25% of the Power 150 list hasn’t been updated in 3 months

September 4, 2008

Thinking about it, at first we poked fun at the Power 150 (listing almost 900 blogs) saying “they forgot us” then we made of of the fact that the code is buggy allowing for such no-no’s as dividing by zero then we finally came to the conclusion that the list is not actually updated anymore. The Power 150 is an outdated list to extreme measures. To the point where a full 25% of the list hasn’t been updated in 3 months.

We even found a handful that don’t exist anymore.

So a blog that does not exist is still ranked as a top blog? A blog that hasn’t been updated this year counts as a Power 150 blog…

For example, the Power 150 list links to Agency Spy’s WordPress blog, but they are not located there.. Agency Spy moved to the Media Bistro main site located at http://www.mediabistro.com/agencyspy the Power 150 site is listing the now 1/2 year old http://agencyspy.wordpress.com .. in short directing visitors to the wrong url… and it’s been a wrong URL for 1/2 a year.

It’s a problem that needs to be resolved, and it’s a problem that comes from the source. Since when did Advertising Age dictate who is a real blogger or who isn’t? Their own site divides by zero for heavens sake. And we question the authority of them ranking sites when in our opinion they don’t have their own act together.

This list needs to be updated.. you can’t just make a list like that… post it on a magazine site.. and never update it to reflect changes in the industry.

Much has changed in the past few years since that list was created, and mark my words.. if no one over there updates the list.. I’m sure we (as in the blogging community) will update it for you.
