I wonder why there is no comScore-like coverage in blog world. While RSS is extremely suitable to run advanced analytics on it, there is little offered for publishers and consumers to understand the leaders and readership drivers in this space.

One good, but not impressive, information source is Google Reader’s reading trends section. For the month ending Aug 24th, 2009, my most-read blogs are as follows:

1. Hurriyet Ekonomi – Turkish newspaper, economy section – 66 posts
2. Lifehacker – 48 posts
3. Download Squad – 47 posts
4. Cityfile – 43 posts
5. PS3 Fanboy – 38 posts
6. The Business Insider: Media – 34 posts
7. The Luxist – 34 posts
8. Dilbert Daily Strip – 30 posts
9. Mashable – 24 posts
10. paidContent – 21 posts

I must say that I recently unsubscribed from popular tech blogs such as TechCrunch and ReadWriteWeb, as they never made it to my top 20 despite publishing an enourmous ~140 posts every week.
