Resources for SEO beginners
Between adding new employees at Netvantage and the growing number of presentations and speaking engagements I end up doing, I've found myself referring people to a lot of tried and true resources. So today I figured I'd share a handful of resources for SEO newbies. These are all pretty straightforward, highly actionable, and written in non-SEO speak for the most part. Hopefully you'll find some valuable elements here to bookmark:
15 minute SEO. This has been around for a long while, and for the most part, it's pretty accurate. I love starting people with this when they're just getting started because it really only takes 15 minutes and it does a pretty good job of covering a lot of ground of SEO basics.
Hobo's DIY SEO Guide. At one point I actually thought long and hard about creating my own SEO guide, and then I read Shaun's at Hobo SEO and I realized he had it pretty well covered. How do you know their kung fu is good? Matt Cutts gave their new SEO book a Sphinn...high praise indeed.
The Internet Marketing Handbook. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE SEOMoz, and if you ever get me going on their tools I'll probably talk your ear off. Even if you don't have a membership, there's an IMMENSE amount of information to be had in this guide, and you can pick and choose which path you'd like to follow to learn more. Not only that, but there are also a handful of awesome tools you can use as well.
Thanks for the link
The link in my signature is to a more comprehensive beginners guide on the site too. That’s the first time I’ve noticed your Page Title…. insomniac indeed, I can feel you lol

I have to update my own bookmarks apparently! Thanks.
I overhauled the whole blog recently and I couldn’t help but poke fun at myself for my 3am blogging…I think I’m working on your time.
And I yours lol… maybe we should switch jobs for a few weeks
