Simple Marketing Blog: Junta42 #11 Top Content Marketing Blog!

Back in April 2010, when I shared with you that Simple Marketing Blog had become a Junta42 Top 42 Content Marketing Blog, I never imagined that the delight could become even more simply intense. But, it has!  Simple Marketing Blog is now ranked #11 among the Junta42 Top Content Marketing Blogs...

I am very excited and honored.

As Joe Pulizzi explains in Brian Solis Rocks Latest Junta42 Top Content Marketing Blogs, his post announcing the latest ranking, the list of blogs included in the ranking has grown from 350+ to over 400.

I like how Gavin Heaton puts this listing into perspective in Content Marketing and the Junta42: it's a "handy reference to some of the leading content marketing blogs – a very useful resource for those marketers working with social media as part of their strategy."

For reference, the Junta42 Top Content Marketing Blogs are based on these criteria.
