It really is hard to classify bloggers because there are so many different ways to judge them. Technorati is only one of them, but there are many more. But I know for sure, I have a long ways to go to become an A lister... Great article. It really is hard to classify bloggers because there are so many different ways to judge them.

As I mentioned in the original post, they are conservative generalities... and success is certainly relative. In fact, to the average blogger with his/her own goals... the entire topic is completely irrelevant. I'll go into more detail on that in Part 3 of this series ;) Best, Lynn Terry I agree that the lines are fuzzy when it comes to classifications in the blogosphere, and there are many out there that straddle the lines for their own reasons.

However, I consider myself an A List blogger (and have high authority at Technorati, plus am deemed A List by Bloglebrity) but I don't meet 2 of your criteria. First of all, I don't generate any $ from my blog. (Don't need it, don't want the headache, thanks. Blogging is for fun in my world.) Secondly, I can only dream of having 250,000 visitors in my lifetime, much less per month. I write what I feel like writing and have been accused of having articles that are way too long. Ha! I'm a lawyer . . . you want lengthy, I can give you lengthy. :-) But my purpose is to write quality, not appeal to, as Jeff Goldblum's character put it in "The Big Chill" so many years ago, the crowd that can only read an article for the length of time it takes them to perform certain bodily functions.

Some of my clients jumped from unknowns to borderline A/B-list (having the blog mentioned quite frequently in offline media sources - television/newspapers and by A-list bloggers, huge amounts of traffic and revenue as a result) in less than 6 months. It's because the desire was there and effort was put into it. On the flip side, I've also had clients who <em>just don't get it</em> and quit before any real results can be seen. Paul's right. It's about getting the people's attention, networking with others, and maintaining both relationships. ~ Teli I can attest to the fact that the game isn’t necessarily fixed, but it does require an inordinate amount of time/effort — moreso than most are willing to invest in the initial stages.

Those are the driving forces behind those unmeasurable 'influence' and (percieved) 'authority' factors.

Those are the driving forces behind those unmeasurable ‘influence’ and (percieved) ‘authority’ factors.
