Writing content could be more exciting when you’re inspired. Top bloggers on our industry really gives us the motivation to do more on improving our blog.

How can you recognize if a blog is popular?

You can always make a site traffic checking using traffic checking sites like the alexa. There you can see the information about the traffic ranking of a site. You can also get information by typing your blog url if you are using a sub-domained blog.

If you are a site owner, you can submit your site to alexa to get information about your site.

Submitting a site to alexa is simple. Just visit alexa and go to for site owner tab. Choose edit your listing and submit your site url. There you can add information about your site and about you.

You will need to confirm that you are the site owner of the site by confirming it to your site email or adding a file to your root directory.

Technorati top 100 blogs

Another way to recognize the popularity of a blog is by checking if it reaches Technorati’s top 100 blogs. Technorati provides the most comprehensive source of information in the blogosphere and it is the leading blog search engine in the web.

Huffingtonpost by Arianna Huffington is dominating the number one place in technorati top 100. It provides the latest breaking news and opinions. Second is Techcrunch by Micheal Arrington, which provides the latest news and trends about technology.

While the popular blogs motivates us in improving our blog, we should always stick to our own style and niche. Yes it is hard to stick to your niche when you found something that has the better ranking to us. And it makes us redirect our goal on their niche which is not ideal in improving a blog.

Do not envy a popular blog. Instead, inspire yourself with that blog and hold on your niche tight. Put in mind that that blog also starts to zero then succeed because of hardwork and dedication on it’s own niche.
