It seems like everyone is using top 10 lists or top 13 lists or top 8 lists, and rumor has it that this is a good way to get linkbait. So, without further ado, here is my Top 9 sites/blogs I am reading these days.

1. Threadwatch – Threadwatch is a great place to find search news compiled in one place. That is useful to me.
2. Gray Wolf – Gray Wolf is an experienced hand at SEO and I like his take on many of the issues of the day. He could definitely hold his own in a Jim Rome style smack-off on SEO.
3. SEOmoz – Rand Fishkin is kind of like a 5 tool player in baseball. He may not hit 40 homeruns a year but he is an awesome addition to any team. He has a great site, and you can tell he thinks things through pretty well. One of the few people on the internet I have sent fanmail.
4. Guy Kawasaki – First of all, he has an awesome frickin’ name. But more than that it is rare to see someone sit down and start a blog so successfully. Great content. Good ideas.
5. Seth Godin – When Seth Godin says something lots and lots of people listen. We will see how his latest venture, Squidoo, goes. While we are waiting to find out, get over there and make as many lenses as you can get your paws on.
6. IncrediBILL – When reading his blog one word and one word only comes to mind, curmudgeon. I like what he writes.
7. Yahoo Web Analytics Group – This is probably the best place to read about web analytics on the internet. I have tried to convince Eric Peterson to move it to a real forum but he doesn’t want to, oh well.
8. Performancing – These guys are off to a great start with this new venture and they have some very insightful writers giving the rest of us tips on blogging success. Rock, Rock on!
9. Jim Boykin – The guys at We Build Pages have been doing SEO a long long time. For a long time I really didn’t read Jim Boykin’s blog, but I was reading late last week and maybe it was the alcohol, but I was really impressed with the content that he had on there. Don’t get me wrong, I like Stuntdubl too, but this list can only be so long.
10. *BONUS LINK* Click Herder – OK, shameless self promotion here, but I am excited about collaborating with these guys on ClickHerder.com. I guarantee that this blog will be fresh, because we are not educated enough to do it the way that other people have done it before.

Well, that went pretty well. I hope that you enjoy. Let me know who else I should be reading in the area of web analytics and SEO.
