Pinoy Top Blogs (PTB) almost came to an end last February. Yuga suspended PTB indefinitely at the start of the month due to financial considerations, but brought it back a few days later when a donor provided a "much faster and bigger dedicated server to host the site." I suppose I could go into the declines in total unique hits (UH) and this month's hits (TMH), but it wouldn't really be worth the effort because PTB was down so much in February.
What IS interesting was Rickey's decision to remove his blog from PTB, which opened up the top spot for other bloggers. Surprisingly, the blog next in line for oh-so-many-months was NOT the one that moved up. In fact, Starmometer jumped from 6th to No. 1, and Blogged went from 16th to No. 2. What happened? The clue I believe lies in the latter blog's new name—American Idol @ Blogged. I suspect that posts about American Idol, specifically Antonella Barba, have been driving traffic to both. This, of course, seems only appropriate considering that their predecessor made it to the top because of his devotion to the reality show that shows no sign of slowing down.
Other notable increases compared with January 2007 rankings were those by High Denzity (from 31 to 12) and Filipina Soul (from 37 to 23), and newcomers i heart np and Pinoy Money Talk.
The following are the raw data as of 26 February 2007:
