I started reading BloggingExperiment just before Ben sold it. It was a good blog. Max Davis produced some interesting content on there with regards to buying and selling websites, and his class on the same topic was useful and well-thought out. Unfortunately, Max retired from the teaching business almost as soon as he got into it, so now the blog is virtually dead. However, that might be a good opportunity for anyone with a little cash to come in and purchase and gain an instant large reader base.

Nice collection of web sites. Shoemoney’s and John Chow’s sites are a couple that I’ve checked out on a regular basis. Their “battle” is of course legendary and there is always something to learn from these two. I’m going to check out the other sites as well.

DailyBlogTips is one of the sites that I found particularly helpful. Lots of the tips can be seen elsewhere on the Internet but I like having them all in one place for easy access. There’s always something new to learn and that’s great site for learning them.

Same old tired junk. For the love of God, find something new to write about instead of the same old crap over and over again. Every single one of those blogs is nothing but affiliate spam. You can sum them all up in one line “please sign up for these affiliate programs and make money for me”. That’s it. Shoemoney, Chow, Rowse et al summed up in one line.

Nice list Franklin. I read a few on the list but not all of them. It’s no question that a blogger can learn a lot just from this list of blogs man, true enough.

Wow, there are actually some up there that I never heard of. Thanks for posting this list. I guess I have more RSS subscriptions to add :)

Pretty good list… Two that I haven’t heard of, namely the University Kid and ‘the ripoff’.

I know few of the blogs. But I thought there must be at least a 100 blogs that should be worth following in the millions available. I am also still looking for the best.

too bad the guy behind copyblogger is such a douchebag. makes it had to read his blog knowing that he’s an asshole. i say this because i have seen him be a total pig in responding to legit comments where people disagreed with him.

Thank you for the list. Oddly enough I just discovered Caroline today and I have been reading about half the rest. I don’t really understand the no follow other then to avoid spam. I never use no follow.
Of course most of the blogs I am running only have between 50-100 unique visitors a day and I am trying to increase that by reading these other blogs!

Thanks for including Balkhis in your list :)
