So glad to see this place thriving

We already knew we were awesome. Time the rest of the internet knew

EDIT: Maybe that's why this place has been crawling of late?

I'm guessing domain authority and SEO is a big factor. Pretty amazing for this site to be up there with the likes of Reddit.

I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of any of the top five

Clicking on the about this list gives this.

Feedspot has a team of over 50 experts whose goal is to discover, rank and categorise popular blogs and podcasts. We have curated over 250,000 popular blogs and categorised them in more than 5,000 niche categories and industries. With millions of blogs on the web, finding influential, authority and trustworthy bloggers in a niche industry is a hard problem to address. Our experience leads us to believe that a thoughtful combination of both algorithmic and human editing offers the best means of curation.

There are several ways we discover new feeds.

Publishers submit their blogs, podcasts or youtube channels on Feedspot using the 'Submit' form at the top of this page.
We have a research team who does extensive research on google and social media platforms to discover new influencers.
Feedspot has in-house media monitoring tools for discovering bloggers in several niche categories.
Our expert editorial team reviews each blog before adding them to relevant category list.



Ranking is based on

Relevancy
Industry blogs (those not favoring a specific brand) are given higher rank than blogs by individual brands(who often tend to promote their own products).
Blog post frequency(freshness)
Social media follower counts and engagements
Domain authority
Age of a blog
Alexa Web Traffic Rank and many other parameters.
We routinely remove inactive blogs and those which are no longer relevant to a given list. List is updated as we receive new blog submissions and re-ranked every few weeks. We also take direct feedback from users to make changes to the lists.

If you have any feedback or would like to get in touch with our editorial team, you can email us at [email protected]

No idea who these "experts" are...
