Any tips on quick ways to find which blogs are the "power players" in a particular niche? Alexa? Alltop? Something else?

thanks in advance......

    Google, Bing, Yahoo,,, are the first places I usually start.

    Try this in your search "niche name" + "blog" and type it in exactly like that with the quotes and the + symbol.

    If your looking for wordpress blogs, try this "niche name" + "wordpress" and that will give you everything with wordpress and the niche name.

          thanks....

          how would you find blog rankings on technorati for niches that aren't listed in their blog directory? (Blog Directory - Technorati) It's a very general list. Simply searching for the niche on the site provides a laundry list of blog posts, not a ranking of any sort.

          Ideas?

          TIA.....

            I like to use Digg, Delicious, Stumble Upon and Reddit - search under your keywords and they will return sites that are heavily tagged.

            While this is not foolproof (since tagging can be faked), but most of the time you get sites that are high authority.

            Some of these links will be blogs, some websites - either way you get high authority sites.

            Even for those links that return sites - you can typically find a blog on that site (sort of backward research, but still brings you to the high authority blog)

    Sometimes bloggers like to list the top 100 blogs in their "niche". I was lucky to find such a list in my niche with their twitter details. OR

    You can search top 100 blogs + twitter OR
    top 10/20 or whatever blogs + "your niche"

    Do some quick searches in the following places and see what blogs come up in more than one occasion.
    1. Google Blog Search and search using the most relevant keywords in your niche
    2. Technorati
    3. Alexa

    Use more than one search term. Use google keyword tool and filter by most relevant vs most searches per month. You can also use google's wonderwheel.
