- A great resource for SEO is www.HighRankingsAdvisor.com in my opinion the best thing to do in your SEO is write for people not search engines. Usually, if its good content useful content that people would like, then the search engines will like it too. That should be first and foremost. You'll still need to keep SEO in mind though, things like keywords, title tags, etc.

- Many beginners in SEO find it difficult to know quite who to believe when it comes to what SEO technigues work and which don't. They also often rely heavily on SEO software.
Here is something I uncovered recently regarding some misleading claims made for some software from the SEO Dr Andy Williams.
Dr Williams claimed that by using his software, the Fat Content Creator he had shown a connection between high ranking pages on Google because of themed content and those that don't rank highly.
