Top goo blog links from December 2006
Advertisementgoo Rankings (forgive me publishing yet another goo Ranking!) published a summary of the top-linked sites from their blog service.
Since this is not a survey, there’s obviously no demographic information, instead it had been generated from looking at all the outgoing links from all the blog entries posted during the month of December.
| Rank | 日本語 | English | Links | Explanation |
| 1 | 男脳女脳診断 | Male brain/female brain diagnosis | 888 | This seems to be a Japanese version of the (famous?) Moir-Jessel Brain Sex test, but I can’t seem to find a link to a working English version |
| 2 | 父親たちの星条旗, 硫黄島からの手紙 | Flags of our Fathers, Letters from Iwojima | 544 | Links to the official home pages of these two films |

| 9 | 第57回 ＮＨＫ紅白歌合戦 | NHK’s 57th Red and White Song Contest | 266 | This traditional New Year’s Eve show will probably be a hot link this month too for all the wrong reasons (slightly NSFW) |

| 11 | Ｗｉｉ [ウィー] | Wii | 257 | I’m sure you’re all familiar with Nintendo’s Wii (that just doesn’t sound quite right!) You’ll also note that the PS3 doesn’t feature in this top 20 |
