Unfortunately, a lot of it is bad, too. There’s no editorial diety traveling through cyberspace to make sure content is valid. That’s why you need to find information from trusted sources and always get multiple opinions on whatever topic you’re researching.

I’ve put together a list of five terrific sources for SEO information. There are many more available, but these are key in my opinion. You can always find terrific information and new ideas from some of the top in their profession. Also, you won’t have to worry about being penalized for shady black hat techniques that some sites may promote.

Without further ado…

5. SEO Book
Great blog and useful tools for newbies. They also provide consulting services.

4. Search Engine Land
Tons of great free information on search engine marketing. For access to more content, you can buy a premium membership for about $150/year.

3. Matt Cutts blog
For those who don’t know, Matt Cutts is the head of Google’s Webspam team. Some of the information on his blog can get very technical, but you won’t find a more trustworthy site.

2. Bruce Clay
Bruce Clay offers search engine marketing services, but also has tons of great content for you to do it on your own. A well respected name in the industry.

1. SEOmoz.org
SEOmoz is my favorite place for SEO information. They always have fresh ideas and maintain a wonderful site. Some of the content is free, like the daily blog, but to access all of their articles and SEO tools, you have to pay to become a PRO member, which is around $80/month. Well worth it.
