A tactic that some news and content sites employ is monitoring Google’s Hot Trends list in an effort to identify hot topics and then quickly produce matching content around them.

I found a slew of “top 20” or “top 50” or “top-whatever” lists. Finding this elusive 2nd-tier group of bloggers was quite a bit more challenging than scanning “top 50 lists.” No one was publishing lists of up-and-comers. I started to embark on a multi-day project of sifting through blogrolls and aggregation sites like Bloglovin.

It’s important to note that marking up your pages doesn’t guarantee that your listings will get Rich Snippets, as Google says they will be rolling them out gradually.

While a number of smaller markets and weaker teams are at the bottom of the list, I didn’t expect to see the Miami Heat down there. The Lakers and Magic get to enjoy the fruits of being anointed to Twitter’s ‘Suggested User List,’ and thus the skewed standings. Great work, Adam.

I believe that playing in the World Series got the Yankees and Phillies added to the previous version of Twitter’s Suggested Users list, which is likely why their numbers are so much higher. Not surprisingly the Yankees and Red Sox are at the top of the standings, although Boston is far behind the Yankees and Phillies in Twitter followers.
