Not many additions this week, but we did do a bit of housecleaning. Fifty blogs were removed due to non-activity.

Also, our diligent maintainer of the BIGLIST was kind (too kind in my opinion) to note previously removed blogs which have now started posting regularly again. These are on probation but will be added back in for now. Otherwise, if you’ve been dropped, you’ll need to email us to be added back.   Welcome to the BIGLIST people!

New additions:

• SEO Fast Start - Dan Thies’ place to build a network of like minded students of SEO with a handy e-book and an occasional rant on search engine conspiracy theories.
