Hello All,
I'm wondering what the best resources on Search Engine Optimization are? In terms of books, websites and even organizations that assess existing websites.
thanks!

- tstegart 18y agoNetConcepts case studies page: http://www.netconcepts.com/tag/case-studies http://www.netconcepts.com/tag/case-studies. I've found it to be the best site out there to learn what needs to be done without coming across as an infomercial, which a lot of SEO sites annoying do.
- procyon 18y agowww.google.com/webmasters/tools/ - Google webtools have been incredibly helpful for us. Also http://www.vanessafoxnude.com/ http://www.vanessafoxnude.com/ (no..it is not an adult site!) is a good blog on SEO
- tortilla 18y agohttp://www.seomoz.org/ http://www.seomoz.org/ http://www.seobook.com/ http://www.seobook.com/ Not really SEO, but I love this book: http://www.calltoactionbook.com/ http://www.calltoactionbook.com/
- brm 18y agoHere it is: http://www.seomoz.org/article/beginners-guide-to-search-engine-optimization http://www.seomoz.org/article/beginners-guide-to-search-engi... They call it the beginners guide but unless you're thinking about running an seo firm its more than you ever need.
- adnandot 18y agothanks!
- ra 18y agoIf you want the best, Aaron Wall's SEO Book is IMHO unsurpassed: http://training.seobook.com/ http://training.seobook.com/
- auston 18y agoSeconded.
- seobook 18y agoThanks for the recommendations guys. :) Have a great weekend!
- shabda 18y agoHey Aaron! Never knew you were here too. Btw, SEOBook training program+forum access costs 100$/pm, but is worth every penny. (We are a small bootstrapped firm, for which 100$ is not exactly peanuts, but what I learnt from this 100$ has had teremedus ROI)
- seobook 18y agoGlad you have got great ROI Shabda and I wish you the best of success with your start up.
- fallentimes 18y agohttp://SEOmoz.org http://SEOmoz.org (as mentioned by others) is certainly one of the best. http://Websitegrader.com http://Websitegrader.com provides a quick and dirty analysis of your site. The SEO Web Developer's Cheat Sheet is very handy: http://seomoz.org/user_files/SEO_Web_Developer_Cheat_Sheet.pdf http://seomoz.org/user_files/SEO_Web_Developer_Cheat_Sheet.p...
- makimaki 18y agoTry http://www.sphinn.com http://www.sphinn.com ... social news site specifically for SEO related topics.
- openfaves 18y agoGo to http://www.openfaves.com http://www.openfaves.com - new social bookmarking website
- papa 18y agoAnother great resource from SEOmoz that some might miss (b/c it's not exactly easy to find on their site) is their "Search Engine Ranking Factors" report (it's free). http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors The report tries to identify which SEO factors have consensus among a panel of 3-dozen or so SEO experts (as well as which factors are deemed dubious). It's a great way to get a large number of opinions on specific topics and try to focus in on a few high ROI factors (if you've got limited resources/time like I do).
- s3graham 18y agoWow, really seems like there's an awful lot of "tea leaf reading" going on. The human neural network being imperfectly trained by Google's algorithms, which probably have some sort of network learning involved. Funny stuff.
