Top 10 SharePoint sites according to PostRank
I was doing some catch up work after returning from SharePoint Saturday in Chicago and hit Post Rank to see how things were going. Nice surprise this week… EndUserSharePoint.com is listed as #2 for the week. Thanks for all the great help from the contributing authors. Lovin’ it.
Let’s take a look at the Top 10 SharePoint blogs according to Post Rank to see what everyone is up to.

- “Hi, I’m Tim and I’m a geek. (Say it with me: Hi Tim!) I currently work for Microsoft as a program manager for Microsoft Silverlight, a web technology aimed at delivering rich internet experiences to users. Before this current role, I was a developer evangelist for Microsoft serving the Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Montana and Utah areas aiming to strengthen and support communities and software developers in these geographies.”
- End User SharePoint
- “EndUserSharePoint.com is a community of SharePoint authors dedicated to providing content to SharePoint End Users on three levels: Information Worker, Power User/Site Administrator and Site Collection Administrator. Through the use of a Stump the Panel discussion forum, a Weekly Newsletter to over 7500 subscribers, and 100s of screencasts, the site provides daily content, addressing common SharePoint End User issues.

- InfoPath Team Blog : SharePoint
- “This blog comes straight from the source: the team that’s building InfoPath. We’ll focus on the ins and outs, tips and tricks, and best practices for getting the most out of InfoPath 2003 and InfoPath 2007 Beta.

- “First and foremost, this blog is not going away. I won’t be contributing here after this post. All new posts will be on http://www.sharepointjoel.com. My RSS feed has been updated automatically. If this is the last post you’ve gotten, then you need to update to the feedburner address which is on http://www.sharepointjoel.com or the RSS link on this site.” (Note from EndUserSharePoint.com: This is Joel’s old blog location, but it is still active enough to rank, according to PostRank.)
Congratulations! Keep up the great work. This site does well because of the community of folks helping others that you have built.
Thanks, Mark!
Hey! I am not sure.. what you have looked for .. but when I Click on this link
http://www.postrank.com/topic/Sharepoint
the URL shows me that EUSP is #1 . That’s great guys…! Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Vamshi. I hadn’t seen that. Made me smile a bit. — Mark
Congrats Mark, BTW this does vary on a daily basis as the metrics are remeasured. So one day you can be on top and the next you can be on the second page ;-)
Agree with Jeremy.
I’ve been monitoring PostRank for several months and the results just don’t make sense to me. Some sites go several hundred ranks up or down in a week (see your screenshot), what’s the meaning?
I’ll add that the results are inconsistent. I just took a look at the current ranking, and for the Infopath team it says:
current: 14
last week: 27
Completely different from your screenshot.
Oh well, maybe I caught it on a good minute. — Mark
Well, you have nothing to prove anyway :-)
I am still looking for a way to identify the best SharePoint blogs and posts.
Technorati has been a mess recently, and I have stopped updating my list of SharePoint blogs (last update is May 1st).
Postrank is a black box and fluctuates too much to be reliable.
The best I’ve found so far is Delicious. Unfortunately they don’t provide an easy way to pull stats or rankings from their site.
