Top SEO Blogs Search engine optimization makes your website more readable to both search engine and your readers. It involves a variety of practices that drive traffic to your site. Because search algorithms are constantly changing, and lots of “SEOs” are selling snake oil, it is important to use reliable and frequently updated resources to stay on top.

Here are the Best SEO Blogs I have found on the web, ranked in descending order:

1. SEOmoz
This was the most useful resource I used when learning about SEO. A combination of a fresh and unique blog, SEO tools, and community feedback make this a go to place for search engine marketing.

8. Bruce Clay
Bruce Clay’s blog is actually authored by two talented writers: Virginia Nussey and Susan Esparza. Although not as frequently updated as other blogs, the quality, length, of usefulness of each post make up for this.
