Wikio Top Lib Dem Blogs, May 2011

6 May 2011 + 2 , ,

Here are the Liberal Democrat entries in the top 100 political blogs as ranked by Wikio:

1 (5) Liberal Democrat Voice   No change
2 (19) Jack of Kent Up 31
3 (33) Liberal England Up 6
4 (36) Caron’s Musings Up 2
5 (47) Mark Pack Up 12
6 (56) Mark Thompson Up 2
7 (74)   Lynne Featherstone   Up 19
8 (79) Liberal Vision Down 6
9 (81) Miss S B Up 14
10 (84) Peter Black New
11 (87) Paul Walter New
12 (98)   Nick Thornsby Down 8
  

No-one drops out this month, and Paul Walter and Peter Black both return to the top 100. I’ve commented in the past on how light the proportion of Lib Dem blogs in the Wikio top 50 is, but as you can see from this table that is starting to change. The old pattern of Lib Dem Voice and not much else in the top 50 and lots of Lib Dem blogs in the 80s and 90s is evolving into something healthier.

Under Wikio’s methodology the overall profile of blogs that tend to support a particular party or cause can become a self-reinforcing cycle because the higher a blog rates the more its links to other blogs count, so those blogs in turn come out higher and hence any links from them back to the original blog count more driving that blog higher and so on.
