Number 45 with a bullet
Saturday, May 2, 2009 
This week Cision, "the leading provider of media intelligence services for communications professionals", published its first ranking of the UK’s leading 50 blogs. The list has come in for some criticism. It's just a "PR stunt", they sniff. (See HERE.)
As it happens, Taking Liberties is number 45. Seriously.
What I particularly like is the methodology by which the rankings were reached. According to Cision:
A longlist was compiled using an algorithm to reflect two key measures of web popularity, inbound links and traffic measured in monthly unique users.
For each blog these elements were weighted to achieve a balance between measurable impact to date (traffic) and likelihood of future impact (links as a proxy for search visibility).
The longlist was then reduced down to a Top 50, with each entry re-evaluated according to additional metrics, notably update frequency and total number of posts.
Sounds good to me. Full story HERE.

Well done!
Can I also add my congratulations too, it is a well written blog. To points, how many unique visits a month does Taking Liberties get? Also is it possible to have a link on the front page so we can go to after looking at the front page?
That's very good news, if it means that the blog attracts hordes of new visitors rather than a few of us accessing often.
