CLEVELAND, June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- When Joe Pulizzi created the Junta42 Top 42 Content Marketing Blogs list back in 2007, he was just trying to put content marketing on the map. Today, content marketing isn't just on the map... it's one of the fastest growing sectors of marketing.

Today, Junta42 announced their 11th and final installment of the wildly popular Top 42 Content Marketing Blogs list. The list, first developed in January of 2008, grades marketing thought leaders and bloggers from around the world on their coverage of content marketing. The initial list of 81 has grown to over 450 blogs today.
"When we launched the Top Blogs list, we were trying to create awareness of content marketing and help marketers communicate the practice area using a common language," stated Joe Pulizzi, founder of Junta42 and the Content Marketing Institute. "Today, content marketing is now the recognized term for brands creating valuable and compelling content to attract and retain customers."
"Although the list is still incredibly useful, we believe it's done the job."
Unlike other blog lists that focus solely on traffic and popularity, the Junta42 team reviews each blog individually on the basis of the following: 1) Relation to the field of content marketing, 2) Substantive value, 3) Regularity and 4) Google page rank.
The Top 10 of the final list includes:
1 Convince and Convert from Jay Baer, Author of The Now Revolution
2 TopRank Blog from Lee Odden at TopRank Marketing
3 Brian Solis, principal, Altimeter Group
4 Conversation Agent from strategist Valeria Maltoni
5 Marketing Experiments from MECLABS
6 Copyblogger from Brian Clark
7 Social Media Examiner from Michael Stelzner
8 Inbound Internet Marketing Blog by Hubspot
9 Social Media Explorer, from strategist Jason Falls and
