There was a time when I think I had the liberal blog with the most traffic (though certainly never the most trafficked liberal website in the broader genre.) That's before Kos sold his soul to Satan and became top dog.
One thing I find interesting is how people regularly claim it's difficult to draw traffic to a new blog. There's some truth to that, I suppose, but only in relative terms. Two years ago ago this "top liberal blog" had...how much traffic? On September 11, 2001 (a record traffic day) Instapundit had... how much traffic? Feel free to guess.
My point is just that even many "minor blogs" have fairly sizeable traffic compared to what most had just a couple of years ago.
I remember being thrilled when 1000 per day read the site. When 20000 did I assumed I'd peaked, and was thrilled that I had the wee chance to influence that many people.
