Top 5 Blogs I Read: A Meme
May 22nd, 2007 by msdanielle
I have so many blogs in my reader, so narrowing them down to a Top 5 is really hard. I read blogs for news, marketing information, SEO, fun, gossip, shopping deals…the list just goes on and on. I was tagged by Ed Lau and Gary Lee to name my Top 5, so here’s what I came up with. I sincerely recommend you check out any of the following blogs if you haven’t before, and let me know what you think.
Top Make-Money-Online Blog: DoshDosh.com
DoshDosh is definitely my favorite online marketing and monetization blog. Maki’s extremely focused and highly informative articles pretty much form a great make-money-online ebook. So don’t think it’s a quick and thoughtless read. I mean, did you read his t-shirt affiliate post!?
Top SEO Blog: SEO-Theory.com
I haven’t found another blog out there that breaks down what SEO is better than SEO-Theory. I challenge you to find one better that makes you think, “Damn, I should’ve known that!” SEO-Theory is where I go for my morning SEO slap in the face. It’s great!
Top Fun Blog: the.[ED]ition.com
Ed is awesome. And funny. That’s pretty much why I love his blog.
Top News Blog: NPR.org
I try to listen to the radio to get my source of news. Normally I listen to NPR when it’s on here in Los Angeles via KCRW (which plays the best music in LA in my opinion). NPR reports the news like how I’d imagine news is supposed to be reported, but admittedly it takes time to adjust your ears to radio news if you’re used to the sensationalist junk they show on TV. That’s why I think it’s great that NPR has a blog! I mean, they even posted this article about a scientific study on the Five Second Rule! You know what I’m talking about!
Top Friend Blog: MrGaryLee.com
If you’re a blogger, it’s best to have a friend blogger that is sort of like your blog buddy. I don’t mean someone you meet through blogging. I mean someone who’s your friend that can help motivate you, critique your work, and help promote you because they’re your friend and they care about your success in your new venture. My buddy is Gary. We’ve helped each other along the way and given each other advice. I started my blog about one month after he did, and we both try to kick each other into high gear, bounce ideas off each other, and leave each other constructive comments. It’s a great way to stay motivated on those tough days that you don’t want to write, which will come more often than you predict.
Tag, you’re it!
I’m tagging Derek, Derrich, Derrik…and Kelly on this meme.

Thanks for sharing your top 5. Mine comprising 2 design, 1 inspiration, 2 make money online blogs. Goldy is right … I should have a read-for-fun blog, otherwise, I would turn a dull girl. Anyway, let me know if you like my “Logo Have Sex” … I guess that can be classified under fun-read?
