LinkLove I believe that in order to become a better blogger it is important to read other blogs and I do quite a bit of reading daily, not only for that reason but also because I love reading. The blogs I spent most time on are all related in one way or another to the theme of becoming a better blogger, whether it be in terms of quality content, SEO or other important things, you can tell they are all very dedicated to the blogosphere.

So today I wanted to share these blogs with you, because I continually learn from them and wanted to send a little “thank you” for all the effort they put in.

  1. Courtney Tuttle: I am always amazed to see that he “only” has a little fewer than 2000 subscribers, since his blog is absolutely packed with high quality information for bloggers and Internet marketers. 102 to make your blog or site a backlink superstar is a huge list with handy tricks to improve on your backlinks and 10 easy ways to make yourself look like a blogging newbie made me chuckle (and silently cringe) a bit.
  2. Stephan Miller: I really can relate to his style of writing, and at times the posts make me laugh, going from one thing to another, but mostly good quality information offered and his lists are a great reference point on where to submit your blog and I really enjoyed his post on tools for commenting.
  3. Josh Spaulding: great thing about his posts is the “related post” section, which at least contains another 4 or 5 interesting titles that make me want to read more. 10 ways to start out 2008 by helping someone is one of his must read posts and quit smoking and make more money sure made me think.
  4. Caroline Middlebrook: I really like the theme she is using and her posts are very informative in her own straight forward style. Her newest post on audience was very interesting, making me think about a lot of tactics you see online and I really enjoyed reading the post on her stats for February, since they were shared in a completely different way than I have seen so far by other bloggers.
  5. Marcus Hochstadt: Congrats again on breaking the 100,000 Alexa Rank! This blog inspires me to do better on my own, and even though I did not win his review I am getting another shot through the contest the University Kid is offering at the moment. I like his style and willingness to help other bloggers become better, through posts like Internet Business Q&A where he offers his readers a chance to ask his multimillionarie mentor questions about the internet business and Video Site Review where he offers one winner a great chance of getting a professional review in order to improve their online venture.
  6. The University Kid: I signed up for this blog in order to have a bigger chance winning in the huge contest he is running at the moment but now that I have signed up I must say this guy is working hard on making a better blog. His Dumb Ideas in the Industry post is a nice eye-opener for gullible people.
  7. Leo Babauta: I found this one quite a while ago and was taken at first by the nice Zen type theme of his blog, but more important, I love his content. There are great tips for creating a more productive life and of course I would always recommend his books to read. (There is still a chance to win a copy of Handbook for Life in my contest by commenting on Dilemma of a Blogger). It is really hard to decide on which posts I like best but you shouldn´t miss out on the 10 things to simplify and the edit your life series.
  8. Alex: I follow this blog since the beginning since we started almost at the same time and I like seeing the progress he is making. He took the time to contact me and point out a problem with this theme I was not aware of which I thought was great of him to do. Some of his best posts are how to hide your affiliate links and affiliate hide and seek.
  9. Jay: I think this blog is up and coming big time, with many great post and a wealth of good information, again on how to improve blogging on all different aspects, being it increasing google ranks or blogging forums we should join, or any of the other posts.
  10. Terence Chang: I started reading his blog around the same time that I started with this blog and find many of his posts very inspiring and touching and others are focussing on happiness. He also started a new blog to make people smile, sharing smiles, you can see mine on there as well ;)

When looking at this list, the thing that stands out to me is that even though these are all related in some way to “making money” online, they all do offer useful information in contrary to some of the “big money making blogs” who share very little but take a lot. I mean, just how many food pics and new cars do you really want to look at?

The listed bloggers however stand out for their willingness to help fellowbloggers and provide them with real information, tools and tricks to succeed. I personally find it very interesting to compare the different ways they use to monetize and represent their content and ideas, aswell as trying to figure out what is behind the blogger, what makes them tick and continue to come up with great content.

So there is the reason for wanting to spill a little linkjuice ;)
