4 Top SEO-Blogs & Their Priceless Resources Pt. 3

In today’s post, we bring together the third install­ment in the “4 Top SEO Blogs & Their Price­less Resources” series. Just like in Pt.1 and Pt.II, in Part III — we explore yet another diverse and resource­ful web­site, that’s just over­flow­ing with information.

Most of their resources are for paid users — but every now and then; they dish out some very use­ful infor­ma­tion for free on their blog. You might rec­og­nize them from the quite large, yet out­stand­ingly iconic header…

SEO­Book is in my opin­ion, is your one-stop SEO resource. Why? It has a con­stantly updated blog, a friendly com­mu­nity within its forums and even extra paid-content, for those that want to stretch the mile.

They explore every­thing from uti­liz­ing Twit­ter to Search Engine Mar­ket­ing to even more philo­soph­i­cal debates; like do you mas­ter the obvi­ous? It’s absolutely com­pul­sory for any seri­ous web-master to fol­low them as a resource­ful blog and to be kept updated on the lat­est SEO stuff.

• Which Form of Adver­tis­ing is More Effi­cient & Effective?

If you’ve read Alex’s rel­a­tively recent post on How he Real­ized Ban­ner Ads are Harm­ful to our Com­mu­nity you will know how impor­tant it is to pick the proper form of adver­tis­ing. Dif­fer­ent blogs respond dif­fer­ently, to dif­fer­ent forms. Even though the most com­mon type is the 125×125 Ad blocks, they were quite the dis­as­ter for us.

So, what’s the way around this? Well SEO­Book has a cou­ple of tech­niques but Cus­tomer Rec­om­men­da­tions seems to be the most actively pro­moted. If you did not get what I just said — that’s okay; you have to read the post first

• I Wish I Knew Then What I Know Now

How many times have you heard some­one say this? Quite often, I would pre­sume. We all have a start­ing point, a point where we know noth­ing about a spe­cific point — and even­tu­ally with time; we learn about it. This is obvi­ously a nat­ural process, but more often than not — we try to do some­thing we aren’t quite totally sure about yet.

In this case, it’s mar­ket­ing and grow­ing your busi­ness. Now it’s not pos­si­ble to know every­thing but we should know a fair bit before even attempt­ing to ven­ture out on our own. When we don’t, we usu­ally are con­fronted with prob­lems that we can’t solve.

This is why I love such posts where web­mas­ters, inter­net mar­keters or even every­day blog­gers go over their mis­takes and their solu­tions to them; because we can all learn from it.

• Brand Con­sid­er­a­tions When Choos­ing Domain Name

When you choose a domain for new blog or site, it’s absolutely crit­i­cal that you have a rough idea where you want to go with it. It’s no good reg­is­ter­ing “www.books.com” for $0.99 and then real­iz­ing you want to blog about your new PlaySta­tion 3 games. So, in this post — about con­sid­er­ing your brand name — they go over some of the basic things you will need to con­sider. Undoubt­edly, it will help you pick­ing a proper and use­ful domain name.

When Alex and I first started with this blog (Now titled Blo­gus­sion) we had cou­ple of ses­sions where we dis­cussed pos­si­ble names for the blog. Some­thing that was unique but more impor­tantly; it was brand-able. It’s not the eas­i­est thing in the world, because the pos­si­bil­i­ties are just lim­it­less — but end of the day; you need to pick one.

KaBOOOOM!

Just like the pre­vi­ous posts in this series, I’m only able to go through just a cou­ple of the posts/guides each respec­tive blog pro­vides. They have much, much more good­ies and you can check them out over at SEO­Book.

Stay tuned for Part 4 — where we explore the won­ders of SEOChat!
