Unofficial Travel / Hospitality Blogs ranking - July 07...

I know a lot of you have been expecting this new updated ranking (private joke between Darren and I).

I have added some new stuff in it.

You can see the symbol H in pink to feature blogs which are mainly Hospitality related. The country flag represents the language mainly used by the blogger(s). And the arrow - up or down - to follow the ranking compared to last month according to the Technorati Authority (data were taken from 16th July 2007)

3 new blogs have made the list this month:

McCluskey Blog
Web 2.0 Travel Tools blog
Brave New Traveler

Without any surprise, the top 6 blogs are still collaborative and will remain I am sure next month.
The first hospitality blog is HotelChatter (I still wonder who is going to acquire this blog...).
The first "Corporate" blog is Bill Marriott' s On The Move at #8 but the others like HotelBook / Utell, Thomson and Travelocity's The Window Seat are way down the ranking (#45, #47and #51 respectively).

Any suggestions with new blogs I haven't listed are welcome. Enjoy...

Please have a look to our blog about rural tourism:
- in Spanish: http://blog.toprural.com/
(technorati authority = 21, rank 308.000)
- in French, Portuguese or Catalan (with a quite lower authority): http://fr.blog.toprural.com/
http://pt.blog.toprural.com/
http://ca.blog.toprural.com/
These are corporate blogs of our company (toprural.com), about rural tourism in Spain, France and Portugal. I hope we can step in your ranking at some time in the future ;)

Hello Guillaume,

Excuse me but, how do you make the ranking? I'm surprised because some blogs which appear on it have authority 10 or less.

Thank you

[hilton]

[Gonzalo Ruiz]

Hi HappyHotelier, it seems we have parallel lifes as we got same rank and authority.

I didn't know that technoraty only takes the last 180 days on consideration. Good point. Thank you.

Guillaume, thank you very much for this ranking. I encourage you to keep doing it.

Regards,
Albert Barra

[Happy Hotelier]

Thanks for the good work Guillaume.

@Darren:

Technorati only counts the last 180 days or so. So when there was a surge in the linking to your site some 180 days ago, there will be a similar drop about 180 days later.

Hehe:

From that point of view the T-List should be kept alive if only to renew the referrals and technorati ranking:-)

Although Absolut BCN is not a "typical travel blog" it is an interesting metroblog about Barcelona City (www.absolutbcn.com). It could be really interesting to create a ranking of the most popular metroblogs in the world.

[Paco León]

Well done for your ranking, it is a usefull tool to see what's going on...

I've just created a new travel blog and maybe it would be on your ranking quite soon:p (www.todosobresafaris.com)

[Claude / Les Explorers]

I discovered bravenewtraveler.com lately. I was about to submit it . It's a blog we have missed although it has a lot of audience. Nice ranking.

Maybe you should add my friends from Italia: http://www.advitalia.org/dblog/ They would push travelocity out of your ranking though!

[Jens Thraenhart]

Love your list, Guillaume. It's all fun!
