Top Women Bloggers and Women Authored Blogs – A List of 13 ‘Top’ Lists

Have you noticed? There has been more and more talk of women bloggers lately. Could it be because the public is finally realizing how much influence women bloggers actually have within the Blogosphere?

I think we can all agree that there has never been a lack of women bloggers on the internet. I think most women take to blogging naturally because we love to communicate. The recent awareness of women bloggers has more to do with women reaching "influencer" status.

Most top bloggers lists are based on Alexa and Technorati rankings. An influencer is usually define by how popular the site is in general and how many people are being reached. Though the way a person is gauged as a influencer can be a bit inaccurate, there a few ways you can discover the true popularity of a blogger.

I not going to get into what I believe is the best way to gauge someone's influence today but I will say this. One person may see a celebrity but another person has never heard of them. That is to say, gauging someones influence is not all together accurate in any way, shape or form because each person is "influenced" in different ways.

That being said, there are a number of lists floating around the Blogosphere that where created by people who found a way to gauge influence as best they could.

I have compiled a list of 13 "Top" lists. Some of these lists are a few years old others are only a few days old.

  1. The 100 Australian Women's Blogs
  2. Top 10 Women Entrepreneur Blogs
  3. Top 12 Women Real Estate Bloggers - 2007 Edition
  4. The Magical List of Outstanding Women Bloggers
  5. My Top 10 Best Women Bloggers with Influence - Part 1 & Part 2
  6. The W List: Oustanding Women Bloggers
  7. 10 Most Powerful Women in Blogging
  8. 100 Awesome Webmaster Blogs by and for Women - I'm on this list! # 64
  9. Top 100 Personal Finance Blogs. How Do Women Rank?
  10. Top 100 Female Bloggers - Updated July 7th, 2008
  11. BlogHer: Who Are Your Favorite Women Bloggers
  12. NxE’s Fifty Most Influential ‘Female’ Bloggers- Posted July 18th, 2008
  13. 5 Top Influential Women Bloggers - Part l & Part ll

In 2006 cnet News came up with their own top 100 blogs lists. At the time only eight of bloggers on the list were women.  I think if cnet decided to compile a list today (check but couldn't find an updated list)  the count of women bloggers would be much higher.

Lists such as these are fun to read and exciting to be apart of but let's not forget what influence really is. Each blogger has the potential to become an influencer with in their own blogging community. Your influencing reach might not be as far as others but your influence still has a reach.

  1. Great source of info! Thank you for sharing it. I agree with your point of view about influence. What I have noticed from my blog, about the beginning female entrepreneur, is that influence “pools” and much like it is described in the breakthrough work on the power of networking by Marshall Thurmond, there are power nodes. It used to be that to gain influence you had to have a mass market follow you. Now, you can become a powerhouse in a smaller circle but still change the world in significant and awe inspiring ways.

    One of my favorite all time quotes is by Margaret Mead, a renowned social anthropoligist and breakthrough females herself, who said “Never doubt that a small group of concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed, that is all that ever has.” It’s not just the reach you have on your audience in terms of number but also how deeply you reach into their souls and move them. Women bloggers know how to do that in spades! Girl power! :-)

    Together, we are stronger.

  2. Hi Vicki,
    Thanks for commenting. I like the quote you offered. It is so true.

  3. Hi Mona,
    Thank you for putting together this great list of Women bloggers.
    It’s only through such a list I found the Aussie bloggers forum.

    Influence can be gauged in so many ways but as Vicki quoted…”Influence is really how deeply you reach into their souls and move them!”

    Congratulations for being named on the “100 Awesome Webmaster Blogs For & By Women!”

  4. Exactly. As much as I respect all the women bloggers on all those list, I have my own influential bloggers list. Not as famous as the big names in the blogging world but great female bloggers nonetheless.

  5. This is a pretty thorough collection…I hope I’ll make it on some of these lists!

  6. Hi – Thanks for including my top lists here. It is actually amazing to see, that one of the most popular and influential bloggers are women! And you can find women settling places in the blogosphere.
