The biggest tip I can give you to help you get a job in SEO is to get out there…answer and ask questions on the SEO blogs and forums, and ensure that you are not just a SEO sponge but that you challenge and test your own theories.

There’s a load of rubbish SEO content out there too, so here’s a starting point for a few great SEO sites to get you on your way…

  • Search Engine Land – industry news, views and advice
  • Search Engine Roundtable – more industry news, views and advice
  • Search Engine Watch – even more industry news, views and advice!
  • SEOMoz – provides stacks of research, training and tools.
  • SEOBook – one of my earliest favourite SEO sites and an industry leader in the provider of SEO tools and resources.
  • Search Engine Journal - a writing co-op for PPC, SEO and social media guys to share their ideas, research and discoveries.
  • Wiep – awesome link-building tips (if you’re good at link-building, you’ll never be short of a job offer or two).

More Advanced SEO / IR Blogs

Once you’ve had a taster of what SEO is and what it can do for websites, you might want to learn more about the technology behind them, these might be good starting blocks:

  • Bill Slawski – top notch IR geek (and I’m sure he won’t take offense to me saying that)
  • David Harry – he now run’s a superb higher-level SEO forum,
  • Science for SEO – SEO geek doesn’t cover it, uber IR geek might though

I hope it can become a place where people can understand how they can help themselves to get a job in search marketing and progress successfully in ways that suit them. The area I am most familiar with is search engine optimisation so this will be a primary focus, but considerations of PPC and website conversion optimisation will also be covered in time.
