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.

I am confused how you count alexa in points view ??
Nice listing
This is right place to get information about seo tool and tips and tricks
Blogging a simple word …but many people are interested to do that they have passion about blogging which makes them to stay on the top …
Surely the top seo blogs should be rated purely on the SERPs?! What use is PR to an seo writer…?
One day, I’ll be in the list too. I am trying hard to earn name in SEO.
