A few blogs you need to be reading in 2010

Posted by Jeremy L. Knauff

SEO Book

When it comes to SEO, Aaron Wall is pretty much at the top of the food chain and he proves it repeatedly at SEO Book. It’s quite a refreshing read that gets right to the point with tested and proven facts instead of the fluff and theory that you hear from most “so called” SEO experts.

Digging into WordPress

If you use WordPress as a blog or a content management system, then you need to read Digging into WordPress, a collaborative project by Chris Coyier and Jeff Starr, loaded with great tips on getting the most out of your WordPress powered website.

The Launch Coach

Dave Navarro is a rapidly-rising star and a proven expert at getting more people to buy what you’re selling, and on his blog, The Launch Coach, he shares tons of great information on how to create and sell your own products.

DazzlinDonna

At DazzlinDonna, a blog by Donna Fontenot, who is equal parts web developer, Internet marketer, and web geek, you’ll find ideas that you can put to use today whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been making a living online since before the dot-com bubble burst.

AskShane.org

Even though he’s been on an extended hiatus while working on some big hush hush projects, you can always find lots of solid advice on just about every aspect of building a long-term business online at AskShane.org.

The Smart Passive Income Blog

Pat Flynn is pretty cool for a band geek, and at The Smart Passive Income Blog, he offers a mix of sound business advice, marketing tips and motivation to help you make money online. While you’re there, be sure to congratulate him on his brand-new baby boy!

SEO Black Hat

Being in business means taking calculated risks, and SEO Black Hat helps you do that. Whether you decide to take the pristine “white hat” approach, the allegedly evil “black hat” approach or something in between, you’ll have more options if you know the pros and cons of each.

Are there any noteworthy blogs out there that you think should be added to this list? Post a comment and let us know.

   What’s wrong with being in the band? Ok, don’t answer that question. Anyways, thanks for mentioning my blog here in your list – it’s truly an honor. Cheers, and all the best to you in 2010!

   Shane is an excellent resource who has far more to offer than a single blog. I absolutely second his vote!

   Best of luck in 2010 to you too Pat! And congrats again on the new baby…I have one tip for you – get some sleep at every chance you can. You have 3-4 months of sleepless nights ahead of you ;)

   Peter, I agree. Aside from valuable info, he’s also a great person.
