Great resource list Michael. If you get a chance, can you please do a review and top ten list for Ebooks about Marketing. I love blogs, but find that the information is very scattered at times, and love the simplicity that an Ebook offers for researching and learning.

Thanks much for the list. Reading through each of the sites will be a time-consuming process - is there one in particular that would be good to start out with?

Great list, I just came across this list now in a search myself.

How about SEOBook.com for marketing? The website has contributed countless amounts of quality articles for advancement of the SEO World, marketing and conversion.

Great list of blogs. I just started a blog this year. Maybe one day, I'll be on a top 10 list (he he). Not a writer by any means but I having written a few articles and it's becoming contagious.

I was thankful just to be nominated, thanks! I wish I weren't working so hard right now - I would have done some guerilla marketing.

Thanks Again!

Praise!!

Here are the comments that I deleted. Thanks Jenn at NakedPr.com for keeping her emails:

Jenn at NakedPr.com original comment:

Michael,

Love the blog and the effort on creating the list. It would be great though if the post mentioned a bit about how these blogs were chosen, as there’s already a bit of rumbling around about how it’s just another subjective list that people are taking as an authority source on blog rankings, albeit a bit misguided.

It’s certainly nice to see some of your favorites (I’m assuming that’s what we have here… if there was another process I’d love it if you clarified it for me a bit).

MY RESPONSE:

Jennifer;

Since you asked:

This list was selected first based on nominations to this blog and our 20,000 reader newsletter. Something like 60 nominations came in.

Blogs needed to be nominated more than one time to qualify.

Then all blogs were critically analyzed for the value of the content and the regularity of their posts.

Hopefully that answers your question.

If a blog was not nominated, it did not make the list.

Mike

BILL SLEDZIK's COMMENT:

I’ll admit I’m not a regular reader here. I was drawn in by the buzz your list generated. Mission accomplished.

I spent a good bit of energy in my PR career trying to land my clients on lists like this, but I have to say I’m finding the selection criteria a little dubious, and your response to Jennifer a bit lacking. As I understand it, a top marketing blog needs just TWO nominations (from a list of 20,000 readers)? Then they are “critically analyzed.” By whom?

The passive voice is telling here. It’s sounding more and more like someone picked their favs and posted the list. That’s OK, it’ll pull in plenty of links and traffic, and, sadly, that’s the name of the game in Web 2.0. But let’s not make this list into more than it really is.

I’m not a marketing blogger, so there is no envy here, none at all. But you did miss some really good ones!

MY COMMENT:

Bill;

I think quality of the blogs on this list stand on their own.

This is a contest put on by www.WhitePaperSource.com.

I am the executive editor.

To be “considered” multiple nominations must have come in. If they did not, they were not considered.

Then the nominated blogs went through an analysis on our end for quality and frequency.

If you want to understand better how the process works, see the top 10 blogs for writer’s nominations that are coming in right now by going here:

Here is what I said in response to your comment at my blog:

I, and others in the blogosphere, might be more forgiving if you’d put those comments back up for all to see. I’m not being combative here, just fighting for a little transparency.

And here was your response:

Bill - Done

Of course, it isn't done. The comments remain off line.

Hey Folks;

I want to publicly apologize for deleting a few comments here yesterday.

What I did is pretty much censorship.

I realize it was a stupid mistake I made and I hope you accept my apology.

Mr. Stelzner,
before you are going to censor this comment just like you did with the comments of Jennifer Mattern and Bill Sledzik, you should go and read this:
