That’s a hard one… I subscribe to a few dozen blogs and I check them every now and then (if I have the time). But because school is pretty much taking up 100% of my time right now I don’t have time to read all the blogs I’m subscribed to. So it doesn’t mean that I read these 5 blogs every day - but I think they’re really good and I try to read them as much as I can.
Well, here are my top 5 “must read” blogs (in no particular order):
Seth Godin - he’s probably one of the most famous marketers in the world and he has an awesome blog that he posts to regularly. It’s one of the most popular blogs, has PageRank 7 and he doesn’t even have any ads - well, besides all the plugs for his own stuff (which is often the reason people start blogging). He always gives great tips and case studies - I especially like his short but powerful posts.
Matt Cutts - If you’re interested in SEO and recent Google changes why not hear it from a guy who works at Google? ;)
ShoeMoney - Jeremy Schoemaker has a pretty cool blog. He shares various tips regarding affiliate marketing, SEO, etc. But he also mixes it up with more personal posts like pictures of him with celebrities or posts about his favorite TV shows.
The Income.com Blog - This is a brand new blog, but anything from John Reese is bound to be good. I think this blog will become quite popular once Income.com kicks off. John is probably going to talk about internet marketing, SEO, affiliate marketing and anything about running an online business.
John Chow - although I don’t read all of his posts he often gives some great tips on how to make money with a blog or just how to make money online in general.
I tag Gary Lee, Jeff Kee and Nate Whitehill. I think tagging 3 people is enough although the Paper Bull tagged 5 in the original post - so if any of my readers want to be tagged I have 2 spots open ;) Just let me know and I’ll update the post.
Update: ShanKri-la also wants to play so I tag him too. One spot left if somebody is interested…
Update 2: Jacob grabbed the last spot. He can consider himself tagged :) Now get cranking on those lists.
To keep the viral aspect of this meme intact I think that participants should link to the post where they were tagged and maybe also the paper bull to give him credit for starting this.
Keywords: meme, viral, tag, Seth Godin, Matt Cutts, ShoeMoney, Jeremy Schoemaker, John Reese, Income.com, John Chow

It’s amazing that there are so many meme’s out there - that’s the best thing about the blogging community, the love!
Hannes Johnson // Aug 2, 2007 at 12:56 am
Saman - Yeah, memes can be fun - but because there are so many out there you have to come up with something original if you want it to become popular.
