Ultimate Blogger Resource List!

One of the trickiest aspects of writing a blog is figuring out just who the heck your audience really is, and THEN what they truly are interested in enough to click their way to your site to read (and if your lucky, when they get to your site they keep clicking and hit some and on some ads too!). But how do you find out exactly what people are searching for on the web? What are people interested in? This list is a compilation of suggested resources from the users of the 30 Day Challenge forums. Some of these tools are pay services, but most are free and very useful. Personally, I am only touching the tip of the iceberg in my understanding of how to use these all properly, but nonetheless, this list will prove useful to both baby bloggers and master ninja bloggers. I hope you find it as useful as I am and please leave a comment with anything the list has missed!
