ENWorld last week had a posting about
their being #2 on the Top 100 RPG Blogs List. Now, there are some really obscure sites listed on that list - which currently only goes up to 75. There is some sort of equation using Twitter, Facebook and Alexa ranking that pulls it all together.
Following the
link to the Top 100 RPG list I found on ENWorld, I noticed you had to submit your site for consideration. I figured, what the heck - nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Then I received the above email this morning.
So, in order to be listed, I would need to subscribe for 3 bucks a month. A list of 100. The list can potentially bring in 300 bucks a month, 3600 a year.
And
Feedspot has "Top XX" lists for everything.
But if you have to pay to be on such a list, what is the true value of the list?
First, they aren't all blogs. Youtube channels and Reddits are also on the list. Which is why the competing titles are confusing.
Second, Congratulations for paying to be on a list!
Third, the list is FAR from the "most comprehensive list of best RPG blogs on the internet." But I guess Anuj is "honored" to take your cash every month.
Last, as I said above - the list doesn't even hit 100.
In any case, I won't be paying to play and neither should you.
