Step 1 - review the Beginner's Guide to SEO. For each site you work on, open the guide and move from beginning to end. This process will improve the site and help you learn SEO.
Step 2 - read SEO updates from quality sources. I would suggest focusing on the SEOmoz blog, Matt Cutt's blog and videos and Google's official information. While other sources can offer additional information, there is more then enough content in the mentioned sources to keep you occupied for many months. Additionally, there is a ton of inaccurate SEO related information which is best not to be exposed to until you have the credible knowledge learned.
Step 3 - apply what you have learned. Try working with your sites, applying the techniques, measuring the results and making changes. You should also understand not all results can be measured in rankings alone. Click-Through-Rate, Conversion Rate, Bounce Rate and other metrics are very important factors.

Where to Look for a Standard 9-5 SEO Job
Hello, I'm looking for a standard 20-30 hour a week SEO job. I'd like to make $30/hour. My resume is here. So far I'm making a list of all the SEO companies in Boise, Idaho.

How do you learn SEO effectively, with so much information out there
I’m reasonably new to the SEO market, but I find it hard to keep up with all the information that comes out daily. I not always sure what to believe or who for that matter present company accepted (SEOmoz). But I’m sure I am not the only one who finds this difficult, does anyone know of accredited courses in SEO / Internet marketing, in the UK or distant learning that could give me a very good grounding. Or if anyone just has some good ideas on how to take all this information in, I would very much appreciate their views. Regards Kevin

SEO Certification + SEO Experience = Ideal SEO Consultant ???
Since the responsibilities of SEO have increased so much, I think there has to be a kind of basic industry wide Certification / Degree system. Many people may argue that experince is much more important than certification but how about like any other trade or profession; we have (1) SEO Certification PLUS (2) SEO Experience for the Internet Marketers. One of the reasons, I get so many calls from people that they claim they are SEO experts and they are trying to sell their services to us, but when you talk with them, you can easily tell that they do not have any knowledge about it. But they sell the service to business owners that do not understand SEO. It is very sad to see small business owners believe those people.. and I understand it is business owners responsibility to check the background & portfolio of SEO agency, but wouldn't it be nice to have another credential that they can ask "are you also certified SEO"? what do you think about "Certified SEO" or "Certified Internet Marketing Consultant" concept? can there be an international or national organization to coordinate and superwise the certifications? Thanks, Lewis
