What’s up Nation. If yall are anywhere near the Northeast part of the United States today you’re getting your first dose of summer…hot and muggy! Speaking of heat…looks like you, us, the Nation is continuting the climb the ranks for the urban blogosphere’s elite.

Back in March Yeti, editor, founder and all around good dude over at Wooohah! released his BPI ranker which listed the top 40 Urban Blogs on the Net. The BPI is a scientific formula derived by some technostat geeks that Yeti probably keeps chained up in the basement at his crib. It basically combines data from ten major research companies taking into account traffic, networking and links to determine its ranks and is more precise than even Alexa, Compete, Digg measurements and of course Technorati.

According to the most current calculation of the BPI we’ve jumped 10 spots and are now the #26 top urban blog on the net. I say this not to brag…but to show you how powerful your voice is hear as part of the Nation. We want this blog to be a reflection of us all. Always feel free to communicate with us, provide feedback and let us know how we can better facilitate in our quest to build a better Nation…a Highbrid Nation.

Lets not get it twisted folks…since the BPI premiered they’re have been a lot of imitators…this is by far the most extensive and well thought out measurement of blog strength and the one I advocate as the industry standard. More than anything this list should illustrate to corporate America the power of ALL Urban blogs across the blogosphere. As you can see working together is an essential element for success. Salute Yeti, now here’s the full list:
