Independent rating of the best Russian blogs. Independent rating of the best Russian blogs Livejournal blogs in Russian top 50

There are persistent rumors that everything will seriously change soon, so I consider it necessary to light up in order to make a comparative analysis of future changes after some time.

1. varlamov.ru

Deservedly the permanent leader of LiveJournal for several years now, Ilya is two heads taller than many bloggers. All this is due to his unique talent to see the future and the ability to lead and delegate authority to a team of assistants. Today, this is not just a blog, but, perhaps, one of the most cited media, and Ilya himself has long turned into a media person.

2. mi3ch

So to say, LJ intelligentsia, Dmitry is one of the most erudite bloggers. He recently announced that he was going to make a political career and run for deputies, and although our points of view differ on many issues, I wish him success in this field, since there is a serious shortage of decent people in our politics.

3. davydov_index

I guess for what purpose this project was created, but I can’t understand why it was given the name of a boring program on the RBC channel, in fact this is the most common yellow news bureau, as a rule, these are 20 events rewritten from the media, one of which begins like this: MAKAREVICH ..., CORD ..., POZNER ..., SHEVCHUK ..., PUGACHEVA ..., VINE ... etc.

There is a feeling that this blog is being read by bots, since the average number of comments rarely exceeds 10, and judging by the daily growth of the SC, it is higher than that of Ilya Varlamov.

4. theme

According to alexa.com, this is the most popular blog in LiveJournal, today its traffic is 4.56% of the entire site. If the Subject suddenly starts to put kats in his posts, he will become the first LiveJournal blogger in a few weeks.

Well, actually, the main thing is the blog from which I discovered LiveJournal, long before I made my first entry here.

5. lena-miro.ru

One of the most scandalous blogs, in the good sense of the word, people come here for a good kick or to fill their boring and worthless life with emotions. According to rumors, Lenochka is the sweetest and kindest person, but it’s worth putting her at the keyboard ...

6. evo_lutio

Polygraphs about psychology

7. macos

Once Alexander admitted to me that he wants to overtake Sergey Dolya in the rating and become the first travel blogger, I gave him some advice and after a while he succeeded. Then Alexander raised the bar for himself and decided to become the first and again turned to me for help, then I painted a strategy for him, but the prerequisite was to gather a staff of assistants and Alexander began to implement. After some time, he rose to the second line of the rating, but at the last moment he realized that he was not ready to trust his work to strangers and dispersed his small team.

In my opinion, Alexander is the most hardworking blogger, because while I was telling him the strategy on how to climb the LJ Olympus on the plane, he not only listened carefully, but at the same time managed to write several posts for his blog.

8. bespridanitsa

It is very curious to know who is behind this blog)

9. miumau

Good kind blog for girls

I once decided to join the top 10 LJ bloggers on a bet, and here I am.

11. kiss_my_abs

Here I come to admire the beautiful Sonya

12. aquatek_philips

Sergey is a tireless traveler, the most vivid impressions from trips are only on his blog.

13. Journal LJ

LJ magazine is a team of editors who select all the most interesting for us and publish it on the alternative top page, there are rumors that this page will soon become the main one.

14. colonelcassad

Sometimes I look here too, according to alexa.com, this magazine is one of the leaders in terms of guest traffic, this is traffic from outside.

15. The great culinary specialist of our time, his name is so popular that mentioning him is already considered bad form.

Why does a fish need an umbrella for a TOP blogger?

Indeed, is it worth going out of your way to get on the main page of LiveJournal? What does this give the blogger besides a headache in the form of sarcastic comments that will inevitably appear, even if you are all white and fluffy?

We will find the answer on the Kommersant.ru website:

And how much do advertising posts cost for the most popular LiveJournal bloggers? For example, the Voprosnik website believes that top bloggers earn from 30,000 to 300,000 per advertising post (source voprosik.net/skolko-zarabatyvayut-bloggery).

LiveJournal rates. The Questionnaire website has calculated how much top LiveJournal bloggers earn.

Don't you agree that people go to the TOP just for the sake of money? Then give your arguments, explain why such hot battles are unfolding around the ratings?

My zhzhzhki. Is there a chance?

Do my blogs hosted on the LiveJournall blogging platform have at least some chance to reach the TOP, top the LiveJournal rating table?

My e-LJ-diary

Definitely - no! And why? How are blog ratings formed, on what basis do posts get into the TOP?

Let's figure it out. Fortunately, LiveJournal has a support service that has already answered many questions, so we read the answers and shake our heads.

Ratings LiveJournal

All of them are displayed on the main page. LiveJournal at livejournal.com. Moreover, the rating can be found both for the day and for the whole time, however, this applies only to users and communities, the rating of entries is shown according to a different principle.

TOP-50 blogs of Artemy Lebedev

By the way, Artemy Lebedev's blog is constantly in the top three, headed by LJ Ilya Varlamov. Recently, Ekaterina Bezymyannaya (PROSTITUTKA_KET) wedged between them. In the overall ranking, she is in eighth place, but perhaps the exit helped her to become a leader, after which interest in the author's posts increased.

How to customize your rating view?

I'll quote a little:

60 percent two-thirds(!) The top is formed by users who are in the top twenty of the rating. That is, they can write virtually any garbage, and it will still be in the top. What many people use. The first hundred users generate us a fantastic 84 percent of the rating. That's almost nine out of ten of all topics. Pooh! Mere mortals, who are not even in the top thousand, account for only a miserable 5 percent. (Source: dert.livejournal.com/57969.html)

First, we make settings on the main page:

livejournal. More about settings

Is it really possible to get into the TOP, or do you need to immediately put up with the fact that your LiveJournal will forever gather dust somewhere in the back of LiveJournal.com?

An attempt is not torture, it makes sense to try. And first you need to check the settings of your diary.

Go to "Account Settings" (livejournal.com/manage/settings/) - "Security" tab (livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=privacy) and check the box "I want to be ranked" .

On the "View" tab, you need to check the box that there are no materials for adults in your diary. I also checked the "Exclude adult content" box in the safe search filters, just in case.

Naturally, your journal should not be deleted or frozen. How to "unfreeze" the magazine, read from the Support Service. I had such a situation that my “Northern Sakhalin” was frozen for reasons I do not understand. I wrote a letter, the problem was solved, so do not be shy, write and you will be rewarded.

And the last condition. If you want to participate in the Cyrillic rating, then check the "View" tab (That's it, now we will think about how to get into this rating.

How to get to the TOP of LiveJournal?

Since I don’t have my own experience yet, I will try to generalize the experience of other bloggers. So, what do you need to do to get into the first lines of the LiveJournal rating?

Properly make all the LiveJournal settings
Find friends and like-minded people in LiveJournal;
Join communities that interest you;
Create your own community;
Go beyond regional news, write on “global” topics and write regularly on various topics;
Promotion in social networks, in the settings (livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=extensions) link your blog to social networks by checking the boxes next to "Publish my posts on Facebook, Twitter, VKontakte, TUMBLR by default.
Displaying entries in the "promo" (promotion for money)

Well, work, work and work again. Perhaps then you will see your post in the TOP of LiveJournal.

The editors of the fashion portal Tutta la Moda ranked "Top 30 Fashion Bloggers of Russia", among them are the authors of various blog platforms, but not a few of those who live in our cozy little one.
I want to ask fashion bloggers)) What is the most important thing for your blog? That is, what needs to be done in LiveJournal so that you are as comfortable as possible in LiveJournal? Magazine style? Disable comments? Maybe some counters?

When compiling it, the following aspects were taken into account: successful projects, presence at fashion events, the number of followers, likes, comments, and of course, the quality of content and stylish images that correspond to fashion trends.
All these authors are real professional bloggers who form the opinion of the public on fashion issues, both for the final audience and for the professional community in terms of reviewing trends and fabrics. Let imperceptibly, butx materials and photographs influence the tastes of consumers.

That is why her reviews of new cosmetics and care tips can often be found on the pages of Cosmopolitan, OOPS and Topbeauty.

22. Maria Novikova fashion_shower http://fashion-shower.livejournal.com/

In Maria Novikova's blog, you can find reviews of new collections, unusual conceptual items, advertising campaigns, forecasts of future trends, but there are not so many of her images. “The task of the Fashion shower is to introduce readers to interesting brands and young designers,” says Masha. Therefore, her love for gothic and minimalism is more often expressed in review articles for various Internet resources, and she herself is a frequent guest of master classes and lectures on blogging.

Tina grew up in Kiev, graduated from the institute and decided to work as a lawyer. While the girl tried herself as a notary's assistant, she got the idea to create a blog in search of her own style.

Tina demonstrates and tells how to combine things from different brands and brands, what to wear with an over-sized fur coat so that it does not look corny, and how a contrasting boot sole can become the main thing of the image.

Her blog does not have many images, but it is full of ironic texts, critical reviews and advice, for example, what to put on if ballet flats are already sick.

When looking at this fragile girl, it is difficult to say that she graduated from the Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University and is engaged in analytics. But her blog, created under the pseudonym Natasha du Chen only a year ago, fully reflects her nature.

Today, Linadelica's mouth-watering photos delight 150,000 Instagram followers and receive rave reviews from all over the world. Lina already has two books, joint projects with the ABC of Taste and leading restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

27. Alexandra Fedorova

I think that they are of particular interest to journalists, television people, everyone who is chasing sensations, as well as fans and admirers of the talent of famous personalities.

Now it is difficult to find a public person who does not have his own blog. It is not a fact that the author of the blog edits it himself, often blogs are run by professional journalists or writers on behalf of a famous person, but readers do not know about it. Of course, the author of the blog says what to write about, the main thoughts and theses, but experts in their field add a beautiful veil.

If you have a favorite actor, musician or politician, enter his last name and phrase into the search, for example, “Andrei Makarevich's blog” and enjoy chatting with your idol.

The most interesting blogs I read

I want to say right away that I don’t have time to read a large number of blogs and I limited their number for myself.

When I created this blog and chose a rather competitive topic (making money on the Internet, creating a blog, infobusiness), I wanted to change the topic more than once or create a second site.

The thought of creating another diary on a different topic constantly sits in my mind and, from time to time, reminds me of itself. 🙂

But in a year of editing a blog, I noticed that I am most interested in reading posts on topics similar to mine. Here are the most interesting ones:

Mikhail Shakin's blog - shakin.ru

The most interesting blog in my opinion, a lot of fascinating material, versatile posts, everything is clear, practical, a lot of valuable advice on maintaining, optimizing and promoting sites.

It's rare to find someone in the blogosphere who doesn't know Mikhail's blog. If you are one of them, I recommend becoming a regular reader and studying this resource from cover to cover. If Mikhail considers various services or programs, he does it in great detail, always gives several options and reveals their advantages and disadvantages.

It is a pity that the notes on the blog of Mikhail Shakin are published quite rarely, but each of them carries a lot of useful information.

2. Evgeny Popov's website - evgeniypopov.com

This is a classic and the basis of all knowledge for those who create websites and are engaged in information business. Evgeny Popov's materials are the most up-to-date, they have a lot of practical benefits, they are clearly presented, supplemented by wonderful video podcasts.

Often, his courses cost a lot of money, but in order to develop, you need to invest in your development.

I recently interviewed Evgeny, by the way, I have been trying to get him for 2 years)) Read it, you will like it:

This is for me, like the alphabet for a first grader, you need to learn from the very beginning. I recommend everyone to definitely study this resource and regularly read new articles, you will find a lot of useful information, I guarantee.

3. Personal SEO blog of Sergey Koksharov devaka.ru

The blog is dedicated to SEO, analytics, SEM and many other issues. All materials are checked by the author personally on other sites, all analytical calculations, observations, analysis of various algorithms and innovations of search engines are disclosed in an easy and accessible language.

At first I thought that it was simply impossible to understand everything that Sergey is talking about for beginners, but gradually studying the articles I realized that all this can be sorted out. Firstly, you need desire and aspiration, and when experience also appears in these SEO issues, then it will become easier to digest such terms))

4. Lemur Blog - ideafox.ru

Dmitry has a diary of quite diverse topics, from creating an online store to various technical innovations and services.

The presentation of the material is very interesting, not like everyone else, and this attracts. I can’t say specifically what exactly is unusual with Dmitry, maybe you can figure it out))

The traffic indicators on the blog are very significant, despite the fact that the TIC and PR are rather modest, that's what I like 🙂

Here is confirmation that you should not chase puzomerki, but you need to work on content and communicate correctly with your readers.

5. Sergey Sosnovsky's blog - sosnovskij.ru

Also a fairly well-known blog with a huge amount of valuable information, practical advice and various contests.

I like how Sergey presents information, reacts to comments or advice, and engages in dialogue with readers. He has a constant movement, new items, contests, prizes, a lot of positive, in general, light and comfortable.

This is a very sociable and pleasant interlocutor, if interested, you can read mine.

In addition to notes on creating and optimizing sites, I like to read about travel, answers to readers' questions, and various experiments based on the author's personal experience. Come in, you won't regret it.

6. Maxim Dovzhenko's blog - http://www.workformation.ru

Maxim has the youngest diary compared to those presented above, but the information and manner of presenting the material is very detailed and voluminous, or something. Previously, I have not seen such large posts, with so many figures, tables and explanations.
It is noticeable that Maxim works very seriously on his project, communicates and helps his readers on various issues.

What I also really like about the author of the blog is the planning of his articles. He outlines a whole topic, breaks it down into auxiliary ones, and gradually reveals it thoroughly. After that, he moves on to another topic, I lack this catastrophically, I can’t accustom myself to drawing up plans for notes.

I understand that advertising your direct competitors is not entirely good, but, on the other hand, where are they and where am I. I understand perfectly well that we are separated by great distances, but any soldier should dream of becoming a general, otherwise, he is worthless.

When looking for popular blogs, I was surprised by the number of requests on the topic of knitting, needlework, crochet:

Here you have another niche for a website or an information product 🙂

I wanted to find popular personal diaries on the topic of sports, travel, a healthy lifestyle, literature, start reading them regularly, but it didn’t work out. They don’t catch me, I read a little, and I don’t want to return, I don’t pull. Many resources about sports are maintained by a whole team of like-minded people and calling them a blog is somehow not logical in my opinion.

These are the popular blogs I read, this is my subjective opinion, of course. Are there any webmasters listed that you haven't heard of yet?

And who do you know of the popular bloggers who write on a topic other than info-business and creating, promoting websites, making money on the Internet?

That's all for today, see you soon!

The era of a new political reality - fair and open competition - implemented by Vyacheslav Volodin and formed following the results of the September 8 elections, has set many tasks for the participants in the country's political life. Competition for the preferences of citizens implies the establishment of an effective communication model, for which the use of the Internet and, first of all, social networks is simply necessary. An example of this is the campaign of Alexei Navalny, which, having started almost from scratch, allowed the candidate to quite effectively mobilize his niche electorate and get second place in the capital. There is a year left before the next elections, and already now representatives of political forces are beginning to reconsider the strategy of working on the Internet: it is obvious that a lot of work needs to be done in the remaining time, which, if successful, will significantly affect the outcome of the next elections.

The other day, a material was published on the website of the Center for Political Analysis under TASS, dedicated to the prospects of the LiveJournal site. Experts interviewed by the CPA tend to believe that its positions, once unattainable for competitors, are now irretrievably lost. The reason for this is both the policy of the management of the SUP, and the rapid development of other sites, primarily Facebook, Twitter, VKontakte. It's no secret that lately, as a result of constant and sometimes very dubious innovations from an increasing number of users, you can hear that LiveJournal is no longer the same as before. Someone leaves LiveJournal, transferring activity to Facebook or VKontakte and supplementing it with a Twitter account, someone switches to the so-called. standalone. Instead of “texts that replicate meanings”, short notes come, and some dishonest technologists seek to reduce political work with social networks during the campaigns only to bringing Twitter hashtags to the top and to mass retweets carried out from bot accounts.

Meanwhile, it must be admitted that from the point of view of the technological capabilities of the LiveJournal platform, it is still the most optimal platform for blogs. Both Facebook and VKontakte (not to mention microblogs) were not initially designed to work with any voluminous texts. The format of text entries, the ability to break up text with pictures and videos, add hyperlinks - a set of tools that directly affect the "readability" of the material, its perception, and from this point of view, LiveJournal, although it has lost its former chic and gloss, today is still unmatched.

The editors of Reedus present their rating of the top 50 Russian-speaking bloggers on LiveJournal who write about politics. It is supplemented by two samples of the top 10 for cities in which the level of blogging activity is traditionally high: Moscow and St. Petersburg. In the course of its preparation, both open source data (social capital, attendance, citation in the media) and expert assessments were used.

For greater clarity, bloggers who made it to the top were divided into several groups according to conditional political platforms. Three of them were singled out: “opposition-white tape” (radical opposition agenda), “moderate opposition” (democratic, liberal, leftist, nationalist and other views), “patriotic-protective”. In cases where blog materials were of a general nature about politics (with a minimum number of personal judgments in favor of one side or another), they were assigned to the fourth group - a group of blogs of a general political orientation.

According to the results obtained, LiveJournal today is more of a platform where bloggers of oppositional views of a more or less radical orientation have gathered. On the one hand, no matter how paradoxical it may be, there is a so-called. the “silent majority” phenomenon: a person who is satisfied with everything shows lower activity, whether it be elections (turnout rates on September 8) or blogs, and a person who encounters any irritants speaks out about them, which forms the overall picture Learn activities. On the other hand, there is a layer of people - citizens and voters, with whom the political forces must learn to work, drawing them into their orbit. And the point here is not just “working out the agenda”, but building serious work with “meanings” that will attract, captivate and mobilize supporters, as well as clarify controversial issues for doubters.
