Woo-Hoo the reviewer is back on the block!

Oh yes, yes, yes... I am BACK!!!

To ease me back into the reviewers life we open today with a rundown of the top 10!.

Yes Ladies and Gents it's time for that all unimportant Mad-Den Top Sites TOP 10. We will be running down the TOP 10 and looking to the possibilities for the comeing weeks

The top 3 slots remain unchanged since the "Pritty Woman Picture Thread" pushed its way in to number 2 where it settled down. The real action is in the battle in the 6 to 10 section.

#10 - "DuDu's Dad Desz"

Desz has pushed his way back into the top ten after Overkill pushed him to back to 11. This Blog is enjoying one of it's best weeks for a long time and if this trend continues it could be a contender for riding up the ranks. His oldest stat is a poor 74 Uniques while his current average is 181.75 with this week at a 275 high.

#9 - "sarah shireen: using my right to..."

This blog is running under par (193.5), even though it has managed to sustain it's position dispite the intrusion of Overkill. The stat that will soon stop counting on the four week average is 66.5 underpar and by far the lowest of the four stats. This means thaqt Desz is going to have a tough fight if he wants to steal 9th after the weekend.

#8 - "Blogging Overkill"

The new challenger that last week burst into the top ten, displacing Desz. It is a blog and traffic system and has run a tough race against this weeks current number 9 fighting to slowly overcome a better run of averages. This blogs average stands at 195.25 uniques but it's oldest week stands at just 41. After that extraordenery low number he runs 272, 268, 200 with a lot of time left to ride intop the 270 mark. If it can make that and do the same next week we could be looking at a new challenger for the top places. You heard it here first folks.

#7 - "SucK My BlooD And **** My SouL!"

Holding a strong average of 220 this blog is the boss monster that the challengers are going to have to face to gain enterence into the next level of play. However it's not all roses for this blog as it's strongest stat (302) is about to slip into history and this week looks all set to be the weakest one under onsideration. With Overkill snapping at it's heals with a 200 average this blog could simply slip down a place as the change over kicks in sunday night. Monday looks set to be a battle of giants.

#6 - "Death Maiden"

With a user rating of 3.33 over 5 this is the stable lord of the 6 to 10 slot. It's average is 228 and the strongest stat (303) has an extra week to run. However this blog is running 83 under par with a reasonably strong stat about to be history. I have a feeling this blog could face the challengers in a hard battle to maintain 6th.


The 6/5 barrier is one of the biggest hurdles a blog must face. Not only is there the psycological barrier of passing the blog banners but this is the point that the stats rise sharply. The top 5 has been for some time a rather unexciting compition with each of the blogs maintaining a mostly stable grip on it's place

#5 - "My Adventures in the US of A "

This one time number one is still holding out at number five with a user rating of 5 over 5 (100%) and an average of 270.75 this blog has astoundingly exact uniques week on week and will proove very hard to better. Any blog wanting to pass this well read blog will need a consistant 297+ every week.

#4 - "A Jumbled Up Mind"

Jumbled Mind hold #4 with an iron grip with an average of 280.25 and this weeks stats look set to come close to that average but it looks like this campion could be flagging. Last weeks stat was an all time low at 86.25 under par and the best week is about to leave the running. This will leave the champ at a very vulnerable place and I think we could see a little movement this coming week.


Once you cross the 4/3 barrier your know your blog is into the big times. The top 3 sites are the really big players and they carry massive averages.

#3 - "sk8rn"

Rated 5 over 5 by the users this Blog truely rules the roost at Mad-Den Top sites. With an average of 295.75 and the general feeling of little change this skateboarding night shift nurse's blog is unlikely to break from number three but it is unlikely that it will be shifting down either.

#2 - "Pretty Women Picture Thread"

This phpBB powered female-form appriciation forum has an average of 349.5 uniques by catering to the lowest common denominater. A trick that seems to have worked very well from this site. There is no blog related content and with this weeks fall off added to the mix there is a chance that a blog pulling 500 a week could easily dislodge this site from it's throne.

#1 - "Parenthood for Dummies"

Ruling the roost at Number one, the king of Blogs: a blog all about being a newbie Dad. Rated an impressive 4.5 over 5 by 8 users and running an average of 469.5 this is a blog with a massive following. Like all blogs this one shows slight signs of a reduction in uniques but this is going to be related to the time of year and the general good weather. I somehow doubt that this blog is in any danger of taking a reduction any time soon.
