HErudElS0m0, Learn SEO: The Top 10 Best Resources To Start With, People always ask “Dan, what’s the BEST way to learn SEO?” These are the top places I usually send people to build a FOUNDATION of terms and concepts of SEO.
This is the fastest way to learn the core essentials before getting overwhelmed by all the noise out there.
If you notice I do NOT recommend spending too much time on blog, news and headlines while you are building your foundation! They are often fleeting, biased or industry specific. Instead, start below.
