Being new to blogging in the finance niche, we’ve spent a lot of time looking at the top blogs to “follow” in terms of popularity and interesting content. After a lot of research we thought, ‘Why not make a blog post about some of the sites we have found to be the best in the niche?’
Instead of just being a basic list of links, we wanted to take things a step further and really rank these websites.
Therefore, we have looked at the following criteria; Google Pagerank, Alexa Rank, Feed subscribers and Technorati score and give each site a score out of 10 for the ratings and present you with the following results.
