Thank you for participating.
A while back I created a list of SEO blogs and continued to review and add a handful of blogs every week for about 2 years. I use “SEO” somewhat loosely, since most search marketers are adept at a variety of online marketing tactics including social, PPC, email and content.
With a trip to London coming up soon and plenty of great online marketing advice being published by UK internet marketing bloggers, what better time than now to offer a BIGLIST update focused on UK marketing blogs?
To make it interesting, I’ve compiled an initial list of 35 internet marketing blogs for you to choose from. There are links to all at the bottom of the post. Now vote!

Loading ...Winners might get some kind of cool TopRank shwag or other prize (I’m still deciding) but will definitely see a well written review with links for each of 5 the winners.
I decided to use 5 simple criteria for selection with this initial list of 35:
- Eyeball review of the blog for intended audience and topics covered
- If available, subscriber counts
- PageRank of the home page
- Most recent post date
- PostRank score
