We don’t make websites for the glory, but it’s always nice to get a bit. That’s why we’re over the moon to see Electricpig smash its way into the UK’s top 50 blog rankings, compiled by Cision Marketing, despite being less than a year old.
Cision ranks blogs by weighing actual traffic alongside inbound links to give a real measure of search visibility and actual performance to date.
Update frequency and content are also taken into account, as is social media activity, so it’s as fair an evaluation as you’re likely to find. But then, we would say that.
Jumping straight in at 43, the ranking puts Electricpig in the same league as well established sites such as TechCrunch, Gizmodo and Eurogamer, as well as traditional media, from the BBC to the Financial Times’ Alphaville site. Not a bad achievement within 12 months.
