LinkShare Blog

It can seem like a full-time job to stay current on what’s going on in SEO and social media. There are plenty of AMAZING blogs and sites that you can go to so you can remain ‘in the know’. We’ve honed the list to five top blogs to visit to stay up-to-speed with this fast-paced industry.

1. Search Engine Journal – Loren Baker, Editor in Chief and his team KNOW what they’re talking about. It’s a publication that has been around for awhile. Loren and his team are a creative group, but also share amazing tips, tricks and tools to assist you with your search efforts overall.

2. HubSpot – These people know internet marketing. If you or you have employees that need to learn about internet marketing starting from the basics and up, then this blog is for you. Not only does HubSpot put an easy spin to understanding internet marketing, but ever so often you will see their team singing their hearts out about internet marketing, conversion and getting leads.

3. OutSpoken Media – Oh YES THEY ARE!!! This team of women knows how to get a point across.  Rae Hoffman, Lisa Barone and Rhea Drysdale (The Outspoken team,) while very outspoken, have really good ideas to get across and if you don’t mind a little profanity once in a while, you will learn a lot from their blog.

4. Search Engine Land – This site is more like a site for SEO news overall. Search Engine Land has very good topics related to the industry and will keep you current on SEO and social media trends, education, news and events.

5. SEO Book – Aaron Wall, yet another guy who knows his stuff. He also has some pretty cool SEO tools you can use too. I recommend his toolbar. It gives you a brief overview of PageRank, Yahoo inlinks, DMOZ Directory information, as well as a lot more information without actually having to travel to those individual sites.
