Not a Bright as Some
I'm going to go way out on a limb here and admit that I am not as bright as some. I read SEOFastStart as was recommended. It did not find it so easy to read. I am on my second time through. There are terms that many folks are very comfortable with since they have been in this computer speak world for a while. For a newbie like me onpage, offpage, hyperlinks, internallinks, and all that start to get all run together and then I have to walk away and see if I can speak a complete sentence anymore.
I read through SEOFS and worked on my site and thought I had done all the stuff and then Lynn looked at my site and said I should read SEOFS and impliment it. :o Obviously I hadn't done such a great job! :eek:
My point is not for any of you to dumb down, but just to be patient with some of us who don't know a web-crawler from a night-crawler.
-
And a great point. That's the reason that we have this forum - so please feel free to ask any questions you have. If you want to list some terms for clarification & examples, that's perfectly okay.
This is a good thread to start over since we have conversations scattered over several threads. Can you list your sites/blogs here again and I'll take a look at them each and give you a review.
You should take me up on that because I don't do detailed site reviews publicly very often :)

Hey stephen don't feel bad. I just read it and found it to be a tough slog to get thru. I have no doubt that it is valuable but it is a very tough read. I am going to use it as a tool when I am building my first site. I am hoping its easier to digest in smaller doses.
-
Tom, reading it the second time through has been a little easier. At least I don't feel lost all the time, just some of it!
-
While I got the overall gist of it, there were some parts that I didn't fully understand. I learn best by doing and asking questions so that is my plan. I think its a good resource but slightly above a newbie level of writing.
-
I agree. I got the general gist, but got a little slogged down in the terminology. I also learn by doing, but, for me, sometimes that includes making large mistakes that I would prefer to avoid this time around. Can't aviod 'em all, but I'd like to avoid the big expensive ones! :cool:

Tom and Stephen, don't feel bad. I've been at this internet stuff a long time, but I'm reading SEO Fast Start for the first time. It's a lot to absorb, and I, too, am going back over it and re-reading to make sure I'm getting it.
-
You guys make me feel much better. Perhaps I should re-title this thread to something like, "At least as bright as a few!"

LOL - I'm on my 3rd read :) Of course, that's because he came out with a new version in June, so reading the update. I love Dan Thies - his brain is a goldmine!!
