What sources do you use to keep on top of SEO news?
-
I want to try building an RSS feed of SEO news... but not wanting to find myself drowning in materials
As such, looking for a short list of recommendations for keeping on top of SEO developments – the impetus is that I'm still discovering changes that happened 2, 3, even 5 years ago, and I want to try and catch these things as they happen.
Thinking something actually from Google may be on the list, but some of these sources are pretty on top of things!
Seroundtable.com also comes to mind.
But what do you use to keep informed?
Thanks

Hi there,
We use many of the above mentioned resources, but also follow Occam's Razor: http://www.kaushik.net/avinash/ by Avinash Kaushik - it's not 100% dedicated to SEO, but he does have many good tips and thoughts on the topic - well worth following, in my opinion!
Good luck with your feed!

Hi
I would advise you to set up a feedly, do a search for some relevant topics such as SEO, PPC, digital marketing etc and link in all the sites you feel would be relevant to you. This then presents you with a single page with all their newest blog posts/ news stories.
It makes it very easy to keep up to date.
Hope this helps

Don't forget about: State of Digital, Search Engine People, Econsultancy. They're not pure SEO news sites like a couple of others mentioned before but they tend from time to time also to cover some new aspects of SEO.

I have a feedly account with most of the sites mentioned here piping into it. I also look at a few platform specific ones, or ecommerce specific ones like elastic commerce. But those are mainly because I deal in ecommerce.

For tactics and technique there are tons of blog that update on regular basis. I would suggest you to keep a close eye on Inbound.org and you will have all the best content in the digital marketing niche for that very day.
For SEO news and what is going on here are some of the blogs that I would recommend:
Forums include, Webmaster World Forum.
Hope this helps!

Negative SEO yes/no?
We receive links from fake websites, these website are copy's from real websites that link to us, but sometimes the links are changes, as for example one link is called 'tank weapon with hitler', we are a insurance comparison website (a bit of topic). The real websites that link to us are copied and placed on .ga .tk etc domains: For example: wahlrsinnsa.ga, loungihngsa.ga, pajapritosa.cf, rgeitsportsa.cf, sospesvoasa.tk I received spam links on other domains with comments spam etc, this doesnt really work, but in this case we really suffer in our rankings (from position 1 to 5 etc). Not sure if this is negative SEO and if this is really the reason we lost some rankings, but it's a bit of a coincidence the domains come in google webmaster in the same period we suffer a downgrade in our rankings. My question: Is this negative SEO, or is it something automatic. And do I need to disavow the links/domains? The real versions of the websites (on other domains with .nl) give the website autority.

Why isn't Moz recognizing meta description tags using SLIM?
Hey All, I keep getting reports from Moz that many of my pages are missing meta description tags. We use SLIM for our website, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same issue getting Moz to recognize that the meta descriptions exist. We have a default layout that we incorporate into every page on our site. In the head of that layout, we've included our meta description parameters: meta description ='#{current_page.data.description}' Then each page has its own description, which is recognized by the source code http://fast.customer.io/s/viewsourcelocalhost4567_20140519_154013_20140519_154149.png Any ideas why Moz still isn't recognizing that we have meta descriptions? -Nora, Customer.io

Unique page URLs and SEO titles
www.heartwavemedia.com / Wordpress / All in One SEO pack I understand Google values unique titles and content but I'm unclear as to the difference between changing the page url slug and the seo title. For example: I have an about page with the url "www.heartwavemedia.com/about" and the SEO title San Francisco Video Production | Heartwave Media | About I've noticed some of my competitors using url structures more like "www.competitor.com/san-francisco-video-production-about" Would it be wise to follow their lead? Will my landing page rank higher if each subsequent page uses similar keyword packed, long tail url? Or is that considered black hat? If advisable, would a url structure that includes "san-francisco-video-production-_____" be seen as being to similar even if it varies by one word at the end? Furthermore, will I be penalized for using similar SEO descriptions ie. "San Francisco Video Production | Heartwave Media | Portfolio" and San Francisco Video Production | Heartwave Media | Contact" or is the difference of one word "portfolio" and "contact" sufficient to read as unique? Finally...am I making any sense? Any and all thoughts appreciated...

How Is Your Approach Towards Adult SEO?
I would like to know how SEOMoz community members approach adult SEO. How do you approach a project when you get one (if you do it that is). If you dont do adult SEO, why do you not do it? Is it because it's much more difficult than normal SEO or do you not want to associate yourself with that industry?
