Not counting seomoz or Distilled, what are your top3 SEO blogs you wouldchoose to read if you had a hard limit of 3 total?

Recently on Q&A, Petra weighed in with a link tool site that had completely missed my radar. My problem is lack of time. I don't have enough of it to readthe2 dozen+ SEO blogscurrently in my RSS feed I would like to tobe able to read to  stay current. So I end up only reading at the moz.

I'm hoping the collective wisdom of the SEOmoz crowd will shine forthand set me on the road of pursuit of new knowledge with the best of the best blogs

[TomCritchlow]

Tough question! Ignoring both seomoz and distilled I'd probably go for:

www.seobook.com

www.searchengineland.com

www.mattcutts.com

[goodnewscowboy]

Thanks Tom. The problem I have with SearchEngineland is that there's too much info. I find that I tend to move on without reading if I'm short time. Now a "Readers Digest" of SEL would be great!

[goodnewscowboy]

Sorry for the Distilled omission mate. I fixed it in edit. Oh! forgot to say welcome to the States!

searchengineland.com is one of my favourites, too. But I always read the http://searchengineland.com/searchcap-the-day-in-search-date.... there I have kind of a "best of" and scan trought the titles and select then the post I read.

http://www.searchenginejournal.com/

http://www.ericward.com/ - I like his way of thinking regarding link building (but this is not in the top3 (seomoz of course, too).

I've recently discovered: http://explicitly.me/ and love it.

To be honest, I only read SEOmoz regularly. Besides that, my reading effort is spread out wide and primarily influenced by twitter. So instead of following blogs, I prefer following Twitter people - especially those who don't just link to their own blog. My top 3 there would be:

@crazyegg

@KISSinsights

@dr_pete

[goodnewscowboy]

Thanks Thomas. I'll give two of them a shot (already follow Pete who's quite funny)

Back in August 2010 Rand listed his top 10 which can be found at:-

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/best-seo-blogs-top-10-sources-to-stay-uptodate

As well as listing them he also explained why he reads them.

I bookmarked his post (which I refer regularly to) so I didn't need to bookmark all of his recommendations.

There is a TON of stuff there - agreed. I tend to rely on their emails for the "digest" version. Able to skim titles/topics and the best content is pushed out there.

Searchcap is what you're looking for - feed version gives me a daily update of stuff to read: http://searchengineland.com/feeds

[E-dreamz]

I'm a huge fan of SearchCap. I take 15-30 minutea each day and review it. Typically keeps me up to date on anyything happening in the industry.

[Robert_Nemec]

Apart from already mentioned, I like http://www.seroundtable.com/:

1. They provide really up-to-date information.
2. They have mobile version. I read them mostly on my BlackBerry while standing in queue, waiting on something, on the lift etc.
3. The provide a lot of links for deeper discovering.
4. Their articles are useful.
