I learned SEO via a self study and with the help of some authority websites, ebooks, videos and forums. It was not that easy; at the beginning. But as time goes by and the more I read, watch and listen, the more familiar and effective I become on the SEO field.
Until today, I am still reading and studying anything related to SEO. SEO is a never ending process and of course, requires constant studying and analysis so we can cope up with the ever changing algorithm of search engines and the world wide web.
Today, I will give you those websites that helps me much and made me an effective SEO today. I hope that you will learn the same way I did when I read them.
