So who has the finger on the SEO pulse?

Imagine your starting point is to find an online resource that reports the latest trends and developments in SEO.

Imagine you then do a bit of googlisation and you come up with a list from everthing from Bruce Clay, SEO MOZ & of course sitepoint :wink:

But I would like to know please which resource do sitepoint members recommend as the best SEO news resource?

off topic: I just found out about google instant today but I would like to have got heads up on this first ie know when it was getting launched.

Any insights welcome?

Serio thank you an incredibly generous post, you are a true sitepoint angel :wink:

The RSS feeds is not something I thought about and to have the best of the bunch picked out for me is more than usefull.

Thank you again :slight_smile:

Well, I posted a thread about Google Instant here the day it was launched - so you can get some news here at SitePoint.

My job, and the job of my team at work is to stay abreast of all matters search so our company can be best positioned to take advantage of any changes as they occur in the search space. The way that we mainly do this is through the use of RSS - saving us hours of time keeping up to date with different writers, blogs, search engines and the like.

I believe there is a fair amount of IP (intellectual property) involved in a lot of what I do as a professional in the search space, but a recent conversation I had with a CTO of a well known online company made me rethink the approach of “keeping all the good stuff”. So inline with that, here is a list of my SEO RSS feeds (and I am attaching an OPML file as well).

  • This is pretty much a dump of my RSS feeds, I can’t vouch for how up-to-date they are or anything like that.
