		<description>Kineda has a tool based on Technorati that you can use (they explain the methodology at the bottom of the post):

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kineda.com/are-you-an-a-list-bloglebrity/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Are You an A-List Bloglebrity?&lt;/a&gt;

They even have graphics you can use:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kineda.com/are-you-an-a-list-bloglebrity/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.kineda.com/bloglebrity/blist.png&quot; alt=&quot;B-List Blogger&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
or the more subtle chicklet:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kineda.com/are-you-an-a-list-bloglebrity/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.kineda.com/bloglebrity/blist_chicklet.png&quot; alt=&quot;B-List Blogger&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

My &lt;a href=&quot;http://entrepreneurs.about.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;About Entrepreneurs&lt;/a&gt; site is just on the cusp of becoming A-list. Maybe a big push in July will help it over the top.  :-)</description>

		<description>That&#039;s a pretty cute mechanism of ranking websites, and the classification for D-List Bloggers, C-List Bloggers, B-List Bloggers and the Very High Authority Group A-List Bloggers. Something to keep bloggers engrossed in for some time now :p</description>

		<description>Thank you again Scott !
Will be going back and checking the links in this post I haven&#039;t seen yet.
Really liked this advice :
How often do you use your favourite people as a springboard to some thinking and posting of your own?
Will be linking to this page.

Take care...</description>

		<description>Thanks for the great article on how to expand awareness of my blog.  Many of us who offer political commentary do it not necessarily for attention from the media but for attention from other bloggers and from pundits who want to debate the issues.  I love to get into a heated, but intelligent, discussion of the issues of the day, and having a space on the net to air my opinion and have others respond to it is my number one goal.  Now I have my site with lots of content, I just need to increase my traffic and this article offers concrete suggestions on how to do just that.  Thanks again!
