Nielsen Online Top 50 Power Mamas
Have you heard of the Top 50 Power Mamas list, compiled by Nielsen Online?
Power Moms are those who are *plugged in* online, using social media as a part of their daily lives, which gives them a wide circle of influence.
You might want to check out the list; many women who made the list were surprised to be included!
And FYI, it took a long time to google all of these blog names, find the URL, and link it! So you better enjoy this blog buffet.
These categories were created by Nielsen Online:
Savvy Spenders (mom bloggers who share money saving tips, coupons, freebies and other deals)
Deal Seeking Mom
5 Dollar Dinners
Common Sense With Money
Freebies 4 Mom
Money Saving Mom
Coupon Mom
Mom Approved (mom bloggers who trial, sample, and review products)
Jolly Mom
From Dates to Diapers
Design Mom
Two of a Kind Working on a Full House
Go Graham Go
Barefoot Mommy
Mommy Mandy
An Ordinary Life
Look What Mom Found
Mom Start
My Sentiment Exactlee
The Dirty Shirt
Robyn’s Online World
Cutie Booty Cakes
3 Baby Chicks
Queen Bees (mom bloggers who anchor their writing around parenting, nesting, decor, and food)
The Pioneer Woman
Make and Takes
Busy Mom
We Are That Family
Crazy Adventures in Parenting
A Cowboy’s Wife
Musings of a Housewife

Traveling Mamas
Green and Clean Mom
Mormon Mommy Wars
Travel Savvy Mom
Organic Mania
More than Words
Mom of Faith
Happy Healthy Hip
“The Power Pack”
Some momfluentials pack too much of a punch to be categorized. These women create powerful mom networks; speak around the world on the dynamic digital world of mom; and have legions hanging on their every word –via TV, magazines, podcast, blog or tweet.
Heather Armstrong, Maria Bailey, Lisa Belkin, Alice Bradley, Daphne Brogdon, Amy Clark, Stacy Debroff, Asha Dornfest, Jessica Gottlieb, Christine Koh, Jenny Lawson, Dana Loesch, Audrey McClelland, Wendy Piersall, Mindy Roberts, and Jessica Smith.
Honestly I am only familiar with a few of these “Power Pack” moms, but I am definitely going to be checking out their blogs and studying their amazingness!
Congrats to the bloggers who were deemed Power Mamas! What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than as a Power Mama? I hope your children treat you as such!
Also I feel that some great blogs were left off of this list! What about you? Who do you think was overlooked? Let me know in your comment and I will email the forgotten ones to the PR contact at Neilsen Online.

Uh, Mom Most Traveled, of course!
10 May 2009, 2:35 am
This is a really interesting list. I had no idea about it until I saw it on the website yesterday
10 May 2009, 3:10 am
Where are you on this list? I guess there’s not a category for super-talented, funny, traveling, green blogging mamas!
Happy Mother’s Day Jojo and Dee Dee’s mom!

Okay Naomi and Kathleen, while flattery will get you everywhere, some of the blogs that I would like to see on this list are Five Minutes for Mom, Baby Cheapskate, Blog Coach could be sort of on the “tech” list…many others.
Maybe fifty isn’t enough! I guess the hard part about making a list like this is that someone has to get left out.
On there other hand, there are a bagillion blogs out there and not ALL of them are good.
Oh, oh and http://zrecommends.com/ ! They really stepped up during the BPA scare and did their own research in order to make a “safe list” available to parents.
And DK Mommy Spot? She always has great “green” product reviews and advice.
10 May 2009, 1:50 pm
I agree…where is 5 Minutes For Mom and Mom Dot?
And MMT? *sucking up in hopes of winning the soda machine*

Nice List! Way too short!
Toddler Craft! http://www.toddlercraft.net would be a great addition. @toddlercraft @freebietrader

Thank you for the list linked up! I definitely wanted to check some out listed I hadn’t heard of before. It is such an honor to me among those listed!
I wanted to point out that, as I scrolled over some of them, I noticed double “http://”’s listed for some.
I will see about the 2 you couldn’t find, as I’d love to visit them, too
Thanks again

11 May 2009, 2:21 am
I don’t know what to say. I don’t see my name anywhere. Or yours. Actually, I see very few of the blogs I read and I read the best.

Wow. Thanks for compiling. Frankly, I wish Nielsen had compiled this all-in-one-place list (with links) themselves. Maybe next time — when they come out w/ the Power Mom 100 list (since there are so many amazing, influential blogs that were left off).
Again, thanks for the shout out!

Only Nielsen knows the truth, but I linked the More Than Words that you guys suggested, and the 3 baby chicks blog too. Thanks for finding those!
11 May 2009, 6:03 am
Thank you so much for putting this list (with links) together!
11 May 2009, 1:17 pm
Thanks for the list….some I read and others I’ve not heard of. But will defiantly check them out and I would recommend the ones the ladies above have too.
11 May 2009, 2:18 pm
A little surprised to see Amalah left off.
11 May 2009, 2:42 pm
I think there are a few left out for sure, 5mins4mom definitely - MMT should be in the Mamastes category. But I know that it is top 50, and not everyone will agree on what should be in the top 50. Otherwise it would have to turn into the Top 89482942, right?

[...] Besides just being one of the 50 Power Moms I consider myself a Web 3.0 Mom balancing it all and trying to make a difference. I’m like most mom bloggers, learning as I go and staying ahead of the curve. I’m juggling the kids, t-ball, cleaning the house, answering a voice mail and twittering while waiting for my son’s preschool to end. Reading and taking notes on my Kindle2 and adding a new Facebook friend all while stirring the homemade spaghetti sauce. Living outside of my comfort zone and motivating others to do the same by getting dirty and planting my own garden with the kids. Figuring out how to compost and live green and buy organic on a budget - something I feel most moms are doing. Now they’re online talking, sharing and communicating - the same as they have always done and really I feel like I’m just like the rest of the pact and want to thank Nielsen online for including me but also for the all the online moms that make such a difference in my life. The Nielsen Complete Power List is available via PowerPoint but here’s a complete list of links compiled by Mom Most Traveled: [...]

I am amazed at your post. I was shocked to be on the list and shocked that they didn’t list the links themselves.
I was hoping there wasn’t someone else out there that calls themself momstart

Hi there!!! My friend brought it to my attention that I may be on the 50 power list…but I’m so confused??? I’m just curious how you knew it was mine and not the other More Than Words??? LOL..of course, I am ecstatic if it is me, but I want to be sure.
15 May 2009, 4:08 am
Okay..I figured it out..lol!!
It is me!! Oh my gosh! I looked at the power point list on their website, and they have a copy of my header under that category!!!!
18 May 2009, 11:56 am
Wow. I just came across this post and wanted to say thank you for all that linky hard work!
So many comments mentioned that too many great blogs were left off. And I agree. Maybe next year they’ll name more than 50, there are just SO many great blogs out there worth mentioning. I frankly have no idea how I’m at that list. I wish I understood exactly how it works, but I’ve made no time to research it
Thank you for doing this post!
