  • Aaron Wall of SEO Book
    Rand Fishkin of SEO Moz

    Are a couple of popular ones.

    Ideally you want to become you own Guru with your own system.

  • I would say Aaron Wall and Jeremy Shoemaker know what their talking about. Remember though, SEO is almost all based on opinions.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Aaron Wall is definitly somebody to recommend ... we have a membership there as well.

    But the guru depends on what you looking for - nobody knows everything.... each one is a specialist in his area.

      Peter Kent.

      I strongly recommend avoiding most online information and dealing only with the newest editions of standard textbooks published by mainstream, orthodox publishers.

      There's a very specific, very compelling reason for this: such textbooks have an enormous investment made in them by the publishers, before they're even printed. For this reason, they're obliged to be commissioned only from widely recognised, highly accredited, well qualified experts who are known and trusted, and their output is also peer-reviewed at every stage of its production.

      Online information, by comparison, just isn't subject to any realistic, meaningful "quality control" at all and can be devastatingly unreliable.

      Call me a skepchick, but over the last three years I've gradually and increasingly been realising that the generally prevalent views of SEO expressed online, especially by its practitioners (who always have a direct or indirect financial interest in whatever they're alleging) is little better than a collection of "urban myths of internet marketing".

      Bear in mind that in a field of endeavour in which, out of all those "trying it", comparatively few people become truly successful, the "general consensus of opinion" is always likely to be fairly deeply flawed and erroneous.

      Reading a few "established textbooks" really does open up a whole different world.

      If it's of any help, for someone starting off and wanting to develop some understanding of the basics of SEO, I personally recommend the November 2010 edition of this fine book, whose author's professionalism, attention to detail and hard evidential research for what he says really show up a lot of "online SEO talk" for the nonsense it is.

    • SEO is about testing. Start putting what you read to practice and soon you won't be overloaded with information, you'll start to see patterns and trends and the pieces will fall together.

      The more you learn about SEO the more you realize there is to learn about SEO.

  • Save yourself a lot of time, money, and frustration and just take action on the courses you have already read.
    That's the only way you will really learn.
    Chasing the hottest guru is a looser's game.

    • I agree, you can't just follow the gurus and expect to ace SEO.

      I learnt this a long time ago, you actually need to do your own testing and find out what works best for you.

      Things that work for some people won't work for others.

      There are just too many variations and contributors for every theory in SEO that it is a jungle in here!

      You will see two sides in almost EVERY SEO claim on the internet, which is really because of two things:

      1. It is very difficult to ACCURATELY measure SEO tactics.

      2. There are too many variables in every SEO tactic.

      Test, test, test.

      It may seem pointless to you now but getting into the habit of testing everything will allow you to understand the real truths of the industry.
  • Nothing particular!
    Anyone who can achieve top ranking using white hat methods is top SEO guru
  • There really is no GURU if you look at it..

    SEO is all about creating a method of link building etc which suits you and your website.

    Yes the basics are the same, but everyone uses their own methods.
