SEO Noob Seeking Roadmap

[robousy]

Hey folks,

I'm a noob in the field of SEO but plan to spend the next few weeks/months learning as much as I can.

I'm trying to figure out where to start. I'm either going to:

1. Sign up for the seobook.com course.
2. Pick up a book from Barnes and Noble.
3. Listen to a jewel of wisdom from one of you.
4. All of the above.

Where would you suggest I start please? Is SEObook a good place, or can anyone recommend a decent book to start with?

Thanks in advance.

Rich

Hey i haven't read any good books about seo. I would however also recommend the richest man in Babylon, even though it has no relevance to the subject. I do SEO for my Job i am fairly new at it also im still in my first month. I would say the best way to learn is to find a job in the field. But start with the grunt work show that you are a good worker than move up from their. If you would like to see an example of a good SEO company the check out candyboxmarketing.com but if you are wanting to satart your own company then you should consider thinking of hiring someone like mindshape.com to help develope your motto's help with PR and stuff like that. I hope this helps... (also notice that Mind shape has a good page rank and is one of the top ones on google)

There are alot of SEO firms on this forum who can offer their services. I don't want to steal their fire or business but I start my first business with learning SEO. To be honest SEO is very funny it is an art not a science. But I use WebCEO or SEO Software by Web CEO :: Search Engine Optimization Software / Complete SEO Toolkit for Website Optimization, Promotion and Maintenance to help manage everything. It is inexpensive and has a great support team behind them. Also this was about 6 years ago and I don't using anything anymore and haven't used them are awhile, so things may have changed with them.
