Who are these A-list bloggers? I hear a lot about the subject while I am reading articles but i do question who they are.

What variables make up this elite band of bloggers and why is it so important to be one in the first place. First off it must must readership?? Say Dailyblogtips.com has 10000 readership and John chow has only 7500 is DBT ( daily blog tips ) an a-list and John chow is a b-list? or maybe problogger has 40000 backlinks and www.shoemoney.com has only 15000 backlinks for a term such as “blogging tips”. Like everything is comes down to traffic. Goto alexa.com and check out who the a-listers are via their traffic rankings. Its more than just plain ol traffic but “directed traffic” and only these guys know what sort of real traffic they are getting. If person a does a search on google  for gaming and is looking for a playstation only to find that hes Jumped on a nintendo gaming site then he will not stay for a moment. This could be said for blogging sites.  Most of the big A-listers use the same old keywords such a “make money online” etc which is an  extremely general term. So when you search for such terms and the user is looking for something specific and jumps on a blogging site he may hit “gold” and the site is the one he is looking for, however such general terms do not represent to specific blog sites so he may have to click on a number of blogs just to find what he is looking for.

To sum up: its content as usual which in turn makes the traffic - A List bloggers are true communicators and have the skills to know what their users are looking for and have to grab their attention in less than 5 seconds, otherwise its just traffic and nothing else. When you next build a site or perhaps build a blog make sure the content is relevant to the user and not just to you.
