I’ve never really paid attention to what kind of traffic I get on a regular basis (I know that it jumps to astronomical levels during election campaigns), so I thought I would do a quick check of the ranking of some of Canadian political bloggers using Alexa.com. It’s highly random, since Alexa seems not to have some sites and many blogspot sites aren’t ranked. So if your site isn’t listed it was because it wasn’t available or I don’t know it (sorry). So, anyway, here are the rankings as of today (I got bored at 80, so stopped there; I also didn’t bother with links OK, I broke down and added the links). I’m just to have just edged out the Western Standard! :) [Note: italicized entries have been added later]

Update: As I noted, the above list was quite random, because Alexa’s rankings are rather wonky — a lot of blogspot sites aren’t ranked and sometimes no ranking is given. In other cases, I simply don’t know every blog out there (shocking!). So, if you aren’t on the list and deserve to be, let me know and I will add you.
