12 Awesome SEO & Internet Marketing Resources from my Blog Readers

SEO 2.0 is for real. I practice what I preach. It's not just talk to make more people follow me. I really visit every blog or site that my readers and commentators enter in the "website" input when they comment. I also really look out for great content on their blogs and sites and when I like it

I +1 it
share it
link to it.

It's not just something I have written about in my 101 ways to succeed at blogging flagship post. It's not just a tactic or technique.

In late 2010 I was a bit disappointed. Many people considered this blog just another "dofollow link". So I moderated comments even more strictly this year to separate the wheat from the chaff. Now I can reap the rewards it seems.

There are so many great bloggers reading SEO 2.0 and even commenting here or pinging me that I have to share their awesome resources.

I'm really impressed. These are bloggers nobody has ever heard of and who have probably just a few readers each but they deserve lots of them. I hope this article helps to grow their audience.

These 12 awesome posts are about SEO and adjacent Internet marketing topics, I haven't even included my offtopic readers. I'm proud of you people, you are really getting it. You are doing it right. I see a bright future for all of the below mentioned or rather linked bloggers:

I think I got used too much to reading the same sources over and over. After a while you just visit the same few sites. You lose out on the myriad of great bloggers who haven't yet been discovered by everybody else but who nonetheless contribute really valuable resources for the SEO industry and beyond. I will be more open minded in future again.

Thanks Ted for mentioning my blog. I have been more busy in guest posting for other blogs that I had stopped concentrating on my own. But this motivates me to write more useful posts for my blog.

You’re welcome Akesh ;-) Indeed it’s sometimes difficult to find the balance between blogging for yourself and elsewhere. I experience the same issue for years by now!

Hey Tadeusz,
Yeah, I am all for sharing link-love with people, and so I am very generous in my blog posts. I had thought about allowing “dofollow” blog comments, but like you said:

Many people considered this blog just another “dofollow link”.

And so I figured it wasn’t the best option for my blog. But, I’ve been reading yours for awhile and I think you’ve done a great job moderating them.

But it looks like I’ll have to start commenting so I can shoot for your “Awesome Post List” next time… :)

Hey Wes,

I’ve read your blog as well already a few times. I may add one of your posts to this list but “13 resources” sound a bit weird. Maybe we have to wait for another piece of great content from another reader :-)

Tad – So good to see you pratice what you preach! I found myself getting in the same “rut” you described above. This has inspired me to branch out and seek out new and good bloggers!

Also – Thanks for reading and commenting on my BLOG. I really appreciate it!
Tadeusz Szewczyk November 17, 2011 at 13:23 ·

Hey Mike, you’re welcome. Also I would read and comment even more often but sometimes your small white type on black background is too hard to read for my strained eyes.

I think I could include your post on how to measures SEO ROI in this list btw. Or do you have a better suggestion?

Thanks for the mention, Tadeusz!
And I too am a victim of the blog reading rut, mostly due to lack of time. So thanks for sharing some more cool stuff. Yours is one of the few blogs I do regularly read and look how long it took me to get back here even when you wrote about one of my favorite topics – me!

If someone thinks that dofollow blog authors will just allow you to post your website link, it’s just so stupid!why would I want anyone’s link on my blog,with the added fact that my page rank would be shared withy that link.Your blog is good and I will be coming back just like other seo blog I regularly follow.
