Greetings to all our readers! The reason for writing this article was a question that arose in our team: what SEO blogs do our readers like? At the moment, there are quite a lot of corporate blogs of SEO companies and digital agencies in RuNet that consider cases, reveal controversial issues and try to give interesting information to their readers.
However, such information, in most cases, is only general and only in rare cases can it bring real benefit to readers.
The cases that both agencies and bloggers talk about are just a general picture of the project without nuances. In one case, bloggers do not want to “burn the topic”, in another case, companies are guided by NDA.
As a result, we get cases like: we did 1, 2, 3, 4 and got a, b, c, d. You are unlikely to know how exactly you need to do those same 1, 2 or 3 to get a, b or c.
Are you told that they used link promotion? But they won’t tell you how exactly the strategy was built. Are you talking about a content strategy in an SEO blog? They won’t tell you what it includes. In the end, you get information like: “ Well, in general, we worked with the link mass, improved the content and checked for errors, everything turned out ok and we got +100500% traffic .” Interesting? Yes. Useful? Unlikely.
That is why we decided to make our own list of Western bloggers and companies that bring real benefits to their readers. Those SEO heroes who are not afraid to talk about their tricks and whose every opinion is supported by 10 facts. Those company blogs for which NDA is not an obstacle in compiling useful content. And those blogs that conduct case studies based on the principle of a comprehensive study of the issue. So, let's go.

Impeccable service, incredible information level and a blog of corresponding quality. Of the 5 million people who visit this site every month, at least ⅓ are regular readers of the blog. The explanation is simple: readers mean a lot to Ahrefs, and therefore the quality of informational articles and cases is top notch.

Conclusion
Our list is not exhaustive - we will constantly update it, adding new blogs that can give our readers a lot of useful information and knowledge. At the moment, we can only summarize that the level of Western blogs is several steps ahead of most domestic gurus (who often take information from Western blogs). We hope that our article will soon be supplemented with domestic blogs, which will really become a pleasant addition to this list.
