Thanks to your continued loyalty and readership, 22gigantes.com has made steady progress since its debut six months ago and is quickly becoming one of the most popular Giants' blogs in the world!
According to Alexa (the industry leader for traffic rankings), 22gigantes.com is now up to number two among indy blogs with an average of 836 daily page views, behind Bay City Ball (1,113 daily page views). Bay Area Sports Guy (536), Giants Baseball Blog (536), and El Lefty Malo (497) round out the top five. I encourage you to visit as many as these blogs as possible. They're all pretty cool and written by knowledgeable Giants fans.
Also, check out some of the newcomers like Fire-Sabean, a hilarious site that pokes fun at Giants' management and gives away cool t-shirts, Big Time Timmy Jim by Matt Leland, an up-and-coming sports journalist, and Giants Midnight Replay, a site that uses screen shots from MLB.TV and a unique Neukom rating system to evaluate each game.

*NOTE: For the sake of these rankings, I did not include "reference" sites like FanGraphs or Baseball-Reference.com -- whom I rely upon for all my stats -- or the "corporate sellout" sites like McCovey Chronicles (a subsidiary of the Daily Kos) and Andrew Baggarly's Extra Baggs, a fine blog but a publication of the mega San Jose Mercury News. Instead, my Top 25 is comprised of indy sites, run by sleepless, everyday hacks like me. As you can see by the estimated monthly ad revenue, blogging ain't exactly a get-rich-quick scheme. And I kind of like it that way. Source: haplog.com
