Something's funny here - where is Pharyngula? Isn't he the #1 blog on Science Blogs? If so, why the absence from this ranking?
âShow us the evidence our anti-religion rants turn people offâ, say the Pharyngula fans. Well boys, what if this is the evidence youâve been asking for? Ah ha ha ha!!
Barry,
I doubt it's the explanation, other prominent science blogs are also not listed. ;-)
Funny, http://www.wikio.com/blogs/top/sciences shows a similar but not identical ranking: f'rinstance, # 2 is Bad Astronomy, & Dispatches from the Culture Wars comes in at # 8. Framing Science is # 32, and Living the Scientific Life is # 21.
Pharyngula doesn't show up anywhere on the list of 105 - is Myers really below GOP for Liberty! (for crysake) on the science blogs totem pole?
Pierce,
The widget I posted are for August rankings. Wikio, I believe, still has their July rankings up on their page.
Also, Pharyngula along with several other prominent science blogs such as Dot Earth are apparently not tracked.

And still do (and still undated).
Wotta buncha slackers!

Any idea what criteria Wikio uses for their exclusion filter?
@Jeff
Yeah, I'm certain Pharyngula gets more hits than EvolutionBlog (although I really like EvolutionBlog)
