The World’s Most Powerful Property People
Compiled by the folks at GlobalEdge, a list of the top 100 bloggers and real estate journalists from around the world makes up The GlobalEdge Top 100.
Their methodology, from their site:
This list was compiled by searching Google’s top 100 results using terms like “real estate blog” and “property news”. In this respect it is biased towards English-language sites. We also searched the blog rolls of some of the biggest blogs in the UK, US and to a lesser extent the rest of the world to add to the list. It took us several weeks to compile a list of over two hundreds sites. We then used the SEOMoz Trifecta tool to rank the importance and notoriety of the sites most relevant web page (we link to the page we ranked).
As a result, the list is a curious mishmash of news sources, portals, blogs and other web-based sources but interesting nonetheless. I picked up a number of new sites I’d never seen before.
This blog comes in at #35 and it’s nice to see some other familiar faces in the mix too; Geek Estate Blog, Saint Paul Real Estate Blog, the Tomato and the Phoenix Real Estate Guy to name just a few.

So now I can tell Mom that I’m more powerful in real estate than Donald Trump. Cool. Interesting list. As long as I rank higher than Cronin, I’m good with it.
@Poppy – do more people misspell your last name than get it right?

Congratulations, #35 isn’t too shabby.

Wow! That is quite a list.
It is also biased on sites that have excellent search engine optimization for those terms, but it is going to be tough to compile a list like this anyway.
Good stuff!

That is very impressive. There have to be thousands of competitors. I found this blog through technorati, is that where most of your traffic comes from?
