    It goes without saying that those that write/read books sing their praises and those that blog know that their way is best and forum hounds know that is the way. Each format has it’s evangelists.

    You should consider exploring each of these avenues and more to truly get the most out of your path to understanding search engine optimization. Some methods are more appropriate for enthusiasts and others for those looking to become SEO professionals some day…. Obviously experience is the best teacher, but what other ways are there these days

    As you said it yourself, search engine marketing is a very dynamic field. Every day a few old things make a quite exit and at the same time new techniques replaces the vacant spot. What we say here today might not be relevant tomorrow. I have observed that the core of search marketing still lies in paid campaigns, search engine optimizations (including link building), email marketing, social media marketing (comparatively new) etc. All other activities are just an offshoot of these core activities and are destined to vary. The industry evolves, so does the techniques. Keep up or lose out!

    I usually stick to reading SEO blogs to find out the latest techniques. Things change so fast now that books become obsolete almost as soon as they're written.

    Trial and Error. It's how most of the veterans learned how to do it, we built sites, optimized them, and watched the logs closely over time as we built links and changed things. It's the only real way for you to learn SEO. Most ebooks don't offer much useful information.

    Maybe you are right but some books are great to be used at anytime

    Hi. I was wondering whether anybody has any good sites for SEO training. I am currently designing my website, so I'll be using in a few weeks to a few months time. I just want the basics and an excellent foundation to build my SEO skills on... although, I don't think I'll be developing my web developing skills that much; I'm only doing this for a small-scale site.

    Search engines often consider a dynamic URL as an infinite set of links.
