Top 25 SEO Blogs

By Daniel 238 Comments Reading Time: 2 minutes

I love rankings, what can I say. After I published the “Top 25 Blogs About Blogging” list I thought that someone would replicate it for the SEO sphere. But no one did, so here we go again.

This list was made using pretty much the same algorithm (only small modifications were made, mainly due to the fact that SEO blogs are more popular). Once again the list should be useful because it is based on objective factors. There are many “Top SEO Blogs” lists around the web, but most of them are based on the preferences of the author.

The Top 25 SEO Blogs list, instead, ranks the blogs according to their Google Pagerank, Alexa rank, number of Bloglines subscribers and Technorati authority. Each factor has a score from 0 to 10, and the maximum score for each blog is 40. Details about the algorithm can be found below the table.

Blogs considered: the list considers only blogs that have a high percentage of SEO-related content. Topics might range from SEO news coverage to general SEO discussion and link building.

Google Pagerank (0 to 10): the actual Pagerank was used on the algorithm.

Alexa Rank (0 to 10): Ranges were determined based on the Alexa Rank (i.e., 100k and up, 80k-100k, 60k-80k, 40k-60k) and each range was assigned a number (1 to 10).

Bloglines Subscribers (0 to 10): Subscriber ranges were determined (i.e., 1-50, 50-100, 100-150, 150-300) and each range was assigned a number (1 to 10).

Technorati Authority (0 to 10): Ranges were determined based on Technorati’s Authority rank (i.e., 1-125, 125-250, 500-750,750-1000) and each range was assigned a number (1 to 10).

    Nobody writes comments for search engines, only proxies scrape comment to feed search engines.

    1- most seo experts consider alexa is out of the game.
    it is better to use rss subscribers than this tool.
    2- it is a top seo blog in English not worldwide, I think that there are many others language.

    Whats really interesting, though, is that not all of those SEO blogs on the list have nofollow implemented on their comments.

    Great list! Obviously there are a lot more than 25 SEO blogs, so perhaps I should create “top 100 list”?

    I think there’s no A list blog that deals strictly with SEO anymore.

    Yeah I am aware. It is very difficult to cut a clear line on what is an SEO blog and what is not, so I just considered blogs that have a “great” part of their content related to SEO (that is very flexible, I know :)).

    As Alex reminded me in my own blog, and as Lee said about his own, SEOPedia is not “just” about SEO too.

    I’m married to the Marketing Pilgrim. We have fascinating conversations about blogging over dinner and wine. Is it healthy for our marriage for me to have blog envy over my husband’s blog?

    Yeah in fact I thought about including the SERPs as a ranking factor :). Perhaps I will add it on the next update.

    Wouldn’t it have been easier to just do a google (msn, yahoo) search on ‘seo’ or ‘seo blog’? Wouldn’t that tell you who the best seo is?

    Yeah lately Pronet is focusing more on social media, but they have a lot of SEO content on the archives.

    Great work Daniel. I thought Pronet Advertising was much about Social Networking as I found most articles on that. All interesting blogs and must read blogs.
