UrbanMinistry.org presents its list of the most popular Urban Ministry and Social Justice speakers, websites, and blogs of 2008. The statistics cover UrbanMinistry.org downloads, podcast downloads, and YouTube views for speakers as well as content provided by CCDA, AGRM, Kingdomworks, and Compassionworks. Christian website rankings are based on Alexa ranking, which is the most popular public website ranking tool. Blog statistics were compiled using Technorati authority.

The goal of these statistics is to show the most popular urban ministry speakers, websites and blogs for 2008. The statistics cover UrbanMinistry.org downloads, iTunes downloads and YouTube views only, but only includes the content we are aware of.  The content for the audio, video and podcasts was provided by CCDA, AGRM, Kingdomworks, Compassionworks and individual speakers, and the content was syndicated for free by  UrbanMinistry.org. UrbanMinistry.org syndication generally increases traffic for most speakers and organizations by a 2 to 10 times increase.  If you are a national speaker or organization and want your content syndicated by UrbanMinistry.org for free, please contact info@techmission.org.  Generally all you need to do is to mailing us your CD’s, tapes, VHS or DVDs and we will do the rest.
