16% of A-list Blogs Are Life Blogs

As part of our ongoing analysis of the Ads On Blogs 500 we have compiled a list of the most popular topics.

I wonder whether this list will look the same in say 2 years? I doubt it. It's my belief that the Weblogs AOL deal may have signalled the start of a seismic shift towards commercially driven blog networks and a decline in A-list life blogs.

Does this mean the beginning of the of the end for A-list life blogs? Not at all. But it might be the end of the beginning.
