i started seo about a year ago but i didn't know where to start. Some of my friends suggested i should watch brian dean or neil but i've always liked/understood better when reading so i was super happy when i was able to stumble upon this guide: https://vipearner.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-seo
It's great that you found a resource that resonates with your learning style. Brian Dean and Neil Patel are fantastic, but sometimes a thorough guide can provide the clarity we need.
I've always found exact match domains to work great, even now in 2024 of course you still need good content and backlinks which is what I'm working on now!
If you’re just starting SEO, it’s smart to dive into guides and learn from experts like Brian Dean or Neil Patel, but finding a resource that fits your learning style is key. The guide you mentioned sounds like a solid starting point for reading learners.
