This blog ranks well on Google for some fairly competitive phrases including: "online marketing" #5 533,000,000 SERPs "marketing blog" #1 191,000,000 SERPs blog marketing #5 189,000,000 SERPs blog optimization #1 15,900,000 SERPs social media optimization #2, #3 4,070,000 SERPs Jeremy, when Rand asked for the top referring sites, I understood the question as asking for the top referring sites excluding search engines.
