If you’re anything like me (and my apologies if you are), you like lists. And, if you also happen to work in marketing, you’ve probably heard of the old AdAge Power150 list — it was a list of the top marketing blogs in the world. I use the past tense, because a few months ago AdAge said they were “powering down” the list. As the folks from Monty Python would say … the Power150 has ceased to be. (Video link here — you’re welcome.)
Ever since that initial announcement, I’ve thought to myself: “Self, you should totally go build that.” Well, it took me a while (and it’s by no means done yet), but we now have the Inbound 50: The Top Marketing Blogs list. I hope it will become the definitive (and dynamic) list of top marketing blogs on the internet.
This list draws on a few different criteria to determine the highest “score,” but the most important element is that it’s a dynamically updating list — which means the ranking will change automatically over time. Right now, the plan is to update every Sunday night.
Below is a screenshot of the top 10 blogs on the Inbound 50. I don’t think you’ll be surprised to see who sits at #1 today. With over 332K followers, 175K Facebook fans, and (predictably) incredible search authority, the Moz.com blog has long been heralded as an industry guidepost for how business blogging (and SEO) is done.
I thought it would be appropriate to sit down with Rand Fishkin and Moz’s founder, to solicit some words of wisdom as the original man behind the blog. Meet me below the top 10 list to see what he had to say. (To see the entire Top 50 list, visit inbound.org here.)
