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

[TomCritchlow]

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

www.seobook.com

www.searchengineland.com

www.mattcutts.com

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.

[ThomasHgenhaven]

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.
