'Writing on the Web' Blog Places #3 on Top 42 Content Marketing List

San Diego, CA) November 19, 2008 – Advertising on the web is being replaced by a new style of marketing: Content marketing.

Businesses are using the Web to publish content that informs and entertains, instead of spending money on banner ads that get ignored.

As a result there are now marketing sites and blogs designed to help businesses master the new content marketing style. Joe Pulizzi is one such expert, and he recently published a list of the top 42 content marketing blogs on his site Junta42.

Writing on the Web, a blog written by Blog Squad co-founder Patsi Krakoff, Psy.D., placed 3rd on the list, which can be found at www.Junta42.com/top_42_content_marketing_blogs

The top five content marketing blogs include:

1. Online Marketing Blog, from Lee Odden, CEO of TopRank Online Marketing

2. Copyblogger, from writer and entrepreneur Brian Clark

3. Writing on the Web, from writing and business blogging expert Patsi Krakoff

4. Influential Marketing Blog, from public relations guru Rohit Bhargava, author of Personality Not Included

5. Web Ink Now, from David Meerman Scott, author of the bestselling The New Rules of Marketing and PR

"This new style of marketing is becoming extremely popular on the Web because it focuses on the reader, either by informing them, entertaining them, or by creating community relationships," states Dr. Krakoff.

"The key is authenticity. Readers aren't interested in the hype you see in TV commercials. When a business or professional publishes on the web, they must connect with customers in a way best done through writing valuable content that rings true," she adds.

Dr. Krakoff, co-founder of The Blog Squad™, specializes in helping small businesses and professionals create quality content to reinforce expertise and credibility through blogs, newsletters, social media and e-commerce systems. In partnership with Denise Wakeman, they publish 9 blogs, and help professionals create massive online visibility and master Internet marketing.
