Best of - The Best of 2006

As 2006 comes to a close, several bloggers feel compelled to reflect on the last year and either list some of their best posts or the best posts on a particular subject like I did with the previous post on “The Best Blog Traffic & Monetization Posts of 2006“.

So here are the some of the posts that I’ve found so far.

Seth Godin has a post called “Your Favorite Seth Posts, 2006” where his readers can vote for the best post. He has some real gems in there. Most of the posts are focused on the topic of marketing in general but 99% of his posts on the list will change your mind about how you conduct business. One of my favorites that didn’t make the list is a video of him at Google.

Copyblogger has a post called “The Best of Copyblogger (According to Time Magazine’s Person of the Year)” You. I can’t say enough great things about this blog. The advice is extremely actionable. I have several of these pages bookmarked and read them over and over.

Darren Rowse of ProBlogger has a very long post called “Best of ProBlogger - 2006” where he reconstructs the entire year month-by-month.

Local SEO, Mike Belasco, has a post called “Top 10 Local Search Engine Optimization Blog Posts for 2006“. In my opinion this is an extremely relevant topic for most businesses in Hawaii. (The vast majority of business and services related queries will usually have a city or state in front of the query to keep the results relevant.)

The Official Google blog, Inside AdSense has a post called “Best of 2006” where they narrow down the Top 10 highlights, not listed in any particular order. It’s always good to get the story directly from the source.

Chris Boggs who covers the search news posted links to the “Top SEM Stories of 2006” on his new blog.

Lee Odden posts his “Top TopRank Blog Posts for 2006” as well as some other year end stats for his blog.

Eric Goldman and John Ottaviani posted on the Technology & Marketing Law Blog the “Top Cyberlaw Developments for 2006” as a two part post.

Update: I was just over at Todd Malicoat’s blog and found a few more worth mentioning in his post about his 2006 Predictions & Review.

Techipedia created a huge post called Internet Marketing Best [Blog] Posts of 2006: The Year in Review. All I can say is WOW! It will take me a while to digest this one. I’n sure I’ll find a few new blogs worth reading in the process as well.

Andy Beal posted the Marketing Pilgrim’s Top 10 Posts of 2006

Chris at 10e20 posted the 101 Biggest Stories in Search 2006. It’s a huge list. Wow! It’s a real walk down memory lane.
