Ignite Social Media ranked #1 agency social media blog

I woke up to a nice post today on the Cision Blog called “Revisiting the Top 100 Social Media & Internet Marketing Bloggers.” There have been lots of “Top 10,” “Top 50” or “Top 100” lists before, but most have been based on either a simple metric or a particular blogger’s preferences. But this list uses data to see which sites users prefer the most, from the number of visitors to how long they stay once they get there. According to that new data, here are the top 10 (of 100) social media and internet marketing blogs:

  1. Mashable
  2. Ignite Social Media <– that’s us!
  3. Problogger
  4. ReadWriteWeb
  5. MediaShift
  6. Danny Brown
  7. aimClear Blog
  8. Seth Godin’s Blog
  9. Social Media Today
  10. Social Business

Check out the full list of 100 here.  What was particularly gratifying about this list is that Cision used real data (from their tool and Compete) to rank these sites based on audience behaviors, including:

  • Average Unique Visitors per Month (available in CisionPoint),
  • Average Page Views per Month per Unique Visitor,
  • Average Time (seconds) per Month per Unique Visitor, and
  • Average Visits per Month per Unique Visitor

So really, thank you for coming to our site, staying around a while and coming back periodically. Pretty much all of my favorite blogs are on the list, so to be included at all is an honor. To be ranked second only to Mashable and to be ranked first among all agencies is humbling. Excuse me while I go around the office to make sure we’ve got more content coming asap!
