The AdAge 150 rankings are imperfect. There are way more than 150 sites (too much data) and the formula used is too arcane, at least for my incredibly biased tastes. Also, every site under the marketing sun is listed there, including SEO sites, consultant’s self-promo sites, social media sites and so on.
So here’s another view of media entities dedicated to our industry (prepared by Alexa and me):
*showcase site
One might deduce from this list that gallery, or showcase sites, where it literally is “all about the work” are incredibly popular. My friend Tom Asacker says, “Of course they are. People are looking for ideas!”
It’s also interesting to note that Adrants.com is bigger than Adweek.com. That says a lot about our modern media digiscape, does it not?
