Top 100 UK Blogs
The Top 100 UK Blogs ranking was compiled by listing over 1400 UK blogs and calculating their popularity using the well known metrics of Alexa Ranking and Technorati Ranking for each site.
To combat the skew Alexa rankings have towards internet marketing and web design blogs we reduced the weighting Alexa had on the results by a factor of 4 before calculating the overall score. Rankings on this page are updated daily.

Excellent analysis there. I understand how difficult it can be to gather this data when trying to narrow down popular blogs to a specific section (I’m currently writing an article about the top Blogger powered blogs, which really is hard to gather data for!).
Any chance you could slot my blog in there somewhere (or perhaps the next time around)? I blog about Blogger at http://www.bloggerbuster.com, sole author and writing from Sheffield in the UK. (Technorati 1737 and Alexa 108,615 today).
Thank you for a great list!
