Someone who I recently became aware of on Twitter.com is Ron Hudson. His recent survey results prove just how brave of a man he truly is…On Hudson’s Immediate Influence Blog, he created a list of the top 50 Women in Social Media. So just how did Hudson determine the “winners?” Let’s quote Ron’s site:
“…we used Alexa to evaluate each person nominated for this list. While you will undoubtedly notice that some of the ladies have a large amount of sites linked to their blogs or websites, the determining factor was ranking. Why? Ranking depicts how much traffic their blogs/websites receive over a certain period. Although Google ranking is impacted by sites linking in, Alexa appears to care much more about traffic generated by the links…”
Not happy with his ;ist or wish your name was on it? Feel free to comment at his site: 50 OF THE MOST POWERFUL AND INFLUENTIAL WOMEN IN SOCIAL MEDIA
