SEO UPDATES

I was reading Eric Ward’s website the other day and I’m really intrigued by what he does and the way he goes about it. He’s pretty well knonw as an SEO/linking guru and on his site he talks about his philosophy of linking, how it should not be automated and should reall invovle a lot of thought and personalization for each inidvidual site.

I am just getting into SEO and I’m trying to study and work at the same time, but I think this is a really interesting site and something all of us should think about as we embark on or carry out search engine optimization. There are so many quick-fix “solutions” out there, but nothing beats the quality of links searched for and built by hand.

His articles run the gamut from the legality of links to how to select sites to send link requests to pay-per-click, RSS and tons more. If you’re an SEO novice like I am or a more seasoned pro, there’s probably something useful for you on this site, even if it’s just a reminder that building links the right way can almost be an art form.
