Wow! That is amazing. I’m delighted they’re doing so well.

One of the best things about doing this post is the number of fantastic blogs I came across that I otherwise wouldn’t have seen.

Despite the lack of decent infrastructure, Irish bloggers are making an impact. I love the idea that there’s a whole community on-line willing to share ideas, support each other and raise their voices about the issues they believe in.

Yup – according to the girls, who are as straight up as they come – they did 1,060,116 page views for 275,654 unique visitors in the 31 days of October, and their month-on-month growth has been quite steady so I’m sure the last quarter has been great for them.

Their Contact page has details.

Hi Sabrina,

Madness is what you make of it. Personally, I’m enjoying it :)

30k a day?! I don’t think I would do that in a year! Methinks it’s time to start writing about something else. Haute Couture for the Inner Geek perhaps?

All the best,
Paul.

You’re mad, you are! What a lot of work and what an interesting list.

Now mind, I’m delighted to be on this list, but my raw logs say I’m banging in about 900 page views a day, which is respectable but nothing to write home about. Beaut.ie is by comparison doing something like 30K a day, I think. (And good on them!)

This made great reading, Paul. Thanks for the labour. It’s gratifying to see that so many people share a love of good content right across the spectrum. Seems quality counts after all.

Hi Omaniblog,

Thanks for the comment!

I’ve added your blog to the list. Because Alexa doesn’t see the sub-domains on blogs.ie as separate sites, it will only provide a ranking for all the blogs hosted by blogs.ie.

I’m trying to see if I can work out some method to incorporate those blogs, when I do, I’ll update the list.

All the best,
Paul.

What a wonderful post. Such quality, and fine presentation. I thank you.
If I understand you, it hasn’t been possible to consider this blog because it’s hosted on blogs.ie – is that right? (Not that it would be high up the list.)

Your link to Donncha O’Caoimh’s blog is broken.

It should be http://ocaoimh.ie/
