RSSTop 25 Celebrity Blogs
It is time to cover another niche on our Top 25 series. Celebrity blogs are among the most popular on the Internet. People just love gossip. As a result, they tend to receive a lot of traffic, and to be very profitable.
I would guess that the lower blogs on our list earn at least $5,000 monthly, while the top ones should be over the $50,000 monthly figure.
Keep in mind that the Top 25 takes into consideration only objective factors. The maximum score is 40, and the details about our algorithm can be found below the list.

The list is quite different from expectation like digital inspiration ie labnol.org and pro blogger .
Where these are in the listing position ?
Nice list!
Perez Hilton is always at the top
Suresh, I am not sure what you talking about.
These are all celebrity blogs. Digital inspiration is a tech blog, while problogger is a “make money online” blog.
celeb market blogs are tappped out
perez hilton makes a killing with advertisement
Yeah..Perez hilton maybe always not on top but no one knows when.
what do you mean not always on top?
There was also something similar recently in the finance niche: http://www.harringtonbrooks.co.....nce-blogs/
@Glen Allsopp, looks like they copied my algorithm
.
why do you have technorati up there?
Why not compare all of these blog through compete.com as well?
@Alex, because technorati is a measure of backlinks and link popularity.
@Jaan, because Alexa is still the most reliable traffic metric out there. Compete behaves weirdly when you have non-us sites involved.
Alexa is a reliable traffic measure? Hardly. Plenty of tools can create a false Alexa profile for any website.
@Jaan, still it is the best metric we have. Why do you think some advertising networks use it? They are putting money on the table, and using Alexa as a decision factor.
I know it is not perfect, but it is what we got. After the change in the algorithm, most people recognized that the number got even closer to the real situation also.
It’s no surprise Perez is #1.. his site is a daily favourite of mine, along with TMZ.
Why is Valleywag on the list? That is not a celebrity blog – and even if it was classed as one, which it isn’t – Gawker should be above it…
@Samuel, Valleywag covers tech celebrities, so it goes on the list.
As for Gawker being above, well, the ranking is based on objective factors, it is not our opinion.
I don’t think people will ever get fed up with gossip and dirt. It’s what drives the media sales. I have heard people for years talk about the very same thing when it comes to the gossip you hear on TV and on the newsstands. But yet the TV show networks and magazine companies continue to thrive, and we all check them out once in, a while we are at home, or while standing in line at the local Wal-Mart. Why do we like it? I don’t know. Most of us lead average, normal lives, and maybe we are looking for a little excitement without the risk. We let others do it for us, that’s what celebrities are for. Haha. Thanks for the list and the insight into what can be used to make money on the internet. Celebrity sites!!
I agree maybe take a look at compete.com’s numbers and maybe try quantcast. Just a thought!
Perez Hilton is such a jerk — and he doesn’t have a problem with blatantly swiping other people’s materials while not giving them credit.
Example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/a.....235837052/
Tacky, tacky, tacky!
the only time perez is a top…
I also visit perez, the truth is that we all love gossip, that’s the human nature
Nice list. I am visiting some of those blogs.
I need to work harder, so in few months one of my celeb’s blogs will be listed up there.
Interesting. I’m surprised Perez Hilton is above TMZ. I figured TMZ was the king.
I like to suggest everyone a celebrity image gallery which is free, unique and really very good.
Those who want to have a little bit of entertainment in between their work, can take a break and watch freeuniqueimages.com. Unique thing
about this site is that…only full body decent images of more than 200 celebrities are there with full emphasis on great figure. There are
RSS, forums, blogs & chat features also where you can connect with each others.
I think the market is becoming saturated with these celebrity blogs but there will always be a demand.
People love a bit of celeb gossip… I know I do!!! But it’s all about not taking it all too seriously. Focusing on our own lives so to speak!
Very interesting list.
what about mediatakeout.com? that is the website that i visit faithfully. then again, it is the #1 visited black website in the world. we obviously don’t count.
Sorry to intervene. I wanted to ask, where can I find the top 500 list of celebrity blogs, if there is one. This 25 is ok, but can I find more sites? maybe eeven get the alexa and Technorati ranking too. Any ideas? (Thanks)
Thanks for the list. very helpful.
Thank you for the list. I definitly love reading up on celebrity blogs.
Thanks for doing a good survery on celebrity .
log statics of pagerank of different search engines.
it gives clear hide which blogs work very well with high traffice
This was too good. I love to keep myself entertained and this blog list was really good.
I already have made my favourites
Keep up the Good job.

But Gawker has sub domain blogs in there e.g. ValleyWag and Defamer are just Gawker by another name and ‘look’ so why list them 3 times?
wow these blogs are really great…. Now I’m thinking to have my own blog just like these hahaha.
this blog has useful information for bloggers
Interesting list, thanks very much for putting it together!
Can’t believe perez hilton is at the top.
