Sebastian and I are slowly building our Blogspeedway.com blog network from a couple of different angles, one of them being the identification of Influentials based on Social Media (I’m using Radian6 to identify influentials) and then, go out and contact them, and ask them to  check out Blogspeedway.com, and apply to join, if they’re interested.

So far, in the last month or so, we’ve added about 20 bloggers, a few need to still be added to the online list, and we’re more of a loose community at this point with influence building coming first, and making money off of it, later.

But I had not actually published the list of Gardening Influential Blogs that I found, based on a set of keywords I harvested out of Google Keyword Planning Tool – here’s the list of blogs, first with two lists – one based on expensive keywords and another based on much less expensive keywords, both have decent traffic:

< $1.00 + higher traffic = long tail blogs

There’s a few blogs in each list that overlap, but most don’t – and taking them both together – I used my own methodology to cull this list – most of the bloggers are unknown beyond the small sphare of their Gardening followers, but I believe, this is precisely the place to start for Blogspeedway.com.

We also have about several more segments that I’ll do research on, but I thought I’d publish the full list of Gardening Influentials here – take a look at them for yourself and see how much you agree.

By the way, while many of these blogs do look similar, but I don’t think they’re all the same people; in fact, to prove they’re all different people I ran LinkSurvey 1.6 on the first list to see if there was any common links – which would indicate, if nothing else, these bloggers knew of each other and may have decided to trade links or linked to a common source.  Nada.

Good!  I’ll soon be writing all the blogs below and inviting them to checkout Blogspeedway.com
