I love rankings, what can I say. After I published the “Top 20 Blogs About Blogging” list I thought that someone would replicate it for the SEO sphere. But no one did, so here we go again.

This list was made using pretty much the same algorithm (only small modifications were made, mainly due to the fact that SEO blogs are more popular). Once again the list should be useful because it is based on objective factors. There are many “Top SEO Blogs” lists around the web, but most of them are based on the preferences of the author.

The "Top 20 Blogs About Blogging" list ranks blogs according to their Google Pagerank, Alexa rank, number of Bloglines subscribers and Technorati authority.

Each of the four factors range from 0 to 10, where 10 is the best score. The maximum total score for each blog, therefore, is 40. There will be monthly updates. Below the table you will find the details about the algorithm (check also the Top 20 SEO Blogs).

Do blogs help with your SEO efforts?

The buzz about them sure implies that they do! While there is some truth to that, blogs mainly just help with your overall marketing efforts. Like anything else SEO related, no one practice is going to make or break you (we'll maybe break you if you're spamming!).
