My buddy Graywolf has volunteered to answer questions…
So… Here it goes.
In My Opinion… The best Social Media conversations are not instigated by folks in the SEO industry, they seem to be dominated by the people in Online PR because they seem to be the ones who have the most to win or loose. I’m also following a few academic folks who are into the sociology aspect of social networking.
My problem is that I’m new to Online PR so I need some help figuring out who the real thought leaders are in the industry and how I can apply the principals of online public relations and possibly even sociology to Internet Marketing.
Here are some of the (Non SEO) PR blogs I’ve been following.
In Alphabetical Order…
- Apophenia
- Augmented Social Cognition
- BuzzNetworker
- Influential Interactive Marketing
- PR 2.0
- Unit Structures
- Web Strategy by Jeremiah
Who do you like on my list, not like? What are you reading? How does it all apply to Search Marketing?
Aloha,
Dave.

I read all the sites that get on Digg on a regular basis. It helps you figure out what the majority of the social networking community is into.

I subscribe to PR2.0 and Brian has a lot of unique views to look at PR on the web now that I secretly slip into the ear of our PR director at work.

I’ve not heard of any of these sites. One of the freshest new faces on the scene is Hamlet Batista. His knowledge of search engines marketing is phenomenal and his attention to topics you don’t often hear about makes his blog stand out of the crowd. If you can’t learn anything from Hamlet you’ve probably spent too many hours in front of your computer screen.
I understand why you would go to read these other blogs. You can go to any SEO blog and read about the same stuff you already know, or you can read up on related industries and try to apply their principle to your own.

Aaron Wall’s blog has great posts on the incredible similarities between seo/page rank promotion and online public relations. They both even go by the same initials- P.R. !!! At some point online public relations will have to devote a ton more resources to paying attention to seo than they do now. Seo is the future of free publicity.

Categorically the Top Seven are:
1) Web Strategist from Jeremiah O.
2) Conversation Agent
3) Influential Marketing Blog from Rohit B.
4) Chris Brogan
5) Geoff Livingston
6) Logic + Emotion
7) PR 2.0 & Bubblicious from Brian Solis
John Bell at Ogilvy PR is pretty good too, as is Guy Kawasaki
