There is no right way :)

I mean – he basically found some blogs that had high Alex rankings, decided on pageviews, believed the ad-rate to be true, and then multiplied away.

There are so many holes that … its just not worth doing really!

Ahmed I agree, it seemed to be something that just looked at the big players not the real networks.

What is the right way to measure a blog network? Is that an open question or is it as simple as the Comscore etc for all?

Surprised they missed b5 – that was quite the ‘oops’

Also – taking CPM rates at face value? Eg Daily Blog Tips at $1.8 million – are you kidding me? :)

They also seemed to have missed Slash Press.

Can I say that was an awful post? :)
