FORUMS      

Visiting a forum about search marketing or online marketing is always a good idea if you have a question. But beware! Don’t believe everything you read in a forum. There are people posting to forums who work for companies that make the product they are praising. There are some who are deliberately spreading disinformation. Are there are plenty of people who are just plain wrong. Give more credence to moderators than to regular posters.

HighRankings.com  An excellent forum focused on search engine optimization. Closely moderated by well-known SEO expert Jill Whalen. A friendly forum where you can feel comfortable if you are new to search marketing.

SearchEngineWatch.com   A prominent and influential forum led by search marketing and SEO expert Danny Sullivan. Has many sub-forums on various aspects of search engine optimization.

SEARCH MARKETING AND SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION TRAINING

If you want to jump a little deeper into search marketing, and learn how to do it yourself for your small or home-based business, we highly recommend (based on personal experience) Dan Thies’s company called SEO Research Labs.  Not only are Dan’s classes really useful, they are web and telephone-based seminars, so you don’t have to leave your home or office (or your home office).
