After a shut-down scare last February, Pinoy Top Blogs (PTB) bounced back with the highest number of total unique hits (UH) and this month's hits (TMH) since I started this series in June 2006. And that's without Rickey and his American Idol hits, and Motorcycle Philippines, which Yuga seems to have voluntarily removed from PTB after eight months of being in the Top 5. Maybe the increase in hits is a sign that blogging is really taking off. After all, the willingness of many big-name sponsors to spend for the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards proves that bloggers have clout.
Total UH went up by almost 48 percent, and total TMH more than 51 percent over last month's figures. But the most interesting figure is the UH of the fiftieth blog. For the second time since November 2006, the lowest UH was a five-digit figure. This leads me to think that if the PTB site had not been down a lot between November and March, then perhaps five-digit UH figures should have been—and will be from now on—the norm for Top 50 blogs.
Top gainers for March were Skirmisher, whose "mad. filthy. intriguing." posts propelled it from the 18th spot to 7th, and last month's newcomer i heart np looks like it went up from 33rd to 13th on the strength of "Peekvid Alternative: More Free-to-watch movie sites," which was posted last February. First-timers in the Top 50 include Naruto Blog, whose owner thought "Somethin's wrong" when his blog first made it into the Top 50, and The Four-eyed Journal, who noted the increasing traffic to his blog but provided no clue as to what was driving it.
The following are the raw data as of 29 March 2007:
