Seo

hi, everyone,

Is there some site which teaches SEO online. Or are there some books available that one can read through to learn search engine optimization.

I am a newbie and am interested in learning SEO.

Any help will be appreciated.

Tip# 1- Google search for "SEO" related stuff (you will find TONS)

Tip# 2- DO NOT BUY ANYTHING. All you need to know is free. (can be found using tip #1)

Tip# 3- Learn the basics and move along. There is very little you REALLY need to know. SEO is only 1% of a much much bigger pie.

That was of great help. Thank for your prompt reply.

Here are some of the resources I use. Some are free some are not.

Hope it helps a bit.

Mikey,

Not so much about specific phases they've helped me, but the overall principles of SEO. When we understand the few (albeit quickly changing) principles of SEO, we understand everything.

Imagine a carpenter who has the best and most expensive tools on the planet and has learnt a few techniques but doesn’t understand the principles of woodworking. He can only build a great-looking chair out of veneer and chipboard, but the chairs collapse as soon as someone sits on it. It doesn’t serve the purpose of a chair, but it look impressive.

There is a lot of free stuff to teach techniques. But if we want to learn the principles, and want to become serious players, I think we have to pay the piper.

So, why do people spend so much time and effort on SEO or marketing or anything else. Because they "learn" techniques not principles.

Thoughts?

Bald Dog it looks like your website isn't working.

Yes, you're right. Something has gone ape.s.h.i.t on my site, so I'd better take a closer look at that baby.

Thanks for letting me know.
