Founded by Rand Fishkin and Gillian Muessig in 2004, Moz Blog is an excellent source of information for multiple aspects of online marketing, but their main focus is SEO.

While the software gives you a foundation, their blog helps you build on your SEO by sharing helpful information about both Technical and Content SEO, plus how to read analytics, optimize your ecommerce site, and make the most out of WordPress. While there’s useful information for everyone, Yoast is specifically geared for beginners or those who may not have a strong SEO foundation.
8. The Raven Blog

19. Magento Blog
If your website is built on the Magento ecommerce platform, the Magento blog is where you need to go to find information on how to get the most out of your website. Magento tends to be used by larger businesses; much of their information is either positioned to be about how to best use the platform or to solve problems larger businesses tend to face.
20. Shopify Blog
The ecommerce platform Shopify was once explicitly designed for small businesses to build an ecommerce store easily and without the need for in-depth knowledge of web design and development. While large ecommerce companies are turning to Shopify for their platform, Shopify’s blog hasn’t forgotten their roots.

21. Chief Marketing Technologist

Like Shopify and Woocommerce, Bigcommerce is an ecommerce blog that is specifically targeted to ecommerce businesses. They tend to have more intermediate and advanced articles than their main competitors and articles related to using and leveraging the platform to get the best results.
