Business Blogs Worth Reading & Commenting On

I’m a big fan of reading and commenting on other blogs as a way to network online with an eye toward building readership for your own blog. While blogs on technology and politics abound, it’s tough to find good business blogs; especially ones with a large enough readership to expect that your target audiences might actually be reading them.

It’s been my experience that the best place to find business blogs is not the blog directories but the websites of major newspapers and magazines. It makes sense. We’ve all heard the stories about how circulation numbers are down. I can’t think of a better way to stay relevant. Not only are newspapers and magazines finding and reporting the news, they are using blogs to enable readers to create more content by participating in the process.

So, with this in mind, I’ve started compiling the following list of good business blogs my coaching and consulting clients can reasonably hope their target audiences are reading.

Got a recommendation? Let me know! I’d be glad to add it to the Squidoo Lens I’m creating on business blogs.
