Recently both my own SEO Blog SEO 2.0 and the SEOptimise blog have been featured in a few “top SEO blogs” lists. While I was of course delighted to get so much appreciation for publication I write for I also noticed that some of the “best blogs” weren’t best at all while other really good blogs about SEO were missing. Thus I decided to compile a list of 30 great SEO blogs you might not know yet.
These blogs and the respective bloggers involved are often funny, intriguing and posting in-depth articles. Others are on point and stay on top of events or cover SEO in a manner everyone can understand.
OK, long story short below are the blogs I refer to. For each blog I have a post I recommend as an example of the respective writing skills.

Great post,

Thanks so much for including Blind Five Year Old on your list. It’s even more gratifying coming from someone in the field I really respect.
Thanks again and happy holidays.
Thanks for the mention here! Great to be next to a lot of talented writers – and nice job curating them all together!.

Hi there,
Really nice post highlighting some truly excellent blogs!
Another goody that I haev spent some time reading through is http://www.ponder.co.za.
It’s not solely dedicated to SEO but also touches on online marketing and the rest of the digital arena.
It’s always nice surprise when you get a notice in your email that your site has been pinged! What makes it even nicer is when you come across a page with your site listed! Yeahhh thank you so much. We’ve been working very hard in 2010 to make little waves. I’m glad to see people are listening. I have to admit the people you have on this list are A-mazing…Icing on this wonderful day. I hope 2011 will be a tsunami lol.
Hey Tad – many thanks for including my Vertical Leap blog post on here!
I was quite surprised at how many of these I’d read!
Really don’t know what to say Tad, except, Thanks! I knew people were stoppin’ by my lil’ echo-chamber (analytics is a dead give away) but it is truly humbling to be included in such a great list of SEO thought leaders and writers.
Thanks & Happy Holidays!
And for those of us “B” level SEO bloggers, this is a list to aim at being included on for next year, eh!
But thanks Tad….found a couple of new ones here!
