		<description>I wonder if the formula counts self-links as &quot;inbound&quot; links?  Andrew Sullivan can&#039;t go three sentences w/o self-linking, for example.  Yes, insert your own joke, but most people can&#039;t stand that diva and I doubt that the big blogs spend that much effort in linking to him (save for mocking his penchant for conspiracy theories over Sarah Palin&#039;s uterus).

Then again, there are people who watch Olbermann &amp; Maddow....</description>

		<description>awake, I have no idea what you&#039;re talking about but I stand by my assertion that Hot Air should be in the top 3.  

Does that make sense?  Not a hard concept.</description>

		<description>Want more traffic AP? Stop with the negative obsession crap you have with Rush Limbaugh...

Rush has been nice enough to mention/reference hotair.com on several occasions due to the respect he has for Ed Morrissey. I would suspect Rush also has great respect for Michelle Malkin.

Having the opportunity to have some 20 million people hear the words hotair.com doesn&#039;t happen for most.</description>

The problem is that he banned most of the internet.

How is he going to get on the top 100 doing that?

Indeed.  I was banned quite some time ago and don&#039;t remember my particular transgression.  I believe I may have uttered a word that was &quot;objectionable&quot; to the editor...  Haven&#039;t been back since...</description>

		<description>Search Hotair in Wikipedia and get Malkin bio (emphasis on the negative) and no page dedicated to HA

Yahoo search on &#039;Hotair&#039; bring up &#039;hot air&#039; balloon links.
Yahoo searches of &#039;Politico&#039; or &#039;daily kos&#039; yield these sites at top of list

Google search of &#039;Hotair&#039; puts hotair.com at top

Interesting how two search engines have two such different results

&lt;em&gt;He who manipulates is lost&lt;/em&gt;

A list of most influential sites is a great way to channel readers towards certain sites and away from others.  

Makes me think of those lists of top 100 film of all time, usually politically correct humbug we are supposed to aspire to

Personally I think HA is influential based upon the tediously methodical fake troll attacks, similar to Rush&#039;s seminar callers

They are no problem unless you believe them. They serve as a useful base for dissection of the enemy, with no need for anesthesia. Pawns are expendable

The false cries of anguish are meant to draw empathy from gawkers, but are poor argument for their side thus serves HA well. Hotair expands inflated by the hot air of op attacks

Meanwhile I start my day at Drudge who speaks in links. I branch from his site like an octopus thanks to the speedy doctor Drudge, and enjoy heartily my stops at HA

Drudge serves up politicos raw, which is quite unpleasant, and HA is the antidote</description>

		<description>My collie says:
&lt;blockquote&gt;Meghan McCain called.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Collie, didn&#039;t I tell you to just hang up if she called?

My collie says:
&lt;blockquote&gt;She says that she knows how to improve HotAir&#039;s ranking.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Oh yeah...right...sure -- she&#039;s got ALL the answers, doesn&#039;t she?

My collie says:
&lt;blockquote&gt;Meghan says that HotAir would climb to the top of the heap -- if they just posted some videos of bare naked collie pole-dancing.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

BAD DOG! You made that up, collie -- and you&#039;re only claiming Meghan McCain said it because you KNOW that AllahPundit will swallow anything that she says -- hook, line, and sinker.

My collie says:
&lt;blockquote&gt;You got a better idea?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Maybe. How about if HotAir streamed videos of its trolls arguing their points of view on the issues? It would naturally appeal to their narcissistic tendancies, and it will have ENORMOUS entertainment value for the rest of us.</description>

<p>Oh yeah&#8230;right&#8230;sure &#8212; she&#8217;s got ALL the answers, doesn&#8217;t she?</p>
<p>My collie says:</p>
<blockquote><p>Meghan says that HotAir would climb to the top of the heap &#8212; if they just posted some videos of bare naked collie pole-dancing.</p></blockquote>
<p>BAD DOG! You made that up, collie &#8212; and you&#8217;re only claiming Meghan McCain said it because you KNOW that AllahPundit will swallow anything that she says &#8212; hook, line, and sinker.</p>
<p>My collie says:</p>
<blockquote><p>You got a better idea?</p></blockquote>
<p>Maybe. How about if HotAir streamed videos of its trolls arguing their points of view on the issues? It would naturally appeal to their narcissistic tendancies, and it will have ENORMOUS entertainment value for the rest of us.</p>

		<description>I am gratified that three in that top 50 have allowed me to become a part of them (NewsBusters, StopTheACLU and RedState). An awful lot of stories and issues have been affected by these sites and there is no end in sight. Giving the Old Media a run for its money, for sure and steering politics as often as not. But the libs are pushing harder than ever, folks. No time to rest on laurels!</description>

		<description>Poptech WAS banned on NewsBusters.org for those wondering. He was a troll and a spammer and the staff just got tired of his pasting and re-pasting the same 10 anti-Palin links over and over again.</description>

		<description>Absurd on several levels.  Omission of the top conservative site on the &#039;Net -- check.  Inclusion of Oliver Willis -- check.  Worst of all is the piece of crap at 46.

However, Red State is on there.</description>

Clarification.

No link to Jihadwatch.org, but one for Charlie, &quot;Little Green Lying Liberal&quot; Johnson?

Who could take you seriously at this point?</description>
