    Hey guys and gals,

    I'd love to hear what you think of my new SEO Blog that primarily caters to people who are new to SEO (hence the name).

    My goal is to provide easy SEO techniques and tips to the average joe blogger/webmaster.

    So far, traffic is great, and I'm getting an awesome response from old blogging friends!

    I think it looks great! A few things you may want to consider:

    1) While the RSS feed icon is becoming more and more, you may want to put "Subscribe!" or similar under the icon, for the super-noobs. My newest site had the same set-up as yours, with just an icon, but I found that adding a text-based "Subscribe!" link improved the rate of new subs.
    2) It may be worth swapping the "Recent Comments" block with "Tags". In my experience, the tags block is clicked more frequently than recent comments, especially after there are many keywords shown.

    Obviously, both of those issues are strictly personal preference. Overall, it looks great, and I've bookmarked it. ;)

    Nice clean design. I like the header and good use of white space. Good start with the articles. Now all you need to do is keep it up which is hte hard part. Keep adding 2-3 articles on the subject every day and maintain the keyword density and not only should you get a very good page rank, you will also start climbing the seo rankings. Oh and great information for newbies although I think you should also try to add stuff for the experts as I find that lacking.

    More pictures of what you are talking about would be helpful because alot of what your blog is saying is foreign to me. Also how long did it take you to get started?

    A good SEO blog should include topics that users are looking for, example tips to find targeted niche, how to write or find unique content fast and so on.... The "resources" is recommend to have some simple desciption about the site.

    Guys, thanks so much for the compliments! I definitely plan on using more graphics...but to be honest, I'm just a bit blown away by how hot some of these articles are becoming.

    Stumbleupon has sent nearly 4000 hits today, and just got on delicious front page.....gonna be a fun day :)

    Well....I do work as an SEO for my full time job, so I'm definitely aware of content = traffic (good content, that is).

    Thanks again for the rave reviews, and have a great night!
