As an SEO newbie I have trawled the internet for all things SEO and found a mountain of information and many, many people who have written articles for those of us who are new to SEO….great!!! One of the best things about the internet and social networking is the sheer abundance of information and the wonderful people who are happy to offer help and advice along the way.
However, I’m finding more and more this also has it’s downfalls not all information is detailed, some information is too detailed, we’re supplied with links to wonderful tools on the internet which allow us to conduct our research and come highly recommended but… does that help us understand exactly what we are doing? Is too much advice as bad as too little?
Perhaps it’s an inevitable trap SEO newbies fall into? I personally have quite a few websites / blogs bookmarked to go back to and visit later and have installed the Firefox extensions and continue to find articles informing me of new extensions and new tools…it may just be me but I can’t help but feel a little overwhelmed at times by all the information I find.
My advice to the SEO newbie trying to find out more?...
By all means search the internet, visit the recommended sites and try out the tools but please….do it one step at a time! Pick a handful of sites that really caught your eye (I’ve been following Gooruze for several months but only just signed up), try one new tool at a time – don’t be tempted to try all the tools all at once, how are you going to know which one works for you? And by all means sign up to Gooruze
… you may feel nervous asking questions or posting comments but it’s the only way to learn.
