The recognitions just keep rolling in. First, I discovered that I’m one of the Top 100 Most Influential Marketers of 2008. Now, it seems I’m also a Twingly Top 100 Biggest Blogs of the Internet.
Twingly is a social blog search engine that claims to be completely spam-free. Their Top 100 list identify the top blogs in 12 different languages based on a proprietary ranking system. It’s kinda like what Technorati has been trying to do with their Authority ranking. From the Twingly blog:
Today we’re launching two exciting projects at Twingly.com – Top 100 and BlogRank. The first one, Twingly Top 100, is the listing of the 100 biggest blogs in 12 different languages based on our ranking system (which is mainly focusing on inlinks and likes among other things). BlogRank is a number between 1-10 that shows how big a blog is. It’s similar to Google PageRank but only for blogs.
Twingly seems to like me a lot more than Google. They’ve given me a BlogRank of 7.
John Chow dot Com is ranked number 56 in the Top 100 Blog English blogs and number 59 when all languages are factored in.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Congratz again John. You’ve come a long way. You’ve put in the work and you deserve this achievement. Now quit bragging already!
Definitely he has!! Good for you John – keep us updated as to other recognitions – as it is great motivation for what one person alone can achieve!!
Li Weng : How to you manage to get the number one spot all the time ?
He’s got the blogging skillz
He should write an e-book on how to be the first to post in every thread hehehe
Congrats Jhonny!
a second hip,hip,hoooo ray from me Chow.
Hip hip hooray from me too !
Not all that surprised here, you make a lot of money for blogging.
Keep in mind Ihad one of the first JC Tribute sites around. Any wonder why?
Good job. It’s no surprise
Are you going to ASW09?
Way to go John Chow Dot Com!
Wow. that’s a great achievement
Wish I am in the list too one day.
Its a level playing field …anyone can be there if we are planning to work hard
I look at you with great admiration. I too would like to join the same ranks as you.
Congrats to you again John…double awards in a day..that is cool
Congratulations!!
That’s interesting that Twingly gives you a higher Blogrank than Google. Either way, your ranking is just plain high!
Success snowballs. You’re on a roll.
Good job, John! Most of us wanted to be in that list, too..
That is very cool. Congrats on being on the two lists.
You’ve put in the work and you deserve this achievement.
Congratulations John,
You run a great blog here and I must say
that I have been looking at it to get ideas
for my own blog development

Johns information is a real asset to anyone thats even trying to make a modest income from a blog
Nice achievement..
they should have a top 100 most influential asian bloggers haha you’ll rank high on that as well. congrats!
I’d be shocked if he didnt make number one on that type of Top list considering how high he is on these other lists!
i am sure there is one….
Anything that takes away market share from the monopolies is very good. Love Twingly!
Congrats, It’s nice to see that you have achieved this
Congrats, John!! But I have a question…Do you think that companies put out lists like this simply to create linkbait that gets popular bloggers like yourself to link back to them? Especially when they don’t disclose how they do the rankings…
Its a good link bait strategy , but you have to have some credibility as a site to do that , only then will people believe you
That’s actually a really good point – I never even thought of that….
I think I see a top 100 list coming on my blog soon – lol!!!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case, but it’s still nice to get recognition.
I like your question mike. It seems you have to start somewhere if you want to create a list. Google is the standard and we still don’t know what the exact process is for page rank. What do you think Chow? To think about it…Chow could join any upcoming directory and blow his popularity out of the water and add another “top 100″ to his resume. Good business Chow!!!
you have a great blog …you seem to getting bigger by the hour…great stuff
Its such an envy here. Does all the fame go to you? There is no place for people like us anymore!
Why is it that Google doesn’t have you higher in GPR? Anyways, congrats John!
Huge congrats!
More kudos to John Chow. I like that they gave you a high blogrank, so much better than Google.
Nice list
Some very readable blogs in there 
Hmmm, even the little pic/widget thing looks like Google…
-Mike
Congrats John!
Wow congratulations again! You are really raking up the accolades!
wow its really great
congrats
Thats pretty amazing but not suprising considering the type of person you are and the value you have created with great content. Content is king and what you taught me is that to go forward with my online business is that I need to create more value for my readers so I decided to give my first product away.
Thanks for all your good work, keep it up!

hope one day we will become as popular as you
Nice going. And I think I’m going to give a closer look at Twingly.
Thanks for the info, I hadn’t heard of Twingly before. It’s funny I came by thinking I’d check out some of the top blogs this afternoon. Went to Pro Blogger, Shoemoney and here. Wouldn’t you know it here I find a list of exactly what I was looking for.
ps – that dude in the glasses looks pretty familiar (did you move to New Hampshire yet?)

Congratulations John! Ah, another accomplishment to look forward to for us blogs in their infancy…uh oh, gotta change a diaper
