Again this month I was contacted by somebody at Wikio… though somebody different… and asked if I would like to post the early version of the gaming blog rankings.
Last month I was in 29th place.
This month I am still in 29th place.
Let’s hear it for consistency… or constancy… or something.
Anyway, here is the September list.
(Actually, they call it the October list, because they publish it in October, but it is based on data collected in September. So I find September to be a more accurate description.)
- Kotaku
- Joystiq
- PlayStation.Blog
- Destructoid
- Siliconera
- Game|Life – Wired Blog
- GameSetWatch
- Massively
- Penny-Arcade
- IndieGames.com – The Weblog
- WOW Insider
- GiantBomb’s Site Mashup
- GamePolitics.com
- The Brainy Gamer
- PlayStation LifeStyle
- That VideoGame Blog
- Broken Toys
- Ian Bogost
- Jay is Games
- Dueling Analogs
- PS3 NEWS
- Fidgit
- Gamezebo
- Koku Gamer
- Tobold’s MMORPG Blog
- GayGamer.net
- Cinema Blend Games
- Kill Ten Rats
- The Ancient Gaming Noob
- Virtual Worlds News
It looks like it is going to be a pretty static list month after month.
I couldn’t be bothered to actually compare the two lists to see if anybody changed positions. That would take more effort than I am willing to invest.
I did notice was that The Koalition, who held the bottom spot last month, was replaced by Virtual World News this month. My condolences to The Koalition.
Oh, and the GayGamer got in behind Tobold. I’m sure there is deeper meaning in that.
So what do you think of this list? Should I continue posting it every month, if I continue to make the top 30? They only invite you to preview it if you are on the list.
Oh, and WoW Insider changed their name to WoW.com like a year ago. Get with the times.
The Ancient Gaming Noob 
Actually, funny thing is that WoW.com is WoW Insider again. AOL must have wanted the WOW domain for something else. :)

@Anjin – Well I’ll be buggered, so it has! When did that happen?
Better change my blogroll!
Shows how often I’ve been there of late. I tend to favor Massively, as WoW.com… or WoW Insider again… delivers WoW information at a rate that has proven to cause cancer in laboratory rats.
Oh, I see AOL wants WoW.com for a discount shopping site URL! Yes, spool makes no sense.
And The WoW folks have be stuck with Joystiq.
Still, I feel more up to date than Wikio who is still pointing to the pre-WoW.com URL.

Seldom have I seen such a valuable domain name wasted as foolishly as that wow.com discount shopping crap.

@Carson – Sadly, the site will probably make more money flogging useless daily discount “deals” that it will being a news site for one of the biggest money making online games.
Now where does the new WoW.com fall on this map?

Crap, I voted before I saw the stapling machine for badgers.
We have a deep family tradition regarding stapling machines and badgers. I’ve done a great disservice to my kin and kin-laws.

It’s a bit curious. Strangely enough I used to hang around in the higher ranks at MassiveBlips when it was around. At this ranking list I don’t even make it into top 100. Obviously they must make their ranking in very different ways.
