I agree there is a lot of information out there on seo, perhaps too much. This is what bogles the mind is the confusion. There are some standards and guidelines to follow but do not get bogged down by information overload.
I found the SE’s webmasters guidelines very useful. For every term/word you do not understand look it up. Its one thing to know quite another to understand.
But Seo takes time get a handle on it and it changes all the time. Some elements are constant which is good. Goodluck with the read and concentrate on the information at hand. Jumping around too much seeking other sources in my opinion will render your seo knowledge useless. greek39
