Where to find the bloggers of your niche?

Everyone wants to remain in touch with the top bloggers in their niche. But the biggest question that arises is where to find the top bloggers in your niche. I try to answer this question by suggesting some resources that anyone can use to find the bloggers of their type and use these resources efficiently to network with them:

When you are able to get links from the bloggers of you niche, you will not only be able to drive large amount of traffic to your website but with this will be able to create some authority for your website/blog in the eyes of search engines.

Another benefit that you will have is that you will have more ideas to post about on your blog that will came to your mind after communicating and reading their blogs.

•  Blogging communities – visit blogging communities like Mybloglog, Blogcatalog, Bumpzee, Spicypage.com and search with the keywords of your niche to find the bloggers of your type.

• Technorati – go to Technorati and enter the keywords of your choice there to find the bloggers in your niche. Technorati offers some authority and ranking to every blog, so it will help you to find the top bloggers in your niche.
• StumbleUpon – most of the users on StumbleUpon have created blogs so do some research work here to add more new bloggers to your list you have searched so far.
• Social media sites – spend some time on social media sites which cover most of the categories you may be interested in. Once you find a blogger like you, add that blogger blog RSS into your RSS reader.
• Blogging directories – there are thousands of blogging directories, but would suggest searching for your targeted keywords in top blog directories only.
• Blogging forums – for blogging tips, advice and to get in touch with other bloggers, visit top blogging forums

If you are willing to find the bloggers that bogs about money making then search for ‘money making blog’ in google search box. And if you are willing to find blogs that are created on a specific blogging platform use the following commands in google search :

             - For blogger.com blogs use Your Keyword site:blogspot.com
             - And for wordpress blogs use search term site:wordpress.com
