SQL Blog Readership Numbers

February 25, 2009 · Posted in SQL Server 

I have been mining publicly available numbers out of Google reader for the last couple weeks for frequent published sql blogs. I am going to present the numbers but let me make some points.

  • The fanboy Microsoft DBA is probably using Outlook 2007 as their RSS reader. I made the exchange server cry when I tried this. These numbers are only google reader stats.
  • My number is about 50% of what feedburner says for my site. However, take that with a grain of salt.
  • There are some travesties. However, I am posting data not opinions. I will leave the opinions up to you.
  • 100-200 level blogs seem popular.
