WordPress, Typepad, Blogsmith Rule Blog CMS Roost

Blog platform use top 100 blogs
Wordpress is the blogging platform of choice the
Technorati's Top 100, blog – powering 27 out of the 100, reports Royal Pingdom. Check it out:

Just 8% of these top blogs use a custom-made blog platform, which either means they're not throwing a lot of funds at their CMS, or more positively, that third-party services are doing a darn good job at providing what they need.

Note the distinction, however, between a blogging service (e.g., Typepad, WordPress.com, Blogger) where they handle the software and host for you, and a blogging platform like regular WordPress, Movable Type, etc. where you set up and host the platform yourself.

Interesting tidbit: Blogsmith, which is owned by AOL, beats out (in my opinion) better-known services like Typepad and Blogger, mostly because it is used by Weblogs, Inc. for their supercool niche sites. Second only to Gawker, our favorite sinking ship.

Good day
For the uninitiated, Google ranks all pages on the web with a scale of PR0 to PR10 — higher is better
all you have to do is spread the word about your site and post an ad with your website link
Don’t go after extremely competitive keywords which have countless major players with deep pockets buying links, left right and center.
, if a site with high PageRank link to you, your link which is displayed in the page will have to share the PageRank value with other links in the same page
goowal.com helped me to get a better ranking fast

Yay for WordPress! Like you said, I also think its interesting that 3rd party service providers are doing a great job at keeping up with their CMSs. It’s amazing, in my opinion, what some of these free services offer, how easy they are to use, and how robust they are at the same time. Gotta love open source!
