“SEO is not dead, but it’s changing.” These are words extracted from the interview of Lisa Barone of Outspoken Media. SEO, like the rest of the world, is now in 2011 – another year of progress, struggle and learning for me and for everyone in the search industry.

This year SEOs should bookmark the following list of blogs that will help and accelerate their progress and keep them up-to-date with news, tips, and techniques related to SEO and the online marketing industry.
