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http://thinktraffic.net/how-to-find-an-unpublished-rss-subscriber-count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

I can't find multiple titles
Hello, Moz showed a lot of multiple titles on our website but, when I go to fix them, there isn't any multiple titles. I was wondering if anyone knew where these issues could be coming from? Many thanks, Olivia

4XX client error with email address in URL
I have an unusual situation I have never seen before and I did not set up the server for this client. The 4XX error is a string of about 74 URLs similar to this: http://www.websitename.com/about-us/[email protected] I will be contacting the server host as well to troubleshoot this issue. Any ideas? Thanks

Site URL is https but keep getting and error that homepage (http://www.flogas.co.uk/) can not be accessed. I set up a second campaign to alter the target url to the newer https://www.flogas.co.uk/ version but still getting the same error! What can I do? I want to use Moz for everything rather than continuing to use a separate auditing tool!

Moz is finding phantom pages
I suddenly have 4xx errors in my crawl diagnostics because pages with “/%3C/div” added to the end of the URL that are linked from the normal page can't be found. I didn't create the pages, and they don't exist, but Moz thinks that they do. I went back through to see if any changes in WordPress, theme or plugins versions might be the cause, but this is the only site that I have this issue, so I don't think that is it. Does anyone have an idea what causes this?

Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible?
Hi, I am trying to grade some pages and keywords using the "On-page grader" tool but for each URL that I try, the tool returns me a "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible". The thing is that I have already used previously and without any problem some of these URLs. In fact, I have just realized that, while the same URL (for example: www.lacasadelaaldea.com) works in the "On-page optimization tool", it doesn't in the "On-page grader" right now. I have looked if someone could have experienced the same issue and I have found some other threads talking about it... so I have checked with my hosting provider that there is no firewall or any other thing causing this problem but they can't find anything. How do you make the call to the server? What could be happening? Thanks in advance, Juan

"WWW." versus Non - "www."
Our web developer recently changed our preferred domain from "www.thinkbiglearnsmart.com" to "thinkbiglearnsmart.com" so when I check the authority of the "www." it is higher than the "thinkbiglearnsmart.com." do you have any insight onto if we should just make our preferred URL "www." because that's how it was for years? Is there a way just to merge the two back together so it is not sort of having different information for the same site? Thank you!
