List of Blogs I Check Daily

Here’s a list of very helpful blogs. These blogs have information that will help you be a better blogger right here, right now, today!

There are no fillers here. No animal by-products. Nothing about industry trends and other generic fluff that makes you feel hip, cool and smart but does nothing to DRIVE MORE TRAFFIC TO YOUR BLOG! Hello? In the end, I guess that’s what we all want, right? More Quality Traffic. People that are really interested in our stuff. People who might actually click on a high quality affiliate link once in a while to help support us and our blog.

Ok, so here’s my list so far. The whole point is to keep the list short so that you can check their stuff out every day. Spend 15-20 minutes a day checking out one post per day in these blogs. Apply what they are teaching and watch your numbers soar!

Feel free to share your comments about this page or about any link on this page.

You can suggest a link, but please know that if I don’t think the blog belongs on this page, I will have to delete without explanation. I will keep your comment, but just edit out the suggested link. I just don’t have time to explain my reasoning for every deleted link — sorry. I need that time to keep trying to create quality video tutorials and posts for you. So I apologize in advance if you suggested a link and I just had to delete it without explanation.

Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Thank you very much, Jim. I’m honored to be on this list! I’d also add another must-read site: Social Media Examiner – http://socialmediaexaminer.com Always the most up to date info for social marketing. Maybe not directly related to driving traffic, but definitely some of the best content around.

Ana,

Well, actually, it’s your blog content that I really like! (LOL!) Ok, I just checked out those two sites you suggested, and they both definitely make the cut! Great recommendations. Of course, I would expect nothing less from you!

Thanks for the recs and the consistently great content!

Take Care,

Hello Jim, Thank you for your list. I notice that you are connected to Denise Wakeman; I have been following her blogs and subscribing to her posts for over a year and she has taught me quite a bit. I will definitely connect with the bloggers on your list – you haven’t steered me wrong.

Awesome Jim! I’m honoured to be on your list.

I don’t know all of the blogs up there (although I’m a regular visitor to some) so I’ll check out those that are new to me.

One I’d like to nominate for the list is http://basicblogtips.com/ – loads of cool stuff in there…

Thanks for putting this resource together mate, it’s true that gathering the best bits of info from these kinds of blogs and implementing them can have a massive impact on our own blogs.

Cheers!

Thanks for posting this – I’m new to blogging and really need traffic (and don’t have the funds to pay someone!). There are so many options available it is overwhelming, so I’m happy to see a recommended “short list”.

jupiterjim November 30, 2011 at 3:34 AM: LouAnn,
I can vouch for most of the blogs on this list! LOL I created the list of really useful, helpful blogs and then the people on that list that I respect recommended some blogs so I added a few more after inspecting them. When it comes to marketing focus on one thing at a time like Facebook, then move on to Twitter or LinkedIn. You don’t need to become an expert at everything at once!

Great Info I’m in the same position as LouAnn and have no money to pay somebody to help. With this info and ideas I will make a success. Thanks for sharing.

jupiterjim November 30, 2011 at 3:36 AM: Ok, “DoppieWP”!
Look at the advice I gave LouAnn. Just master a little bit at a time. No cost marketing takes time but I think your probably learn more in the end than if you just start out spending lots of money on advertising! Be consistent and Never Quit! Best of Luck!

From your list I already am acquainted with Ana’s from TrafficGenerationCafe. Her content is indeed top-notch and I learned a lot from her blog. There was another lady who’s blog I liked, I just stumbled upon it by chance but for the life of me I could no longer remember her site and I forgot to bookmark it.

Thank you for including me in on this list. I read a lot of blogs every week… but I do not have a set list since I know so many people…rofl. That list I have will have to be categorized…

Just a little piece of news: Soon you will also see my articles on SocialMediaExaminer.com as well. Also, Ana and I staff at FamousBloggers (you do not have that listed) too.

Very exciting news bout you at http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/ !!! Nile when you say you and Ana “staff” over at http://www.famousbloggers.net/ , you mean you and Ana write articles for Hesham’s blog or something more than that. Yes, I’ll have to take another look at his blog and see if I should include it. I love the Thesis Theme skins he has created and he has provided great customer service! Yes, you do know many bloggers and by posting on SocialMediaExaminer.com , you will become even more famous! Thanks for commenting!

Take Care,

Jupiter Jim
