UPDATE: 6/5/10
All of the tech issues from yesterday have been resolved. WUWT is now listed as the Top blog in the Sciences category by Wikio. My thanks to everyone who helps make WUWT a success.
=======================================================
From Greg Laden’s Science Blog, a preview of the upcoming science blog rankings. Apparently, WUWT is going to be number one. Oddly though, the Wikio Widget at the right sidebar which has said #2 for months, has suddenly stopped showing my ranking. When you click through it you find the number two science blog spot is now occupied by some shoes, cats, and shopping blog:
And WUWT is nowhere to be found now. Maybe it’s just a glitch. Maybe Greg’s just having some fun with me as his top post is cat related. Heh. No worries, I’m sure it will all get sorted out.

Here is a sneak preview of what the June Wikio rankings for Science Blogs is going to look like:

It is possible with threats and attacks, some adversary had you removed. Re identified as a non science blog. Climate progress uses
misinformers
anti science
deniers and other labels.
If you are #1, you will have more shots taken at you.
REPLY: Maybe, but with the cat and shopping blog showing up in #2, I’m going to go with simple technical failure first before ascribing any motives. Let’s see how it plays out. – Anthony
Hide the incline? ;-> I have to admit that I’ve never heard of half of those other blogs.
Approaching 50 million hits. I suspect the warmists want to move the goal posts and say popularity is no longer relevant?
REPLY: Oh, Smokin Joe Romm already did that, and got taken to task with his own data by Lucia.

Heh. – Anthony
WUWT FTW! Congrats Anthony, love the site.
Congrats Anthony,
When ever I see your detractors claiming this is not a “science” blog and the rest of the schlock, I just shake my head. I have visited some of the other sites and it is like revisiting kindergarten.
Congratulations once again. Cheers, Steve Mc
PS. I wonder how http://www.nextgenerationscience.com/ got its ranking? It only had 329 hits yesterday according to its front page; only has a few comments per post and only a few posts in the last few months.
The cream always rises to the TOP!
Congratulations Anthony. A well deserved position!
Keep it up. You guys are busy! [But not too busy to correct my little miss-thread, thanks.]
The study of feline shoe shopping is big grant money now, Anthony.
Could be legit. 🙂
Cats?
Congratulations.
You have earned it.
The cat’s out of the bag. This site is the cats’ pajamas.
From that Greg Laden link (presumably no relation to Osama bin) the following is found on the left side bar:
Lovely. Just having some fun? Just pulling your leg, as would a playful cuddly wuddly polar bear? 😉
Congratulations, you’re definitely my #1, great site, informative, excellent guest posts, lots of interesting science and a host of interesting commenters. I learn something every time I’m here. Thanks.
Ken
No, you are there, #77 and falling.
REPLY: Heh, well that’s incongruous. -A
WUWT is still #2 on the wikio blog, but their site appears to have been hacked. All of the “Top posts” in the #2 spot are WUWT links.

Come September, WUWT will be #1 across the board.
And to think I started reading WUWT before it was really cool! Actually, its always been cool, but with lots more people reading, its really cool. I remember Anthony’s post on a valid hockey stick showing the sharp rise after Nov 19, 2009.
I’m sure that some of the competitors in the climate area are unhappy that WUWT is warming, and climate science reputation is cooling. I’m happy to report I’m not one of those. So if it is true WUWT is the new #1, congratulations 🙂

WUWT is not showing in the top 100. Perhaps they have the GISSTEMP problem with the inappropriate minus sign, only opposite.
Well done and congrats.

“THE SUN IS WAKING UP FROM A DEEP SLUMBER, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity. At the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms. The intersection of these two issues is what we’re getting together to discuss.” – NASA

The Conspiracy Deepens!
At Wikio, Climate Audit has 2 rankings, Top Blogs General (#227) and Sciences (#7).
WUWT only has Top Blogs General (#77). No Sciences ranking! It has ceased to be a sciences blog!
The sky is falling, we are all doomed, the Apocalypse is… Wait, you’re #77 out of ALL the blogs?

Currently online: 5Visitors today: 267Visitors yesterday: 329 2009 visitors: 150,639
150k visitors in 2009 (half a year..) puts it at #6?
There’s something fishy going on here.
Hathaway’s June SSN prediction is down again to 65 (range 35-95)

#1 according to wikio? Just catching up to reality, perhaps.
Congratulations. But don’t let it go to your head. Don’t get complacent.
