Finding key information in marketing articles is essential for you to keep up to date in regards to marketing your website. There are many ways to find seo marketing information which include articles, blogs, forums, and newsletters (or also called ezines). There is a lot of information to sort through in regards to seo marketing. Keep in mind that there is more than one way to skin a cat. Consequently, you may find conflicting information. Some of it will simply be 2 different approaches that both work, while on other occassions some of the advice that you get will be dead wrong. So how do you sort out the information that is good from the bad? Well, even seasoned veteran webmasters can struggle with this at times, but this should not stop you from moving ahead. Let me share with you some of the things that I would look for in regards to sorting out seo information marketing articles - Fact from Fiction. - Does the information in the article sound credible and look professional? How is the grammer, spelling, appearance, etc. Most professional seo's who know what they are talking about also care enough to make anything that they put out there for others to read to be professional. They will have run a spell check and grammer check.
- Are there any credentials on the author in the article or cited above or below the article? Those who know how to market on the internet generally learn from others who are certified seos or are certified themselves. They almost always will be sure to include their credentials (certified seo, courses they took to learn, current occupation if it relates to internet marketing, etc) if they have any. They know that will bring trust an traffic that they can sell.
- Can you find the same advice in many locations on the net, or is it "breaking news" that no one else is picking up on? There are very few places that you can find breaking news in the internet marketing industry that you can trust as truly breaking news. Most seo's will all realize something is up with an engine at about the same time because they are watching their businesses that closely. For truly "breaking seo news" visit and subscribe to web marketing now's newsletter. They do a lot of extensive testing and generally will "know" of changes in the search engines before anyone else does. Otherwise, if you cannot find other articles telling you of certain advice, then it is likely fiction.
These are a couple of things to look for, but certainly there are more and these are not 100% all of the time. Rather, some good guidelines. Here are some references for you to look at in regards to finding information in seo marketing articles.

I have listed below the urls where you can find the press releases for the major search engines Blogs Blogs are a great way to keep your finger on the pulse of the internet world, escpecially in terms of information in seo marketing. Again, be careful of the advice you find as I described above. Here are a few excellent blogs to get you started. Forums Newsletters | |
