If you enjoy this post then I will do it every month. And if you have some kick ass content that you feel deserves it’s place on here then drop me an email and I’ll check it out!

#7 Matt Gratt – Combining Content, PR and SEO

An interesting read as Matt shows the powers of combing content with SEO and PR. You may already have great content or be good at SEO. But if you combine these 3 powers you get a huge benefit overall and you can propel your business to the next level…

I love reading Amanda’s articles. She publishes a lot of content every month. I particularly liked this article she produced on content curation which was published on Search engine journal. Content curation is exactly what I am doing right here! I have created content by putting together a list of others people links which I think will interest my readers. Amanda goes into detail on the best ways of doing it + the SEO benefits that also come with it.

#9 David Melamed with some advance SEO strategies

A very interesting read and some points that will open your eyes. Some of which I have been thinking myself recently. Are Google leading you into a false environment? Matt Cutts recently said that Guest posting was dead. So what does everybody do? they panic and cut down on guest posting. The thing is, I believe that he says this because they have no way of stopping it! so they create this conspiracy in the hope you will stop it anyway just because they say it doesn’t work! This is a similar thing to what David is talking about here!
