Traveling Mamas on the Nielsen Power Moms List

Other posts by MudslideMama

The Nielsen Power Moms list came out recently, showcasing the 50 top “mom bloggers” in terms of influence on the internet. In describing the list of influential sites, Nielsen Online research director Jessica Hogue said “moms seek the wisdom of their online counterparts as trusted advisors.” Well, imagine our delight (and surprise) to find Traveling Mamas on this Power Mom 50 list! We’re so proud to be recognized on the same list as our friends Travel Savvy Mom and Twitter Moms, not to mention power players like Dooce, BlogHer, and the NY Times parenting blog.

This Nielsen Online research of influential bloggers – headed by the same group that researches TV-viewing habits – ranked the Traveling Mamas as being a top “Mamaste.” This category reflects those who “stretch beyond their normal spheres to explore going green, travel, and spirituality.” Yay! The only downer in this unexpected recognition is that so many of our friends and equals aren’t on the list of “leading voices in the mom blogosphere.” Kelby Carr’s Type A Mom, for example, is a hugely influential site that absolutely deserved to be on the Nielsen Online’s Power Mom 50 list. In fact, Nielsen is taking recommendations for “vital voices” the company may have missed in its intial Power Mom 50 list; just email Jessica Hogue at jessica.hogue@nielsen.com to share your views.

    WOW. Well Done to all four of you ;-)

    I’m so impressed by what you’ve achieved in the past year. An inspiration to us all.

    Big hugs all round!

    Thanks, Jill. We think the designation is pretty cool, to say the least. :-)

    I emailed Jessica and my mail was deemed undeliverable. Anybody else have luck?

    And congrats for being one of the chosen!

    Mom Most Traveled!

    So funny. I was just over on your blog, leaving a comment (also Stumbled your super compilation of links of the Power Mom 50 – thanks!), but I think I now posted a comment twice. (Feel free to delete my second one!)

    I emailed Jessica earlier today and it has not been returned. (Yet, anyway).
