I have been meaning to compile an ordered list of blogs that I am most likely to read in more detail. By that I mean, blogs I read in my RSS reader (Bloglines) that I am most likely to click through, from the RSS reader, to the blog itself to read. Rand pushed me to write this based on his ranked list. Here is the ordered list of blogs I am most likely to click-through on.
I list all the blogs I read currently in my link farm section of this site. I have pulled out the 76 SEM blogs in the current list. This is an ordered list of which blogs I am most likely to click over to from my RSS reader (this is not based on actual metrics, since I don't have those numbers, would be cool to have that Bloglines, wink wink): Oh, of course, I left Search Engine Roundtable off the list, and I probably should of left Search Engine Watch off the list, either way, here it is.

Interesting list!

Hmm... you just added another hour to my daily bloglines recon! Nice list.

Nice compilation. Check my own blog in case u are interested in french SEO stuff ;)

Nice list. My SEO blog opened for biz just prior to this year's SES San Jose. Reading through some of the above blogs is going to keep me busy ...
Posted by: Eric Enge | August 16, 2006 12:00 PM
Barry, I saw you a half dozen times at SES (several in the press room) but failed to introduce myself (we were both always typing like madmen). I was there covering the show for WebProNews and compiled all that coverage on my own blog at RealitySEO. My favorite SEO blog is SERoundtable without a doubt. You do a great job and deserve that big Marketing Sherpa "Best Blog 2006" win. Congrats! Drop by and take a look at RealitySEO once in awhile. I awarded you top honors as best SEO blog there on March 8 - before Marketing Sherpa. ;-)

Thanks Mike, I have added your blog to my reader.
Your comments are much appreciate.
Next time say hello please. :)

Great list! I thought I read a lot of blogs.
Is there any way that you could expand this to include the top 500 SEO Blogs so that I might have a better chance of showing up on the radar? ;^)
Posted by: Hawaii SEO | August 16, 2006 8:57 PM
Great post. I plan on visiting everyone on the list that are new to me. As a newer player in this marketplace I love the info!
Posted by: Imnotadoctor | August 17, 2006 3:34 PM
Thank you Barry, for including my blog. It's an honor to be in the company of so many good people.
This new blog of yours is coming along quite nicely!
Posted by: Kim Krause Berg (cre8pc) | August 17, 2006 4:07 PM
I find your ranking better than Rand's, because it includes SEOMoz.
Hopefully, I'll have City SEO making these lists sometime soon :).

It's so hard to put all the 'good' blogs on one list. With so many niches related to SEO and Online marketing it makes it difficult to sort and rank the very best ones. I noticed on my own list I left many out that are a good read. Seems like it is the same with Rand's and yours.
Either way, thanks for another great list of search engine, SEO, Online marketing and linking blogs!
Check out mine at: Search Engine Feeds

I will throw my newly formed blog into the mix:

While the blog is relatively new, I have been in the Internet space from the beginning, and recently left the comforts of full-time employ to give the consulting gig a try "full-time". Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks for the mention, Barry. My first time in a top ten list!
Posted by: Steve Bryant | August 21, 2006 12:27 PM
Hey great list,
Wouldn't mine throwing mine into the list if you've never heard of it :)
Posted by: Eli | August 22, 2006 5:40 PM
How do you read all those blog? I mean even if you speed 5 minute per blog, you will have to spend 6 hours per day for all these reading.
And 5 minutes is not even long enough for you to type the url and talk a good peek at the details of those blog.

There is no way I spend close to 5 minutes per blog.
>> And 5 minutes is not even long enough for you to type the url and talk a good peek at the details of those blog.
York, did you hear of RSS? That is the only way I can possibly scan all them each day.
