Prolific ought to be done by word count, not blog or post count.
However, I wonder how many bloggers know their word count. I can guestimate mine, but I have no idea the exact number. Do you?
Longevity also should be considered...but someone could have been writing a blog a month for the past five years. I don't think that equates to prolific.
So...I went with post count. Most all bloggers have a record and can relatively easily determine the number of blogs they have posted.
That being said...I have posted the inaugural list of the 100 most prolific bloggers.
Did anybody count? There are only 74. That's because I am on the hunt for bloggers with more than 1000 posts and only 74 have come to the party. Is that really all there is that have 1000 posts or more. I hardly think so.
What about you? Do you have 1,000 or more posts? Do you know somebody who does? Ask them to contact me and tell me how many posts they have, when they started and any other pertinent info they'd like to provide.
Nominations don't count.
Of course, until all 68 million and growing bloggers registered at Technorati know that I am looking for them, there may never be a truly definitive list. Still, it's fun to try. And, I think it can be a great motivator to some who need a push to write, to contribute more, or just wants to know where they stand in the blogoshere with other like minded bloggers.
Bloggers who maintain more than one blog site should be considered. I am considering a category for bloggers with multiple blogs. Darren Rowse does more than the two he mentioned. I have three that total more than 1000 each and Colbert Low has three, each over 1000. This is prolific writing, I think. I am sure there are more such bloggers.
Tell me who you are. You can contact me via the comment section.
All that being said....
If you have ideas on how to make the list a better one, let me know in the comments here or email me at bill (at) bizofknowledge dot com.
If you come across a broken link, let me know and I'll fix it.
If I have made a mistake, don't yell or cuss at me, please. Just tell me, and I will fix that, too.
I will update the list, perhaps monthly or so, as bloggers send me their stats, and those on the list update theirs, and new people join.
In time, we may indeed find who is writing the most in the blogsphere...maybe it's you.
Blog on.

There is a time and a place to argue about what prolific means and what should be the criteria for being on this list. That place is here. The link will also tell you how to get on the... [Read More]
