The Roll and The Why

September 18th, 2007 | Links | Matt | 5 Comments

Almost every blogger puts a blogroll together. The reasons range from simply highlighting other consistently great content to an attempt to get some more link love. But one thing that seems to be common about blogrolls is that they go largely unnoticed. So here’s a look at who is on my blogroll and why. I encourage all of you to let me know who I’m missing and to share the whys of your blogroll on your site.

  • Keeping a blogroll doesn’t fit my business objectives. Instead I point readers to particular blogs when ther cover topics that are pertinent to my niche, Emotional Intelligence. I also do occasional round up articles featuring EQ related blogs

  • Matt … thanks for link love to Brand Autopsy. Glad you find it worthwhile reading.

  • It feels so good to be loved. ;)

  • I would suggest the addition of two blogs that I read on a regular basis.

    The first is Adrants (http://www.adrants.com) which is as entertaining as it is informative.

    The second is the blog for Punk Marketing (http://www.punkmarketing.com/punk-blog/) which I thoroughly enjoy (although it is not updated as often as I would like.

    There are plenty more out there, Matt Cutts (Google), Bill Tancer’s Hitwise Blog, Searchlight. These are all really insightful reads.

    Keep fighting the good fight.

    Greg
