Top 100 SEO & Internet Marketing Blogs

There have been a number of blog ranking tables created in the past few months but they all use the hugely inaccurate and outdated Google PageRank as a method of measuring success.
This table simply uses Alexa Rank and Technorati Rank to calculate the popularity of each site. These are the two most accurate methods of determining the traffic and number of links to each blog and, while sometimes slightly inaccurate, are very good at measuring the relative popularity of blogs from the same industry.
The rankings will be updated every day and if you find a search engine marketing blog thats missing from this list please email me.
Finally a big thanks to the Big List of SEO Blogs which made up a large proportion of this list.

Are .Edu and .Gov Links Really Worth it

Every SEO forum since the dawn of time Google has been debating the power of high authority links such as .Edu or .Gov links.  There are literally dozens of articles out there in the great wide web and every few months a different debate begins on how much these links actually effect your rankings.

It’s a common belief in some SEO circles that a link from .Edu or .Gov site is the best type of link you can ever get in order to improve your rankings. This belief comes from the fact it is not easy to obtain control of these domains on the open market as you have to be an educational or government establishment.

So are Google actually giving more or less weighting to certain Top Level Domains (TLD’s) well yes they can, and do look at the case of co.cc domains, but in the case of .Gov or .Edu links they claim not to do so as Googler JohnMu stated:

In general, I would like to add that no, backlinks from .EDU domains generally do not get “additional credibility from Google.” Because of that, the whole topic of working especially hard to talk webmasters of these domains into linking to your sites seems a bit problematic…

Some in the world of SEO will scream conspiracy that Google don’t want to let out the secret recipe but then let’s look at these types of links from the proper angle. Google may actually be telling the truth their algorithm may not give these TLD’s a considerably higher weighting than a .com or .co.uk but it is all actually based on Pagerank. Remember that thing Larry Page invented which means links from web pages with lots of links themselves carry more value than those that don’t.


These types of web pages are often well linked to and many have been around for years. So what I am saying is that despite their “perceived” authority due to their offline status as an institue of learning it is actually the quality of the pages that are linking into these sites i.e. Corporate blue chip companies, Major hospitals or large news resources e.g. the Guardian, BBC that make them an authority online not the TLD.

How to get .Edu or .Gov Links?
With the right amount of time, hustle or money you can get a backlink on just about any site you want. Building relationships, investing in the right tools and good content will allow you to get these links easily.

From past experience I have used Broken Link Building on .Gov or .Edu sites, whereby you look for broken links on a resource and inform the webmaster to replace the link with a resource to your own content.

Outreach also works quite well in order to gain .edu links as most universities now provide their students and faculty with blogging platforms and sub domains so it is quite easy to email them relevant content to their blog or studies. If you really wanted to invest a significant amount of time and resources you could look for a piece of research they produced and reference it in a piece of your own content e.g. an info-graphic and its highly likely that you will obtain a link back as they will naturally want to share this with their peers.

Invite an academic to write an article on your blog or even come and speak to your workforce or at an industry conference you are running, chances are they will link to you as they wish to reference their engagements. As you can see you are only limited by your own imagination as to how you can obtain these types of links but by offering useful resources for Government or Academic webmasters to link to you will have a much higher success rate.

So What is their Value?
If you were to ask me what I look for in a link then, I value backlinks on the number of visitors, neigh, the number of pre-qualified visitors that the link can send me. What I mean by that is if I could get a few hundred visitors to my site from a back link, who are motivated to buy my product or subscribe to my mailing list, I would spend more time and money obtaining these links than just chasing links from Universities and Government sites.

So do Edu or Gov links help get you better rankings, yes but they are no better than any other well linked TLD, and remember after all SEO is not just about rankings!

11.  Software Submissions. Old school SEO tactic that works. Most software submission sites have backlink profiles like (PR8). Like CNET.com. There are many other software sites you can submit to like... FileDudes.com (PR5),DownLoadJunction.com (PR5), SoftAward.com (PR4), SoftTonic.com (PR6). You don't need to create an open source operating system to get your software (and link) on these directories. Most of these directory accept video game submissions.

ConceptFeedback.com (PR5), ABTests.com (PR5), BounceApp.com (PR5),SuggestionBox.com (PR4).

17.  The massive dofollow backlink list

18.  Easy EDU Links. How to tut. It’s commonly accepted knowledge that .EDU and .GOV backlinks are valued very highly when Google decides on your search rank position. The “trick” is finding blogs and forums on .EDU domains, where they can leave useful comments that link back to their sites. Here is a great Google query to find .EDU blogs. Google... site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment” -”you must be logged in”, site:.edu "your niche", site:.edu "your niche" + "resources", site.edu: "your niche" + "links", site.edu: "your niche" + "other sites".

19.  How to find CommentLuv enabled blog comments - AKA nofollow backlinks.

20.  Submit Your Site to Blog Aggregators. You can get a dofollow link on most blog aggregators for free. Just submit your site, add some code to a post to confirm you're the owner and wait for someone from the aggregator to stop by and take a look at your site. When they approve it you'll have your own page on the aggregator with a dofollow link to your site. Easy peasy. Here are some blog aggregators to submit to... Technorati.com (PR8), Alltop.com (PR7), Blogarama.com (PR6),Liquida.com (PR5)

21.  Guest post on another site is a great way to get a quality keyword ridden backlink.

22.  Be at ease when people steal your content instead of mad. Inter-site-link more within your articles and make these links absolute links. This way half the people that steal your content verbatim will also include these backlinks to your site. Good way to hedge your bets.

23.  Build a Blog Network. A high quality blog network is one of the best SEO investments you can make. You’re in the driver’s seat and can funnel massive amounts of link juice wherever you want. If your worried about Google finding out you can take the following precautions... Private whois information, different hosting plans (NOT different IPs…completely different hosting from different companies), different themes and designs, different permalink structures, different content management systems (Drupal, WordPress, Joomla etc.) Everything in moderation. If you don't go too crazy linking a hundred times in each of your blogs I would not worry about the extra precautions. A couple links here and there is plenty and is not going to deindex you.

24.  Interview someone in your niche. They’ll likely link to the interview and tweet about it because it makes them feel important.

25.  Create good flashy titles and headings. Doing so will promote others linking to your article - given it's good of course.

26.  See where the competition is placing their backlinks. Just look at the top 10 results for your keyword phrase and figure out where their back links come from?

27.  Get a back link by helping out reporters that are looking for experts in your field. http://www.helpareporter.com. Major international media outlets like MSNBC.com and The Huffington Post use HARO to find sources for their articles.

29.  Buy links on sites offering such. My site is one such example where you can buy a link. Or use texlinkbrokers.com.

30.  You can get a backlink from posting in Youtube video comments section.

31.  Find Guest Posting Gigs on Twitter. You can tap into the underutilized power of Twitter search to find sites that are posting guest posts on the reg.

"your nice" + guest post, "your niche" + guest author, "your niche" + write for us, "your niche" + guest article.

32.  Squidoo & Hubspot – make a page and link to yourself.

33.  Go crazy at all the social bookmarking sites.

34.  Set up an RSS Directory for you site.

35.  Go crazy and add links back to your sites in all the social media channels.

36.  Give testimonials whenever you buy a new product, service, membership, or anything else online, leave a testimonial. Testimonials will commonly have a link to your website within them to prove the testimonial is real. This will give you a free backlink if the company likes your testimonial and uses it on their website. Give testimonials even if you didn't buy the product. You should have a fair amount of knowledge about the product so you can write a good review of course. Companies big and small LOVE to show off their customer testimonials. When you do write one, make sure to tell them that they can put it on their homepage or a testimonial page. To show that you’re a real person they’ll often put a link to your site for you…without you even having to ask. When you see an authority site with testimonial links you could buy their product or service just to give a testimonial and get a link.

37.  Tap all your friends and acquaintances for backlinks. If they won't do it they're not your friend.

38.  Link bait - here are 20 link baiting ideas.

39.  Web 2.0 Profiles that allow you to create profiles and interact with others provide high PageRank, “do follow” links to the website listed in your profile. Examples include www.linkedin.com, www.flickr.com, www.twibs.com, and www.zoominfo.com.

40.  Article submissions at the likes of ezinearticles.com and etc with your link/info at the end of it.

41.  Get backlinks from Google itself.

42.  Submit to Audio Sharing Sites. These audio sharing sites are PR powerhouses and can move your site in the SERPs. Create a piece of audio (preferably music) and upload it to these sites, which give you a nice dofollow link in exchange: Examples are... Reverbnation.com (PR6), BandCamp.com (PR7), Sutros.com (PR5), MobyPicture.com (PR5)

43.  Buy Expired Domains at GoDaddy Auctions, SnapNames or NameJet. Buy a aged domain with quality links pointing to it. Then 301 redirect it to your new site. Apparently this technique is gold.

44.  Donate to Charity. There are A TON of dead broke PR6+ site owners that will gladly hand over a link in exchange for a few bucks. You can find some on your own by using these search strings... “donate to us”, “contributors page”, “sponsors page”, allintitle: “contributors”, allintitle: “sponsors”.

45.  Using Fiverr network, find a webmaster or other who is selling a contextual link on his site who has as high PR and many backlinks. Finding these is easy. Type these into Fiverr’s search field... “I will post your content”, “guest post on my”, “I will post your article”.

46.  Forum signatures. Most forums allow you to post a link to your site in the signature section.

47.  Test out the hundreds of Guestbook demos. You can add your backlink to each.

48.  Scoop It Get dozens of high PR links with a few minutes work. Scoop It is a site where people aggregate their favorite content around the web into a magazine format. Get people to post your site by using Scoop It's built in suggestion feature. Search for a high PR Scoop It page and hit "suggest". Send the person a quick message and let them know about your content.

49.  Infographics. Get a halfway decent infographic made from someone on Odesk or Elance for less than $75. Be creative, make something unique and then hire someone on the cheap to make it DIY-style via Piktochart. Submit it to infographic sharing sites, like these... Visual.ly (PR7), DailyInfoGraphic.com (PR5), AmazingInfoGraphics.com (PR4),OmgInfoGraphics.com (PR3). Then reach out to bloggers in your niche and offer them the infographic as a guest post.

50.  Resources link building. Using your niche search in Google using these search strings... "niche" + "resource page", "niche" + "resources", "niche" + "recommended sites", "niche" + "links". Now email them and just ask for a link.

Google and Twitter finally come at terms for search deal!
