Dream big SEO is just a stepping stone to be a SEM which will give you more knowledge when it comes to marketing on the net.
You could search internet for lots of ideas, there are websites that offer free ebooks that discusses SEO
friend ,just go to google,which ,i think,can offer some info you need, reading more is a base . do not confuse
Why don't you start creating a simple website of your own and try to apply step by step the different techniques in SEO, just like the saying goes...Experience is the best Teacher! Goodluck!
Go by steps for on page and off page optimization and you will certainly come up with the results. Good Luck!
I just made crappy sites then just self learnt, and I'm not the best at SEO but I have a wide idea on how it works.
I have read tons of ebooks, usually they don't help me rank higher, since i am too lazy to act on them. I want to do some work on my sites over spring break since i have time, it will take a lot of work and practice, you will only learn by doing, although ebooks may get you started. This is the same for a lot of things in life, learn the method and keep practicing. If you make mistakes, learn from them!!
