Ronaldo (1)Bloggista’s Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009
Honestly, my bloghopping activity was reduced to just 5% than the bloghopping I made last year. That’s a lot of online hours lost and I missed the opportunities of meeting new bloggers and socialize with them.
Good thing I still know a few blogs which I think are worthy to be nominated for this year’s Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs, a project of the ever energetic Ms. Janet Toral of InfluentialBlogger.net. This project aims to recognize the new bloggers blogs (those who started blogging in blogs started on May 2008 up to the present).
This is still a work in progress, and I welcome suggestions and recommendations from you dear readers (After some deep thoughts, and a random selection, I finally got my complete list of 10 blogs to nominate. Now, here are my nominees for the 2009 Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs.
1. Dear Bloggery by no other than the Snow White of Blogosphere, Ms. Snow. I could bet that she visits my blog more often than I do. LOL. But its not about her being nice and a true friend both online and offline – its about her writing skills and being articulate that draws me to visit her blog.
2. Fatherblogger by my friend Angel. This man as amazingly articulate and really spends hours of composing and reviewing his posts before hitting the “publish” button.
3. The Struggling Blogger by Roy, a prolific writer and who actually owns dozens of blogs. He juggles his time from being a good father and mother to his children, a reliable provider and a very productive blogger.
4. Millionaire Acts by another loyal Bloggista visitor, Tyrone. He writes very well, and his blog niche is something I can’t do myself which is about Entrepreneurship, Personal Finance, Investments and Self Motivation.
5. Agile Deals by a good friend of mine, who’s already at 95% of his goal from buying a bimmer out of blogging money – whew!
6. Zorlone by the Doc Z. I don’t know him personally but a visit to his blog gives you a fresh look at lots of things through his poetry and writing prowess. I always admire people with great writing abilities – something I obviously lack.
7. Writing to Exhale by Jan Geronimo. I knew Jan through another great emerging influential blogger Elmot of Animotivation now transferred to a new cozy home at Pinoysoundingboard.com. Jan also shows great talent in writing. Too bad Elmot is not qualified – I knew this guy since last year when he started visiting my blog regularly and sent me messages through my contact form sharing me his plans to start a blog.
8. Foreclosure Philippines by Jay Castillo. Another unique niche blogging about investments in foreclosed properties. I bet Jay’s hitting a jackpot with this niche considering the keyword “foreclosed properties” is one of the high yielding keywords in adsense.
9. Tales from the Mom Side by Dee. Well Ms. Dee won the random “raffle” but I didnt regret she got the last spot. I admire mom bloggers and Dee is one of those mom bloggers who find the blogosphere to be a great place to be productive and perhaps make money online – the niche Bloggista.com is trying to make a mark.
10. And lastly, the group blog that made the loudest noise this year, complete with parada, drums and bugles with exotic dancers complete with pompoms and fireworks from libentador to watosi with a loud bang – Barrio Siete! LOL, this is the group blog to watch knowing they got the Reyna at its helms.
Will update this post on July 30, the last day of submission. So there goes my complete list of the Top Ten Emerging Blogs of 2009. I also like to mention those blogs who did not make it to the top 10 but are still worthy to be recognized and deserve some good love link. They are http://www.WebBusinessWiz.com, http://gewgawwritings.blogspot.com/, http://jahangiri.us/news/, http://mariancalago.blogspot.com, http://socialmediaphilippines.com/, http://pataygutom.com, http://kelvinonian.com/ and http://www.adaphobic.com/.
Good luck to all of you!

hi B!
sent you email thru your contact form
thank again!
Wow! Thanks bro, for accomplishing your own list of nominees despite the hectic schedule you have.
Too bad, I’m out of this race…but I am actually planning of coming up with another blog for next year’s contest? What do you think? Maybe next year you wont be disappointed anymore, for I could be on your list already, ehehehe!
Looking forward to next year elmot, who knows, magkaron din tayo ng ating sariling Group Blog para may kapitbahay na sila Kapitana. hehe.
Got to update pala may post – the nominees are not the bloggers but the blogs. Hehe.
ahhah! yeah, hope to be included in the race next year. readying myself as early as now, eheheh! excited??? ehehe
group blog, nice idea!!!
Thanks a lot for listening to my uber blogging buddy and spiritual adviser Elmot. Very much appreciated, bro. “,)
Hehehe, I have been considering you since the start Jan, and of course, why did I forget Jay as well. LOL, now that makes one slot to fill up, whew!
Can I nominate 15? Hehe.
Really? That’s a relief. I thought Bro Elmot twisted your arms. Great – that means I don’t owe Bro Elmot a pizza then. Ahehehe. It’s you I owe pala. “,)
Suggestion: If you can’t make up your mind today please submit this nomination at Janette Toral’s blog just so you beat the deadline. That’s the important thing anyway. When you do that you’d still have until Aug. 3 to complete your post.
Thanks a lot. You can’t go wrong with Dee. Just saying. “,)
Hey Jan, thanks a lot for the pitch!
Hi,
I see you still have some spots left for the nomination. I hope you will consider my blog. Thank you. Have a nice day!
I’ve been a lurker of your blog Ms. Dee. Im so impressed by your passion to blog. Wow. Now Im giving myself a hard time deciding. Hmmm, I may resort to toss coin or raffle. Hehe.
Hi Bloggista,
By the time I’m typing this, I can see that you’ve decided already and voted for me – YEHEY! Thanks so much! I really, really appreciate it! Thanks from the bottom of my heart. And thanks too for visiting my blog. And thanks for the kind words. You’ll be seeing more of me here.
lol i am here too, make a comment
Great list of Blogs you have here, stumbled across some great topics browsing through them. I started a blog November 2008 would be great to see it sitting there, hoping you will consider it. Thanks

Arren
Wow Arren, that’s a lot of useful info right there in your blog. A good resource for blogging beginners and newbies like me Hehe. You’re included in the raffle draw.
Thanks for the consideration bloggista, hope you have one of those big barrels to through all these entries into
Hi Roel, thanks a lot for the nomination. I hope my blog would still get into the Top 10 despite the stiff competition.
I admire your dedication bro – you really are doing great with your niche. I wish you luck – but whether you or any one of my list make it or not, doesn’t matter at all. Somehow we could all be influential in our little ways too. Hehe. Teka, kahit little, la ata ako makita sa blog na to para maging influential. LOL
Hi fellow blogger!
Thank you for nominating some of my friends for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2009 (Zorlone, Jan, Angel, and Roy). They truly deserve such nomination.
BTW, you still have two spots left. Can I suggest these two great bloggers to fill up those spots – Jena of Gewgaw Writings – http://gewgawwritings.blogspot.com/ and Holly of It’s all a matter of Perspective: Mine – http://jahangiri.us/news/ .
Try to check out their blogs and get to know them better. You won’t regret it.
Thanks so much!
MJ (www.amarosh.blogspot.com)
Thanks for dropping by MJ. Hope you’re having fun doin the Thriller and Stut stuff. LOL, just kidding.
Appreciate the suggestions there. I have visited these blogs too. Added them to the raffle draw.
Hi Roel, nice list of nominees you got here! A lot of them are also on my list which I have yet to finish writing, been very busy lately. I shall finish and post my list of nominees tonight.
Anyway, I hope you will also consider including my blog on your list. Thanks bro!
Hi Jay – of course you should be part of the list hehe. The gang will not be complete without you.
That leaves one spot right there available – will do a raffle nalang bec. all the other blogs are equally worthy as well.
If only I can nominate 15! Hehe.
Wow, thanks a lot bro, I really appreciate it! Salamat!!!
BTW, I have finally finished my own list which can be found here: http://www.foreclosurephilippines.com/2009/07/my-top-10-emerging-influential-blogs-for-2009.html
Thanks again for the nomination! Re: foreclosed properties as high yielding keywords in adsense, how I wish that would come true, and become consistent! I guess the jackpot would be my being able to get foreclosed listings directly from banks that send their lists after they found out about my site, and finding good deals.
Thank you so much for nominating Dear Bloggery and Barrio Siete. It’s an honor to be a part of your Top 10 list!
The pleasure and honor is mine, Ate Snow (*wink). Hehe.
wow. congrats to all of those who are nominated for top 10 influencial blogs. They deserve it because I have visited their blogs and its nice.
I hope you will consider my blog too… http://mariancalago.blogspot.com
