What are the best marketing blogs out there?
I'm constantly looking for ways to stay up to date on trends/news and so I would love to see everyone's favorite marketing blogs!
I'd be willing to hear about books as well, but am hesitant as marketing trends seem to change too quickly to be published and eternally relevant.

There are lot many and believe me more your resources on marketing, more you get confused.
In marketing, so be in digital or by any other mode, you need be specific on what you want to achieve or what you are pitching and how shall I generate more sales (valuable) from my marketing campaign.
Of course, you can take help of market expert in your company and discuss for planning it in advance.
I generally read HubSpot these days, but as said, even a simple Google search can help.
Thank you.

My personal favorites are Moz.com/blog, Search Engine Land, SEO Roundtable, ClickZ and SEO Book.
While many of these are geared specifically toward Internet Marketing, it's pretty important to note that this field has basically become a necessary component of traditional marketing, anyway.

This is a great, great book. http://www.amazon.com/Contagious-Why-Things-Catch-On/dp/1451686579
I also really enjoy these facebook groups:

I've been meaning to read Contagious, it's definitely on my list! What stood out about it that made you love it so much? Any key takeaways?
Jan 10, 2014
I think the parts about Gameification, social currency, and just the simple idea that people don't talk about what's "promoted" they talk about what matters to them and to their friends lives. There's also references to some great Gladwell books you should check out as well, if you haven't.

Hi Kimberly,
There are literally dozens of blogs and websites, and separating the wheat from the chaff is difficult - you can spend hours reading all the stuff out there, listening to podcasts, etc to find that one nugget that you need.
That being said, there are 3 that I seem to return to regularly: John Jantz's Duct Tape Marketing (http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/), HubSpot (http://blog.hubspot.com), and Social Media Examiner (www.socialmediaexaminer.com).
For my business, in it's current stage of development, I find the info on these sites relevant, insightful and current.
YMMV, and all the usual caveats...

Hope this helps!
