the Top 100 quite so soon. But the October 7 th update showed me that 20 categories were represented on that particular day. So I thought I’d share it with you. 1. Journal (23, #1) 2. Everything Else (12, #2) 3. Poetry (12, #10)... Sign in to see full entry.

Ancient History

Well, sort of. Blogit hasn’t been around long enough to have any history that is more than a few years old. Following is a ranking of the categories I posted exactly three years ago: 1. Opinion (22, #1) 2. Everything Else (14, #2) 3. Journal (11, #17) 4. Blogging (8, #3) 5. Religion & Spirituality... Sign in to see full entry.

Now for something a little different:

Here is a ranking of the most popular blogging categories that is more than just a snapshot. It turns out that I had collected enough data off the Top 100 through October to create an Overall Top 15 ranking of the most popular categories for a one month period ending October 31. The number following... Sign in to see full entry.

Rankings, rankings, I've got the rankings.

As of the 10-23 update, the following categories placed the most blogs in the overall Top 100 over the last seven days: 1. Journal (23, #1) 2. Everything Else (18, #2) 3. Poetry (13, #11) 4.
