Primers for SEO

Evening folks. I'm trying to read up a bit about the topic of SEO so I do some of my own optimisation for my own projects. My problem isn't finding guides or articles which help explain how SEO works, it's finding trusted sources where SEO was proven to work.

Do any of you folks have good examples, guides or primers I could read?

 

As a startup I'd recommend Googles own seo guidelines, after this follow seobook or seomoz

 

Buy the seobook by Aron Walls ..

 

I think my Ebook can help you, I have tested and proven. This ebook I created base on my experience "how to be google top ten" I do some SEO on page and SEO off page. Most of my post is in the google top ten search result it means I get more traffic and more money. I can not write my website url right now because i am new here, I must wait until 7 day to type url, if you are interested PM me.

 

Hello,

I would recommend you to read Google webmaster guidelines, Search Engine Guide and Search Engine Land. I hope these sites will help you to do good SEO.

Thanks

 

I suggest you begin your SEO journey thru reading SEO books.

Aaron Wall's SEO Book is a good one, better start with it

 

I suggest to read the posts here first. Actually there a lot of excellent tips here about SEO. If you do need a book, Aron Walls is not bad choice to start up.

 

This is a great guide, it will help oyu start up on being an seo, then as you search for more answers joining forums would gradually increase your current knowledge about seo...

 

I recommend this guy, Randy Brown - http://success.grownupgeek.com/

 

You can try Google Webmaster Central.

 

I would recommend the same. But its just a guideline not a HOW TO DO thing. Search on Google and you shall find plenty.

Regards,

 

Thanks for everyone's contributions. I've awarded rep for those who didn't try sell me an ebook. Much appreciated folks!

 

Well you can't give rep yet because of your post count, but its the thought that counts

 

Weird, I did it and it went through. Maybe it's just discounted or something.

 

Hi,
when you are trying to find out the process of SEO, i kindly suggest you the google guidelines

 

there are a lot of trusted resources that are available in the internet but you are probably right which would be the trusted one but i strongly suggest that you try to read each and every resources that you can get in the internet. i do think that there is some pointers to be learn from those resources and try to read a lot from this forum there are a lot of good seo in this forum.

 

Seo moz, seo book, search engine journal, search engine land, sphinn. These are great places to find articles on SEO by other seo's.

 

I like the articles at SEOMOZ. but mind you: SEO is a proffession - not saomething you can just read a little bit about....

 

I suggest google web master, searchengineguide, seo, seobook

 

I beg to differ. Yes it is a profession if it's your livelyhood. But if you are a small or even medium sized business owner/employee, there is a lot you can do yourself to achieve good SERP's for niche keywords. Many companies invest very little or employ bad SEO companies, so it can be quite easy to achive some resonable results yourself.

Just follow best practice from google, don't expect it all to come at once and don't get sucked in by getting sidetracked chasing PR, it's the results that count!
