SEO Resources
- The obligatory link to Jon Payne's blog on SEO for Lead Generation. He's been doing this a long time and puts out good stuff, but he needs to make his archive more organized and searchable when he finds the time (this might not ever happen).
- Rae Hoffman's 'How to Learn SEO' post on Outspoken Media Blog is a good place to start your search education.
- Gotta give Lisa Barone credit for a majority of the remaining resources over there.
- Still waiting on Rhea Drysdale's 'Basic Link Building' post, I'm pretty sure it's coming.
- The SEOmoz 'Beginner's Guide to Search Engine Optimization'
- Bill Slawski's almost unbelievable archive of (in my opinion "technical") SEO blog posts.
- David Mihm's local SEO posts.
- Michael Gray's SEO Blog.
These people link out to lots of other great resources out there, so if you want to learn more just click on the links that they're dropping on their sites.
