Learning SEO

Hi All

I would like to learn SEO both to promote my own website and to add to the services I can offer in the future.

What suggestions do you have for learning this subject.

Books, face to face tuition, online course etc

Which is the best course of action.

I do like the flexibility and simplicity of video tutorials and I have been using these to learn flash but does anyone know if there is such a thing for SEO

mamos

Just read through the seo section of the site - more than than enough to keep you busy

Yeh i wouldn't bother buying a book, not worth the money IMO.

I would take a at the many tutorials and questions on this site, then submit your site for a SEO critique

Hope this helps

Craig

You will be surprised to see your results

There are so many sites and blogs which are good for learning about seo. These sites tell you step-by-step procedure for learning seo. some of these websites are

1. http://www.seoelite.com/index2.htm
2. http://www.seobook.com/
3. http://www.seomoz.org/

and so many more

Coversely, be aware that lots of rumour exists in the SEO industry. There are many things I disagree with thats touted in SEO circles.

With SEO, there are some basics and once you have the basics, the rest really is nothing more than trial and error - trial and error is the only way. SE's constantly change their algo's, so dont be afraid to experiment.. sit back wait a month... evaluate, tweak some more.... rinse and repeat.

The best SEO can be learned while working on a live project. You can work as a beginner seo with some company, and I am sure you will pick up fast.

Books are good, but those books only contain information in a closed loops. You will get real leap only while working on a live project with some SEO professional who can guide you through various issues of SEO.

SEO is not a one day process, you need to be patient. There a lot of online resources available about SEO. Just what like Rob said, learn the basic of it and from there, you can have a good foundation of SEO...

your right its not a 1 day course its a 3 day course lol


SEO is an ongoing study, its just a matters of trail and error and keeping up to date with the latest techniques.

Yep , Quite true

You can gain real SEO knowledge only while working on live SEO projects. Books are just a guide which can tell you about what a GEAR BOX, HORN, BRAKE is all about.

You can only learn real driving while driving on a busy road on your own
In a similar fashion you need to test those skills while working on live projects.
