Thanks for your response and very good question.
Who rank them? One of the existing blog search engines like Twingly or Technorati or a new service.
Is there any objective criteria? In my opinion I think that one should have an objective in mind when searching. For instance if I’m a business my objective is to know who is the best that can help my organization with information or to spread my message. When I search I have a task to accomplish, and if the service can be more aligned with my objectives, then I can achieve it quicker with higher chance of success.

Is the demand (hits) the only criteria? Not sure, I only suggest to rank them within a category. I also pointed out in this post some of the challenges to rank them using inbound links. I do think that trafic count. Any suggestions?

Do the best blogs have the most hits? I believe so, within a criteria and relative to a criteria. This is exactly the purpose of this blog post. If you rate all blogs as if they all belong to the same criteria you’ll end up with a list of top blogs concentrated to few subject that interest most people. It will not help to understand within a certain domain who is the best. In most of the times you’ll see politic and technology at the top. It is meaningless to compare political with technology blog, don’t you think?

Are porno blogs the best? If there are any porno blogs (are they any?) and they get the most traffic then if they will be categorized as I suggest, you’ll be able to know which blog is the best in the porno blogging industry. As it is today you’ll only see that porno blog are at the top ahead of political and technology blogs.
