In today’s digital world, we’ve all become publishers. Content might be king, but it seems that everyone’s got something to say. The difficulty becomes separating the wheat from the chaff. In particular, there are loads of online advertising blogs. Far too many, in fact. But there are a few must-reads.

We’ve highlighted the top 5 online advertising blogs that you can’t afford to overlook.

1. Seth Godin’s blog

Prolific blogger and author Seth Godin is, quite simply, the go-to man for all things marketing and advertising. Sometimes succinct to the point of bluntness, Godin doesn’t waste words, so you won’t waste any time. Everything he publishes has value. With sharp, incisive comments, he’s probably the most famous living marketing consultant around.

2. Occam’s Razor

avinash_kaushik_1Let’s all be honest here. Content is cool, data isn’t. However, if you don’t look behind the scenes and examine what your advertising campaign is really achieving, you won’t learn any lessons or improve in the future. All the data we need is online, but the ‘truth’ can often be hard to find because analytics often seems quite intimidating.

Your worries are over. Occam's Razor by Avinash Kasushik is one of the best analytics-related blog out there. It’s written by Avinash Kaushik, who is a digital marketing expert for Google. He has a simple writing style that suddenly makes analytics easy to get to grips with.

3. Copyblogger
