The Best Niche Social Media News Sites Right Now

April 1st by

Last week I gave a presentation at SES NY and included a list of 35 niche social media sites that we participate in regularly. Lots of people have asked me for this list so I decided to put it here. The following 35 sites are broken down into 8 different categories and each site has an active community and can help you get exposure. These sites aren’t going to send you 50,000 visitors but they will send you targeted traffic & links (if you’re content is good).

There have been excellent similar lists like this but these are the ones I like and think are worth your time. For more about my process behind finding sites like this – check out this Search Engine Land article I wrote last year How To Identify & Target The Right Niche Social Media Sites.

Do you have a good niche social media news site that I missed? Or have experiences with any of the ones above? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments. And while you’re at it, why not follow me on Twitter?

    Great list. Thank you for posting – the business list is particularly interesting. I didn't know that there were so many investing sites with social components.

    Companies that are overwhelmed with information from their social programs should check out beRelevant.com (Fair disclosure: I am co-founder of beRelevant). We gather and prioritize ideas in a conversational format.
