Hi Mohammed,
I apologize if I mistook your question. Let me see if I can answer that correctly for you.
one method would be to use Alexa and type in simply most popular blogs do not check off any other categories or countries. It will then give you a list of the most popular blogs and the way it decides what is more popular than the other is by how much traffic the blogs receive here is the URL with the query in it.
http://www.alexa.com/search?q=most+popular+blogs&p=gkey&r=site_screener
if you use Google blog search it will target only blogs and give you the ability to query only blogs when you wish to find information on them.
http://www.google.com/blogsearch
this website below uses Alexa gives you exactly what you are asking for as far as the most popular blogs and it allows you to set it via month and go back and look at the past as well
http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/blogs
in other method of finding the most popular posts would be to use this tool for blogger
http://www.blogger.webaholic.co.in/2011/05/popular-posts-widget-for-blogger.html
I would consider signing up for discuss and querying which blogs receive the most comments
here is a article on how to find the most popular blogs for your topic
http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/06/how-to-quickly-find-good-blogs-that.html
Here is a interesting article from life hacker on how to get only the blog posts you want via RSS
http://lifehacker.com/344188/get-only-the-posts-you-want-from-lifehackers-site-feeds
here are the top websites in the world
here is about.com and a list of the 10 most popular blogs in the world
http://webtrends.about.com/od/profile1/tp/Top-10-Most-Popular-Blogs.htm
one method is to use a tool like Alexa something that indexes and already knows the popularity of the websites it gives you access to. For instance I can go into category "top sites" "news" then select "weblogs" and receive this
http://www.alexa.com/topsites/category/Weblogs
I believe this last link might be the most useful to you
http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/06/how-to-quickly-find-good-blogs-that.html
the question about RSS feeds and the number of subscribers is able to be answered using this tool however they must be using feed burner something I believe will not hurt you in your search to find out how many people have subscribed. As feed burner is by far the most popular RSS
http://thinktraffic.net/how-to-find-an-unpublished-rss-subscriber-count
I am sorry for the long list of links.
To give you the answer regarding subscribers and most popular post I would have to say that the most popular posts is
an Ehow article that I hope will help to better answer your question.
http://www.ehow.com/how_2009187_most-popular-blogs.html
If you would not mind elaborating more on exactly what it is you are looking to do I am certain I could be of more help. As far as trying to find the best solution for your question I hope I have done that however if I have not please let me know and I will do the best I can to answer it. If you can explain to me more fully what the end goal is I think I will be able to be of help to you.
Sincerely,
Thomas

Thomas, thanks for your detailed insight into the Moz community! I do think that this poster is looking for something slightly different though. I think they have a list of blog URLs and they want to know for each blog how many RSS subscribers it has, the most popular post in that list, etc.

Hi Mohammed,
First off let me say welcome to Moz!
The popular post URLs in Moz this is a list of blogs posts currently written and featured on the "Moz Blog" for instance a URL in that category can be something that has been written by either a Moz staff member, affiliate, whiteboard Friday (done by Rand mostly but sometimes by others) or YouMoz post ( YouMoz is a collection of members posting their own blogs to Moz if you have a very popular post it will be featured on YouMoz).
The way Moz knows what is popular or not is by using its outstanding analytics program here is a URL showing the amount of comments rather they were considered helpful by the community with a thumbs up or not helpful with the thumbs down Facebook shares, twitter shares & Google+ shares just to name a few of the things they track. This is a current blog that is considered popular here are the statistics that I believe are used to decide makes it the most popular
http://moz.com/blog/the-web-developers-seo-cheat-sheet-2013-edition/stats
If it has enough people responding with a thumbs-up meaning this is something useful along with the fact that Moz has a fantastic analytics program built into it allowing them to essentially see exactly how many people have read the post if it is very popular something most people here are interested in then it is placed in the most popular URLs
As far as the number of RSS data showing how many people are subscribed to the " Moz Top Ten News" this puts you on a newsletter where you will receive an e-mail getting the top 10 sources of inbound marketing information found on Moz sent to you monthly via e-mail
currently there are 218,432 subscribers shown to be taking advantage of this RSS feed/newsletter
I really hope you are enjoying all the wonderful tools and people here at Moz I know you will enjoy it.
I hope this has answered your question
Sincerely,
Thomas

How To Stop Moz Crawl From Prepending /blog/ on all our site urls that it crawls
Hello, At some time in the past our WP site had urls like this: www.oursite.com/blog/post-title-pretty-link The site has not used that url structure for quite some time, but Moz crawl is still hitting every post with /blog/prepended and as a result is generating thousands of 404s. When the /blog/ is removed from the url, then the urls work fine. Where are those old urls being stored and how can we update them? How do we address this issue? Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks!

Does "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt affect moz tools ability to fetch DA?
Just checked a website for Domain Authority using Moz' tool, however it returned 1 for DA, which should be unlikely. I have been trying to find the problem and found "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt. Could this affect Moz' tools ability to get the required data?

How do I disallow crawl on a directory when it's a prefix to my site's URL?
I am trying to disallow our media repository (hosted elsewhere, but appears as a directory on our site) from being crawled by robots but it is not a subdirectory of the site, it's a prefix. So I need to disallow: mediabank.mywebsite.org Not: mysite.org/mediabank What would I need to put in my robots.txt and/or the other host's robots.txt to make this happen? Thanks!

Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors? Anything to worry about?
Under site crawl, Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors. The URLs are: http://support@ihasco.co.uk and http://enquiries@ihasco.co.uk Once clicked, they redirect to our homepage. Anyone else ever had this? Is it anything to worry about? I don't think it is, but would be good to get some reassurance.

Why can't On-Page Grader grade any Hilton hotel URLs?
I'm receiving the "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible." for every hilton hotel webpage I check when using On-Page Grader. Is Hilton blocking Moz's On-Page Grader or is something else going on? Here are a few "inaccessible URLs" from different brands within Hilton's portfolio: http://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/new-york/doubletree-by-hilton-hotel-metropolitan-new-york-city-NYCDTDT/index.html http://home2suites3.hilton.com/en/hotels/tennessee/home2-suites-by-hilton-nashville-vanderbilt-tn-BNAHTHT/index.html http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/florida/hampton-inn-and-suites-destin-DSINEHX/index.html http://hiltongardeninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/georgia/hilton-garden-inn-atlanta-downtown-ATLDOGI/index.html Thanks in advance.

How do you block keywords in On-Page Grader for certain URLs?
For the on-page grader, I rank A's for 9 keywords. I struggle with F's I have because it is searching keywords on pages that are not supposed to be searched. For example, I have a "bracelets" page, so I didn't optimize it for "rings", so I got an F. However, it graded me an A for the bracelets keyword, which is great. To be sure I am correct, each page should have it's own keyword, such as bracelet. So why is the grader checking my "Bracelets" page for "Rings"? Maybe there is something I am missing. Just trying to see why this happening.
