Just a few days ago, HumanistHeritageCanada.ca was notified that we’d be recognized by Feedspot.com that we made their list of the top 15 Humanist blogs on the web. According to the reader site, we earned a #13 rating based on traffic, social media follower, domain authority and freshness.
We received a similar rating in 2024 – down somewhat from our #10 rating a few years back (as HumanistFreedoms.com).
Feedspot further explains the basis of their rankings as:
- Relevancy
- Industry blogs (those not favoring a specific brand) are given higher rank than blogs by individual brands (who often tend to promote their own products).
- Blog post frequency (freshness)
- Social media follower counts and engagements
- Domain authority
- Age of a blog
- Alexa Web Traffic Rank, and many other parameters.
Feedspot claims to routinely remove inactive blogs as well as those that aren’t relevant to any given list. Lists are updated as they receive new blog submissions to ensure updated rankings every few weeks.
We find ourselves positioned close to our colleagues at the Humanist Society of Scotland, the Secular Hub Blog and a few steps from our fellow Canadians at BC Humanists.
Feedspot discovers, categorizes and ranks blogs, podcasts and influencers in several niche categories. We have curated over 250,000 popular blogs and categorized them in more than 5,000 niche categories and industries. With millions of blogs on the web, finding influential, authority and trustworthy bloggers in a niche industry is a hard problem to address. Our experience leads us to believe that a thoughtful combination of both algorithmic and human editing offers the best means of curation.
We thank Anuj Agarwal and the Feedspot team for being recognized in it’s rankings!
