I have about 70 blogs I read regularly. But there are couple that I always start my day reading because frankly their content is unique and refreshing.

Create Business Growth: fresh, different and interesting topics every day!

If you are active on online forums, you must be familiar with Steve [a.k.a. vangogh]

And I think everyone knows Chris Garrett but did you know that he also started authority blogger forum, one of my all time favorite forums for bloggers.

If you want to learn read quality posts about online marketing and advertising, then  Muhammad Saleem at Pronet advertising is your man.

We talk a lot about conversion optimization on our blog. One of my favorite blogs on the topic is Lead optimize by Chris Denny who guest blogs with invesp as well.

I was looking at my Google reader earlier today to see how many blogs I am subscribed to. To my surprise, I had about 70 different blogs that listed. Thank God not everyone on my list posts every day; otherwise I wouldn’t be getting to client work.

How long does it take me to read through these blogs? I spend close to 2 hours every day reading any new posts. Of course I do not read every single post. I just scan the headlines, and if something interests me, I click on it and read it. If something really, really interests me, I jump on that blog to leave a comment. I normally open my Google reader within the first hour in the morning. I come back to see if there are any new blogs posted couple of times during the day.

How do I find these blogs? I definitely use mybloglog a lot. Since I was reader of top rank blog, they were one of the first marketing communities I subscribed to. The nice thing about Mybloglog is that it allows you to view other members of the communities you are subscribed to. So, I click on the community members in toprank; there are 1145 as of today. I am going through the list of 1145 bloggers by literally clicking on each of them, viewing their profile and visiting their blog. If their blog is interesting then I will add it to my Google reader. As of today, I am on page 7 of the top rank community; which means I have visited 235 blogs in the last couple of months.

Here is my list of blogs, not categorized in any alphabetical order (except for the first two!):

1. TheVanBlog: Steve is always helpful in giving feedback and advice. He is probably one of the most active people I know in online forums.
2. Lead Optimize: Chris’s comments are insightful. Each post is informative and will link you 3 or 4 blogs that are worth adding to your RSS reader.
