Bloggers not on top?
Blogtrainer features each three months a thorough examination of top german websites using the Alexa Statistics. In a recent article he suggests that among the Top 1000 German websites with the most readers only four big bloggers in Germany can be found.
His methodology is this: he looks at the Top 100 most popular websites in Germany and their respective global Alexa-Ranking. The median of the global ranking of these 100 websites is about 1250. Since he knows the global ranking of some popular German bloggers, he now extrapolates their global ranking onto the German scale.
Whether this is statistically sound is not the question. He could also have used a weighted average, but I guess that this would not necessarily have changed the big picture. An interesting deduction following his line of thought: in the 2500 top sites worldwide there seem to be only 100 German sites exist. What about the rest? What countries are represented in the Top 2500 websites at Alexa? And what other bloggers are on top inside this Top 2500?
