It has been a long time coming, in fact nearly 3 weeks – since I wrote the first installment of “4 Top SEO-Blogs and Their Priceless Resources.” If you missed it, in the first installment – I went over several key resources from SearchEngineWatch.
In Pt. 2, I’ll be taking a look over at SEOmoz. Quite frankly, I’m pretty excited about this one because it just has loads and loads of good solid information. Especially their extremely detailed guides on some aspects of Search Engine Optimization. Hopefully, they’ll help you and do some good for your blog – one way or another!
SEOmoz is managed by a team of 18-dedicated writers, that all have specific strengths in Search Engine Optimization. It’s definitely one of the most effect sources of information for any internet marketer out there.
It doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned professional or a complete new-comer; SEOmoz will always have something for everyone to learn from.
They have been online for as long as I can remember and since Day 1 (looking at their archives) they have produced some really good content. Almost every aspect of Search Engine Optimization has been explored, and all of it – in terms us non-experts can understand.
So, let’s take a look at some of their most critically acclaimed content – shall we?
SEOmoz
In this article, Danny Dover puts together one of the most useful check-lists for any new web-masters. Starting from the very beginning of learning the basic WYSIWYG System to installing your Google Analytics’ codes to tracking your site’s performance. It’s a handy little check-list to keep by your side, when launching your first few blogs/websites.
By following Danny’s simple steps, you can assure yourself that you are in fact – covering all the basic requirements of launching a successful blog. Sometimes, in the rush of things or when we are clouded by the excitement of launching a new website – we tend to forget the basics or omit a step.
These can prove to be quite critical and you might find yourself in trouble later down the track. So, just to be sure – keep this check-list by your side when you launch your first few blogs.
Contributed to by over 40 SEO Experts, including the likes of Jeremy Schoemaker, Joost de Valk , Elisabeth Osmeloski and many more big-names – Search Engine Rank Factors V2 is the most comprehensive SEO Guide on the internet.
No questions ask, personally I think this guide has more information than 90% of the “SEO Blogs” out there on the internet. Everything you need to know about SEO – from the basic requirements to the advanced techniques to even the techniques you should be avoiding.
It’s a must read for every SEO activist or blogger that is interested in reaching the higher SERPs. It’s quite a lengthy read, and might take a few days even to take in all the information but it’s definitely worth it.
I found this resource from SEOmoz to be quite useful, because every now and then we all forget things – but this little cheat sheet can do you wonders. In brief, it quickly explains some of the most common terms that bubble up in Search Engine Optimization practices.
Everything from your header-tags to your .htaccess coding to even a quick note on URL Canonicalization. It’s one of those things that you should have bookmarked – because when the time comes you’ll just kick yourself in the bum because something so simple can easily make you waste hours researching for.
These are just three of the articles that SEOmoz offers and there’s too many good articles for me to omit. Therefore, I’ll let you browse their archives and search their content – hopefully you can gain from their mountain of knowledge.
Stay tuned for Part 3 – where we explore the wonders of SEOBook!

I’m an SEO noob too, so it’s perfect for me too.
Thank you for you SEO advice. I have only used the Word Press all in one SEO pack so far. I think I may need to spread out and do more.
May I ask what keywords do you guys aim for getting good search rankings for?
