There are hundreds of great church blogs and ministry blogs to read, but do you ever wonder which church blogs everyone else is reading?

I do, which is why I have compiled a list of the world’s top church blogs.

Some focus exclusively on ministry, while others are more like theology or news blogs. Regardless of how you label them, these are the world’s most popular church blogs written by many of today’s most influential church leaders, journalists, theologians, and Christ followers.

And you can follow almost everyone of them on Twitter!

• Alexa Rank
  Alexa’s traffic rankings are based on the usage patterns of Alexa Toolbar users and data collected from other, diverse sources over a rolling 3 month period. A site’s ranking is based on a combined measure of reach and pageviews. Reach is determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single pageview. The site with the highest combination of users and pageviews is ranked #1.
• Compete Visitors
  The number of unique visitors that visited the website in August 2010 according to Compete.
• Google PageRank
  PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important.”
• Google Reader Subscribers
  The number of Google Reader users that subscribe to each blog. Note: this is not total RSS subscribers but rather how many Google Reader users subscribe to each blog.
• Yahoo Inlinks
  The number of links going to a blog’s entire site but excluding all self-linking links.

HOW THE LIST IS COMPUTED

1. Several hundred blogs are reviewed in a preliminary screening to determine if their statistics are competitive enough to be ranked.
2. 245 blogs are selected to be ranked.
3. Data is collected for each blog from all 5 measured criteria (i.e., Alexa Rank, Compete Visitors, Google PageRank, Google Reader Subscribers, and Yahoo Inlinks).
4. For each of the 5 measured criteria, each blog is ranked in comparison to all other blogs being evaluated.
5. A composite rank for each blog is determined by averaging each blogs ranking from the 5 measured criteria.
6. The top 200 blogs are published.
