    Thanks for the terrific list–many I didn’t know and learned a lot–which need as have a new blog to get up to speed. BTW–Arianna Huffington has millions of monthly readers [not thousands]. Her traffic rank is #44 in the U.S. ie–love Gary Vaynerchuck but his is around 50K [of course he didn't have AH's $20M+ capitalization.] However, the 23-yr old ‘girl’ publisher of eatliverun.com didn’t have any $ either, and her traffic stats are twice as high as Gary V’s.

    Thanks again–this is a quality list of great info and very much appreciated!

    Hmm. It probably was tasking compiling this list. I happen to know a very few of them in the sense that I have been able to visit their blogs or received emails from them. People like Rosalind Gardner from whose blog I got to know of this subject, Rob Benwell, Steve Pavlina and I think I have heard of Yaro Starak. Great work, Michael. This gives people more blogs to visit and gain one or more things from.

    Aah I see I am not on the list. Must have just missed it and come in at number 51. LOl.

    Seriously tho a great list of worthy people Many I follow already learning from there fantastic tips and ideas.

    Would have been nice to se what your grading score was. Because there are a few bloggers that I think should have made it.

    Thanks very much, effort was really helpful to me. Most people fill their articles with stuffs but you have given something really important for others while presenting ideas very clearly and more accurately.

    Thanks again!

    nice list, though many were missing from the list and at the same time those that made it can’t be removed either…

    anyways, incomediary too deserves to be in the list, or atleast it is in my list of top 50 :)

    Humbled to be in such excellent company!

    Here’s a suggestion for two woman who definitely deserve to be on this list: Naomi Dunford of IttyBiz and Sonia Simone of Copyblogger and Remarkable Communication.
