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

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http://thinktraffic.net/how-to-find-an-unpublished-rss-subscriber-count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

What does "Optimal Use of Keywords in Header Tags" really mean?
I get this explanation on the grader: Although using targeted keywords in H1 tags on your page does not directly correlate to high rankings, it does appear to provide some slight value. It's also considered a best practice for accessibility and helps potential visitors determine your page's content, so we recommend it. Over-using keywords, however, can be perceived as keyword stuffing (a form of search engine spam) and can negatively impact rankings, so use keywords in H1 tags two or fewer times. To adhere to best practices in Google News and Bing News, headlines should contain the relevant keyword target and be treated with the same importance as title tags. But I have the keyword in an H1 tag, only once. So why am getting this message on the grader? The URL is https://www.armsecuritysystems.com/business-security-systems/ The keyword is "business security systems" Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

How to find a list of pages with missing H1 tags
An external SEO/PPC agency did an audit of our site a little while back and said that over 10% of our pages were missing an H1 tag. I am trying to find a way to gather a full list of these in order for our web company to fix. I downloaded the Crawl Test report thinking it would include info on tags in there but it doesn't seem to. Is there a different tool I can use that will get me this information?

Meta Robots "Index, Follow"
In my MozBar under "General Attributes" it says "index, follow" next to Meta Roberts for one of our client's websites. I've never seen "index, follow" before. I've seen it say "not found." What does index, follow mean and is that a bad thing? I know the reason should be obvious but this site has had a lot of problems and I'm wondering if this is related.

Ajax #! URL support?
Hi Moz, My site is currently following the convention outlined here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/174992?hl=en Basically since pages are generated via Ajax we are setup to direct bots that replace the #! in a url with ?escaped_fragment to cached versions of the ajax generated content. For example, if the bot sees this url: http://www.discoverymap.com/#!/California/Map-of-Carmel/73 it will replace it will instead access the page: http://www.discoverymap.com/?escaped_fragment=/California/Map-of-Carmel/73 In which case my server serves the cached html instead of the live page. This is all per Googles direction and is indexing fine. However the MOZ bot does not do this. It seems like a fairly straight-forward feature to support. Rather than ignoring the hash, you look to see if it is a #! and then try to spider the url replaced with ?escaped_fragment. Our server does the rest. If this is something MOZ plans on supporting in the future I would love to know. If there is other information that would be great. Also, pushstate is not practical for everyone due to limited browser support, etc. Thanks, Dustin Updates: I am editing my question because it won't let me respond to my own question. It says I need to sign up for MOZ analytics. I was signed up for Moz Analytics?! Now I am not? I responded to my invitation weeks ago? Anyway, you are misunderstanding how this process works. There is no site-map involved. The bot reads this URL on the page: http://www.discoverymap.com/#!/California/Map-of-Carmel/73 And when it is ready to spider the page for content it, it spider's this URL instead: http://www.discoverymap.com/?escaped_fragment=/California/Map-of-Carmel/73 The server does the rest, it is simply telling Roger to recognize the #! format and replace it with ?escaped_fragment Though I obviously do not know how Roger is coded but it is a simple string replacement. Thanks.
