Finding  good websites for SEO means searching more than just casually settling for the first ones offered. The best ones will not only allow you to search for information to help pinpoint the best places to learn how to use SEO (Search Engine Technology) words to get your articles picked up by web searchers, but will show you quality over repetitive rhetoric, and truthfully, much nonsense.  it is also teaches the searcher more about the  words they use.  Of course it is no secret that those who choose this topic do so in order to learn more about the subject. Few are experts, but all do have slants and ideas on the subject that are oftentimes useful. 

In spite of all the hype written about it, SEO technology remains a fuzzy and an inexact computer science. It appears to have been put together by entrepreneurs who were long on technology and ideology, and short on facts and ways and means. That has changed, somewhat. Yet, even today, It remains illusive despite all  advertisements to the contrary. What is needed are some real steps on how to go about the process of making  online ventures more useful. What are the best online sites for concrete facts and figures and guidelines? 

Seomoz is the first offering from the selected web site,Search Engine Journal, addressing the request for best web sites to learn SEO. They found it to be their top choice for the most prominent site addressing the request for more information. This is a free Foxfire tool bar that allows users to access and gauge the most important keywords as they surf the web. It can be downloaded quickly. 

Search Engine Land is number six but since it was started by Danny Sullivan, the guru of good web page designing, the little spider missed his cue on this one. Shall we say it's stash of keywords were a mite amiss? It took the mighty, but little, tunnel vision robot longer to cash in on the word web site. No doubt had the wind rustled for a request having to do with web sites, this one would have been number one. The author takes on Google at this site and has much to say about their later, and supposedly faster searches. 

Google speaks for themselves in their SEO guidelines. Their topic is the seventh listing. Basically, of course, they are defending their position against those who accuse them of blazing their own search trails and ignoring the majority of others. This is one site where clearly all Google user should go to learn how to research; it is also an educational site for the online sites who want to know how to use better methods to create a heavier traffic flow with resultant profitability. Below they offer their own warnings about how to use their site. 

"Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a "special relationship" with Google, or advertise a "priority submit" to Google. There is no priority submit for Google. In fact, the only way to submit a site to Google directly is through our Add URL page or by submitting a Sitemap and you can do this yourself at no cost whatsoever."

Search Engine Guide is a series of articles written by those in the know who offer their expertise to help others learn keywords and their placement. There are few facets of browsing and better methods of searching left unmentioned or written about. This place needs bookmarked so interested learners can come back again and again to learn more about the illusive subject of how better to sell, learn, get an audience, take a stand, and to traffic more intelligent, honorably and with more wisdom, online.
