Well, actually I came out at a rather ego-rrific #11 out of the list, with Adrants and Seth's Blog tied in 1st and 2nd positions respectively and Rubel in at 15th. fellow crayonista Shel Holtz came in at 28.
Of course my headline was meant to be intentionally misleading. Jaffe Juice did however, receive the joint highest score (14 out of 15) in the "highly influential Todd And Point category"
Here is the methodology behind the Todd And score:
Todd And Points (1 to 15) â As the only subjective measure in the Power 150 algorithm, 1 to 15 opinion points were assigned to each blog. Todd And values frequent, relevant, creative and high-quality content. The use of audio, video and graphics is also heavily weighted in the Todd And Points.
But kidding aside, I don't have that big a problem with this highly unscientific subjective call. I've always said that bloggers are not journalists (for the most part) and are absolutely biased. In fact, it is that bias that is part of the attraction. The bias is often manifested in the form of passion and it is arguably more transparent than many mainstream outlets that receive labels as "left-leaning" and "right-wing" and yet continue to call themselves "fair and balanced"
Yes, the Power 150 is nothing more than an endearing link-baiting effort (but one that I cannot criticize by virtue of my lofty position) That said, it certainly has value (much like The Viral Garden's Top 25 Marketing Blogs of which I am 13th) for example, directing people looking for a collection of marketing blogs to a convenient list and we know how much everyone loves lists.
Thanks for the effort Todd. It certainly must have taken mega time to prepare and you've certainly been noticed :)
