---

2010′s 2nd monthly ratings of the Most Popular 100 Conservative blogs on the web, the Conservative Blogs 100.

The ratings are based on Alexa traffic rankings 3-month average. All changes are calculated from last Conservative Blogs 100 listing.

If we missed anyone, drop us a line in the comments with your site URL; we’ll include in the next ratings, March 21. The Alexa rankings were largely taken from Feb 20, 2010 and include several from February 21, 2010. The Conservative Blogs 100 will normally be released the third Sunday of each month.

The list includes conservative and libertarian blogs of interest.
These differs from the Conservative 100, in that it doesn’t contain the sites of large newspapers, news channels magazines or TV/radio personalities. The sites that appear on the Conservative Blogs 100 are primarily web-based entities.

The number one slot is held by The Drudge Report, followed Breitbart.com/Big Hollywood and World Net Daily (even though WND hosts radio talker, Michael Savage, on its site).

The top five is rounded out by Hot Air and Free Republic.

22 new blogs hit the list this period, led by Canada Free Press, NewsReal and Life News. Also several made it on for the first time on any of DBKP Top 100 lists, including Chris Muir’s popular cartoon, Day By Day, Jill Stanek and Angry White Dude.

Additional notes after the ratings list.

UPDATE: For some reason, Pam Geller’s site keeps making the list–and keeps getting corrected–as “Atlas Shrugged.” Of course, it’s Atlas Shrugs. Caught it once more before anyone pointed it out.

UPDATE #2: Not sure why the comments are acting screwy…

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
* If we missed your blog, leave the title and URL in the comments and we’ll include it, if it qualifies, in the next ratings.

MISSED THIS LIST:

* 135358 – Zombietime

* For more information on how several particular sites were ranked, see Top 100 Popular Conservative Blogs-Jan 31, 2010

This is a compilation of measurable traffic figures only. It does not pretend to allow for unmeasurable factors such as quality, how much enjoyment a reader may get from the site, etc. We compile the lists for comparison and informational purposes only. Because a site is busier and more popular does not make it “better” or “worse”. Just sayin’.

We get letters that begin “So-and-so is not really a conservative website, they are fill-in-the-blank.” There’s a good chance not everyone will agree with you. There’s a good chance that not everyone will disagree. While traffic ranks are objective, what does or does not constitute “conservative” (or progressive-liberal in our other ratings) is in the eye of the beholder.

Once we work the bugs out of the system, look for several other monthly ratings of various websites of interest.
