Ranking the Top Internet Markting Blogs and Websites

If you are looking for some of the top internet marketing blogs and websites around the web, then look no further than Winning the Web.

Several websites provide rankings of some of the top internet marketing blogs better known as those in the industry as IM. I myself am a follower of many of these blogs.

The number 1 blog on the list is Problogger.net. The site is maintained by Darren Rowse who makes his full time income being a blogger. He started back in 2002 and his grown his site to have large fan base in that time. The reason he is number 1 on the list has to do with several factors. He has a very large number of feedburner subscribers (RSS). His count is over 65,000. However, the interesting thing is that he does not flaunt and show off this number. Another factor for his success is his Alexa traffic ranking. His ranking is amongst the most visited 35,000 websites on the web. That still leaves a large number of websites that have more visitors. This means that internet marketing blogs are not the most popular thing on the web.

Some other factors that go into the rankings include the compete ranking, technorati ranking, google page rank, yahoo inbound links, stumble upon reviews, and del.icio.us saves. There are certainly a lot of factors that go into the Winning the Web IM top blogs rankings but it has already become a key player in the industry.

The second highest ranked blog is CopyBlogger.com. This is a blog that I personally never visit and its hard to say why it comes in at #2. It is due to the algorithm which goes into the IM top blogs list that I am not sure exactly how it works.

The third top blog is that by Matt Cutts. He is a well known name around the web. This is because he is the head of Google's webspam team. He has a lot of insider knowledge into Google and how the company works on the web. Of course this is important as Google is the #1 search engine in many countries such as the U.S.

Rounding out the top five is #4 SEOMoz and #5 JohnChow. I have a lot of experience with both of these blogs and websites. SEOMoz is a leading SEO (search engine optimization) company and offers many tools for free and for pay. I was a 6 month subscriber to the premium services and they certainly helped me increase my potential with internet marketing. JohnChow is a popular Canadian blogger who blogs about making money online. Many of posts are quite useless, but he certainly can help newbie's get pointed in the right direction. He often times talks about his top moneymakers and in recent months has made over $30,000 blogging in a month. This is quite a feat and is representative of how much money the top internet marketing blogs can make if they are well monetized and provide quality content.
