Top 10 Web Site Optimization Blogs

By Wendy Boswell, About.com

There are a lot of great Web site optimization blogs out there, and these are just a few that I read, or try to read, anyway, on a regular basis. These blogs cover a lot: anything from hardcore technical search engine optimization discussions to search engine news to the lighter side of Web site optimization. Suggest more blogs in the forums.

1. Web Site Optimization Blog #1: Search Engine Roundtable

I don't think there's ever been a time I've come to the Search Engine Roundtable and not learned something new. Keep up with the latest Web site optimization news and techniques, check out what's being discussed in the best SEO forums around the Web, or learn more about making your site search engine friendly. An amazing resource.

2. Web Site Optimization Blog #2: Search Engine Watch Blog

Consistently updated free Web site optimization information, tips, news, and opinions; as well as the latest search engine and directory news and information. I especially appreciate the writing style at Search Engine Watch, which presents somewhat complicated information in a very accessible, non-threatening sort of way; in other words, a succint lack of techno-speak. Lots of good linked Web site optimization resources as well.

3. Web Site Optimization Blog #3: Threadwatch

Written in a blog-like style, Threadwatch is a site I visit throughout the day to keep on top of breaking news and developments in the world of Web search and Web site optimization. Plus, I love the frank style of the blog's authors: they don't take themselves too seriously.

4. Web Site Optimization Blog #4: Stuntdubl

One of the things I like best about Stuntdubl is that there's so much good information here that's completely practical; in other words, you can actually implement it with your own sites. Be sure to check out the roundup of Stuntdubl's Best Posts to really get a feel of what the site is all about.

5. Web Site Optimization Blog #5: Jim Boyken's Internet Marketing Blog

Get frequently updated Web site optimization information from Jim Boyken, one of the top marketing specialists out there today. He's always got something new and interesting to read about.

6. Web Site Optimization Blog #6: Seth Godin's Blog

Seth Godin's blog about marketing. Most of his posts give me lots of food for thought, and his All Marketers are Liars blog is worth a read too.

7. Web Site Optimization Blog #7: SEOmoz

I'll let this blog speak for itself: "Free, open & content-rich. SEOmoz is a search engine optimization resource created to benefit the entire SEO community. Every tool, service & article provided is absolutely free to all users." I have quite a few articles from SEOmoz saved permanently in my Bloglines subscriptions.

8. Web Site Optimization Blog #8: Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO

I had to add this to my revised list of favorite SEO blogs; Matt's blog has only been around for a few short months but already I've gotten a lot of good information regarding Google search engine optimization and insider info (Matt works for Google).

9. Web Site Optimization Blog #9: JenSense-Making Sense of Contextual Advertising

The JenSense blog contains an amazing array of Web site optimization and search engine resources and information. Packed full of SEO news, musings, opinions, rants, and technical discussions.

10. Web Site Optimization Blog #10: SEOBook.com

Focuses on search engines, search engine optimization tips, and search engine news. Lots of good, solid commentary about the world of search engines and SEO, plus excellent archived and current articles. You could spend a lot of time at this blog and not exhaust all it has to offer.

What Are Your Favorite SEO Blogs?

These are among my favorite search engine optimization blogs, but I would love to hear from you, the reader, as to what SEO blogs you read on a regular basis. What blogs have helped you learn more about the world of Web site optimization? Share in the Web Search and SEO forums.
