Best reads for a beginner in SEO

I'm just getting my feet wet in the world of SEO and would really like to learn as much as possible. I've ordered a couple books off Amazon and read through the first thread on this forum by Dan (or Dave? I can't remember) as well as the SEO start guide by Google. Aside from that I've bookmarked and started to read the SEOmoz beginning guide to SEO. I was just curious how you all got started and what the best way to go about it is and/or anymore suggested reads.

I've always found forums to be the best when it comes to learning so I'm hoping to learn a good deal while I lurk and pick at some brains over here too. I appreciate any advice or tips!

 

First, try to read many discussion as possible.

Thanks Tom!

 

Reading is probably the best answer. Pick up some e-books. Bible of SEO (any edition) will be an advantage. check it out here: https://app.box.com/s/sx2t3jxwiug2h2plnx7t

 

This is the main blog for all internet marketing experts "http://moz.com/blog" "http://www.searchenginejournal.com " these are the best sites where you can find some good reads about latest SEO techniques.

 

Why not learn from Google themselves?

In SEO, practical knowledge is very important, you can see here, people/webmasters who have passed even 5 years, they don't have clear understanding on what to do and what not to do, so that they can make a business plan... if you gain practical knowledge, if you have good confidence this is all seo for you.

I would say, whatever you have learned in discussion boards, try utilizing them by creating a blog on free blogging platform and test where you need to improve.

 

I got here lots of material for seo work.
