My last blog post detailed the most popular Giant Bomb user profiles.  But what good is that?  Examining profile page views feels like a high school popularity contest.  Does a high view count mean you're a hard working member of the community adding value to the site? Maybe.  But we can't really tell by simply looking at profile page views. We need more granularity.
 
To shed some clarity on the subject of why certain Giant Bomb members get higher profile views, I bring you a list of the top user blogs. Discuss.

Damnit! Wait, I was beaten by /blog/? Something that apparently doesn't even have a profile?!?!? I think need to lie down.

...can't believe people read my stuff.  O_o 
 
Thanks guys. 
 
It's kinda moving, and I vow to make more serious stuff now since people read it.

Aww man! I thought for sure that fictional re-imaginings of Dave's life would get me into the top 50 for sure!

Ha, well you posted that back in May.  This data is just for October.  Looks like you need to write a part 2 for November. "

So that's why Sweep's blog isn't on the list. He didn't blog for a month. "

Interesting read.

I would like to say that the poor formatting, egregious spelling errors, and broken links on my blog were all a result of me feeling light headed half way into eating my pizza. I thought about fixing all of it but the bad grammar adds to the blog...I finally fixed the broken links though.

 
@ethan: Do you have data for who has written the most blogs on the site? I think it's Dalai or Bruce...? "

I should post more often. If I could crack the top ten on IGN a few years ago, I can do it on GiantBomb now. If only I had time to actually play games...

Dang, I was hoping for a quality assessment. 
 
Nonetheless, I really enjoy these posts.

Interesting stuff. 
 
Wondering how I can gain popularity for my monthly blog Patch Notes so I can make the list and feel special!

Stats! I love stats!

I could probably look that up in the database tomorrow. "

it's a shame VGK isn't higher. his stuff is great.  
fun stats! keep them coming..! 

" @Sweep: @buzz_clik: I just checked analytics.  Sorting the data by just the days in November, Sweep is back up to #7th most read blog. "

Here's the list without the Bogus blogs and Staff blogs, plus links to profiles. 
 
1. Bruce
2. ZombiePie
3. buzz_clik

All you have to do to get on the list is sell your virginity to Video_Game_King and he will make it happen. That's how megchar got on the list. The dude hasn't even written a single blog. "

But I sold my virginity to a comely, albeit slightly chubby, lassie in my now sister-in-law's house some years ago. I can't sell him something I no longer have! :O "

What's with all the spam blog hits? Are people actually looking at those things?

Yum, delicious stats, interesting developments once again Ethan. I am rather surprised by all the spam blogs up there and the popularity of "/blog/" though.

My bad on the pizza. You can't just place a pizza in front of me and not expect me to eat it. On the blogs, at least I'm there, although I am a bit freaked out that the first post on my last blog was an ad. Great.

Need to be more popular... ARGHH.

Spam blogs shouldn't be on these lists when I do them again at the end of the month. In october we got hammered by spammer accounts. "

Will /blog/ be excluded too next time? As I mentioned earlier, I think that's the Whiskey Media blog and not Giant Bomb. "

I dont think so. That's the key word that I used to sort google analytics. "

That's neat!  I really like these stat posts that have been coming out lately.

Only follow Bruce's blog out of all of those.
