Top 15 Most-Followed SEO Lists on Twitter

After writing a little more serious post on SEO strategy last month, I thought I would go to the other, more light-hearted end of the search and social spectrum, and nothing beats Twitter for that!  In fact, follow me,  Ben McKay, on Twitter.

Inspired by a number of Twitterererers that I have started to follow of late, I have compiled a list of lists promoting those SEO / search marketing / social media lists that are getting the most followers.

Lists can take some time to develop – so great work to those that have compiled and promoted their own!!

So here they are, the most followed SEO lists on Twitter:

1. Search Marketing by Danny Sullivan, 330 Followers – Danny is a leading industry SEM journalist, speaker and editor over at SearchEngineLand.
2. Inbound Marketing Stars by Hubspot, 229 Followers – a list created by Hubspot, a so-called inbound marketing software company.
3. Search Marketing by Lee Odden, 188 Followers – a search marketing specialist and owner of TopRankBlog.
4. Inbound Marketing news by Hubspot, 174 Followers – another list by the Hubspot company.
5. UK SEO’s by Rishil Lakhani, 90 Followers – I subscribe to a work list and Rishil’s so naturally recommend this one!
6. The SEO List by SEO Gadget, 84 Followers – a good looking list from another UK SEO, Richard Baxter, but not exclusively of UK SEO’s.
7. Search Marketing List by Matt McGee, 66 Followers – another list from a SearchEngineLand editor, who’s also a speaker and online marketing consultant.
8. Search Engines by Danny Sullivan, 69 Followers – another list from Danny, and strictly not just a list of search engines but a good list for those search marketers that are interested in them.
9. Web Marketing by SEO Guru, 58 Followers – quite a few search marketers on this list not seen on other lists so might be a good way of discovering new followees.
10. SEO List by Kalena, 51 Followers – another list that might help you discover the occasional new search marketing guru.
11. Firehorse Friends by David Harry, 47 Followers – a good list with a stack of search marketers that are friends of Huomah and the gang.
12. Members of SEO Dojo by David Harry, 39 Followers – another great list to befriend those in the SEO Dojo – providing some of the finest SEO training forums on the planet!  ;)
13. Rockin SEO’s by Angie Nikoleychuk, 32 Followers – a great list of SEO’s from around the world – again a list where you’ll find some new tweets to consume happily.
14. In-house SEO List by Aaron Bradley, 30 Followers – I’d have loved to have had a list available like this when I was working in-house…it’s always good to network with people that face the same challenges and opportunities each day.
15. Movers and Shakers by Benjamin Zalasky, 29 Followers – strictly not a pure search / social list with guys like Tony Hawk on there but interesting to see a mix like that.

Add yourself to lists

AND, if you’re not on a list and feel you should be, then I don’t see any reason with pinging them to get yourself adding to it.  The worst that can happen is that they say no!  :)

Niche Lists

Are these the lists you should follow?  Well maybe, but having looked at them, there is a lot of overlap.  I’d also look to smaller niche lists – to cover link-building, online PR / social media, online marketing or management topics, for example:

Twitter’s Manchester SEO List – For Manchester SEO’s (me included), Shane Jones threw together a list of guys who contribute to the local SEO community.  More info and contacts for future events (next is on 28^th January)

Previously, people have compiled their own Twitter Lists via good ol’ HTML – e.g. Marketing Pilgrim’s list of 200+ internet marketing Twitterererers, or Pete Young’s UK SEO’s to follow, but the joys of Twitter lists have kindly been encapsulated by Listorious, so thanks for making this post so much easier!!
