The complete A-list of the Indian Blogosphere
stored in: Blogs, India
A list of Indian blogs ordered by Technorati ranks is now available on Ploterati. This list is not updated anymore, please head over to Ploterati.

It’s an epic battle of biblical proportions in the blogosphere.

1,249,720 blogs have talked about India in the last 24 hours[1]. Ever since internet started exploding in India in 2002, hundreds and thousands of people have taken to blogging. A million minds are speaking out together at the same time. So who is the one who is getting heard, who are the people listening to.

This the question I set out to answer.

And the answer wasn’t easy. Every blog community comes out with it’s own answers, but those are not the ones I was looking for. I was looking for an impartial barometer, which could tell me quantitatively, about where the wind was flowing, or as they say in the blogosphere, where the clicks were going.

A list of Indian blogs ordered by Technorati ranks is now available on Ploterati. This list is not updated anymore, please head over to Ploterati.

When no single widget covers all of the Indian blogs, when no single Award could manage to draw even 0.005% of the online population, when no community catered for all the blogs that existed, I decided to choose that option which had the largest sample size. And that is how I turned to Alexa.

Humans are not perfect, so how can you expect programs made by them to be perfect. Yes, Alexa has it’s own flaws, but it does have access to the largest sample size in the Indian Blogosphere. (By the way, the guys have Alexa have completely lost it now. This is bad.).

A lot of people have been telling me that the A-link does not exist. Here is a clipping from a blog that I read
its about their ability to be so close to The News, that they’re either creating it, reporting it, or delivering it. These guys, through their connections, their businesses, or their activities are real influences in the real industry of choice.

You cannot BUT help but pay attention to them because they are a genuine source of News in any way that you want to define it.

And its ludicrous to say that ‘a-listers’ don’t exist.


Read the complete post here.

So after three days, of a massive hunt for the most widely recognized blogs on our terrain, I am finally here with my final list on Indian blogs, which I can conclusively say are the “A-list of the Indian Blogosphere“. (This post is tagged ‘Indexxxer‘ on technorati, do link up to that too)

A list of Indian blogs ordered by Technorati ranks is now available on Ploterati. This list is not updated anymore, please head over to Ploterati.

If you are in the list, I’m sure you already know you’re one of them. But if you aren’t, now you know how far away you are from the top dogs of our huge online blogging community.

So I bring to you, The Complete A-List of The Indian Blogosphere

And what if you not on this list?

I’m not going to make it too hard on myself. Only if your blog ranks amongst the top 5,00,000 on Alexa (you can check here), link this post from your blog, and as soon as I see it here, I’ll add you here.

And how will you find out if I’ve linked to you or not? Just subscribe here by email or rss, and we’ll be in touch.

    My reactions on my blog but nevertheless a worthwhile exercise. BTW, did you check the Alexa ranking of Debonair Blog? :)

  3. Abhijit Nadgouda Says:
    March 28th, 2007 at 8:52 am

    The numbers made me feel good, thanks! Though I do not believe in their accuracy :-)

    BTW, one correction, the blog title is “iface thoughts”. iface is one word - a shortform for interface.

    One good thing this list does is collects a lot of good Indian blogs together, I will suggest eliminate the ranking, the list by itself is pretty good.

    Patrix, I get your point :) I’ll try this with Technorati, the next time.

    Abhijit, done, it’s iFace now. Maybe the next time I’ll get rid of the rankings too.

    Most of the times, people link to posts they like, and you don’t care what the rank of the blog is. But this time I wanted to see, which ones are getting more traffic.

    Dugg (folks, please digg this one up) and linked from my personal blog, good effort and well-presented, but Alexa is an unreliable source.

    Don’t care much about rankings, great collection of blogs - where’s Om Malik, DebonairBlog, etc.?

    Looking forward to the enhanced lists.

    Hi, good effort but there are some issues.
    1. We at the Mutiny is listed as mutiny.wordpress.com at alexa
    Mutiny.in is ranked much lower because we are forwarding from that URL.

    2. We only started referencing/tagging ‘India’ very recently.

    3. When you say ‘Indian’, it would be great if you can stick to ‘Indian’ blogs. Not south asian, desi or brown blogs.

    best regards,

    Jacob

  11. Vercingetorix Says:
    March 28th, 2007 at 9:09 pm

    Hi Jacob,

    I chose the blogs from a variety of resources, not just those tagged ‘india’.

    You would agree that it is almost impossible to be absolutely sure if a certain blog is Indian. Countries are defined on land, here it is impossible and unwise to do so. I have tried to be as accurate as possible.

    Finally, I chose blogs which had a high alexa ranking, so I chose your older one.

  12. Sharique Says:
    March 28th, 2007 at 9:30 pm

    You missed johntp.com Its ranked 22000. BTW alexa ranking will obviously be more for blogs with more viewers in US and no uses alexa toolbar in India!!

    Hi Sudhanshu,
    Very interesting list. Great job. There is (was?) a need to have a list of top Indian blogs, and hopefully over time your list will become the “authoritative” source.

    Thanks for including my personal blog - even though it is not in the top 80.

    Anyway, I just wanted to point you to another blog that I am associated with - Without Giving The Movie Away. It is a new blog and its Alexa ranking is fast increasing (inspite of the fact that most of its readership tends to be non-tech-savvy (i.e. people without Alexa toolbars)). I did not link to this post from that blog because it would be completely irrelevant to the content of that blog. Please take a look.
