I found out from BlogStorm (great new blog, by the way) that blogging just celebrated its 10th birthday. The BlogStorm post pointed to Mashable. Mashable asked bloggers to commemorate the event by listing your 10 favorite blogs. Here are my favorites.

SEO

SEO Book
In my opinion, Aaron Wall has the best SEO book on the planet. (Here’s our book review.) Aaron takes a holistic view about SEO on his blog. He often talks about less technical subjects that affect SEO like branding and finding a profitable niche.

SEOmoz
The staff at SEOmoz keeps up with the latest SEO developments. They do a great job of illustrating their posts with practical, hands-on examples. They have a quality SEO membership site. Also, they’ve developed a smart community, so you’ll see lots of good comments on their blog.

Tropical SEO
Don’t be fooled by the pink header. Andy Hagans knows what he’s talking about. This guy is the linkbait king. He’s hit Digg’s front page over 100 times with a variety of sites in different niches. He posts sporadically, but when he does, he gives a lot of value and/or entertainment.

Writing

Copyblogger
Most bloggers don’t quote traditional books. Brian Clark does… often. When a blogger quotes books from his industry instead of just other bloggers, you know they’re probably an expert.

Problogger
27,000 RSS readers don’t lie. Darren Rowse helps many people make money with their blog. He’s covers everything from adsense placement to the different types of blog posts.

Internet Marketing

Entrepreneur’s Journey
Yaro Starak gives great tips for running your online business. He also reviews internet products. I remember reading this blog over a year ago. Yaro wasn’t making any money then, but now his blog makes $4000 a month. His blog archives are gold if you want to learn how to build a money making site.

Income Blog
Anyone who owns the income.com domain knows how to make money. :) I like this blog because John Reese shares good macro level business principles. Also, he occasionally uses video, which is a nice change of pace from the average business blog.

John Chow
John Chow has been slapped by Google, Technorati, and Digg. Yet John has over 6000 RSS subscribers and made over $20,000 in the last two months. Not only that, he posts about cars and food. I guess having fun and being different from the rest can earn money.

General Marketing

Seth’s Blog
Seth Godin’s understands marketing. He popularized the buzzword remarkable. He’s known for creating distinctive phrases and words like ideavirus, permission marketing, purple cow, and small is the new big. He gives real-life examples to clearly teach his marketing principles. Google invited him to speak to their employees.

Social Media

ChrisG
Want to learn how to leverage social media? Reading this blog by Chris Garrett can definitely help you. Chris is a professional blogger. He started ChrisG in February. By March 9, he had over 1000 RSS subscribers. Don’t forget to get his free ebook by subscribing to his blog. Unlike other “guru” ebooks, his ebook actually helps.
