What resources and tools do you recommend to help bloggers learn more about SEO?
I make no secret of the fact that I'm a huge fan of SEOmoz. Their Pro membership lets you ask them questions you'd have to pay $1000 / hour to ask otherwise, plus you get their guides and unlimited use of their tools. How can anybody not see the value in that, for $50 a month or $400 a year?? I know them personally from having met them at shows, and been to their offices ... not only will you get expert advice, but it's an opportunity to help build friendships with some of the most genuine, friendly people around.
As far as plugins go, I'm happy to announce the release of my first SEO tools this week, and particularly the 'Internal Link Building' plugin which automatically links given plugins to pages that you define on your blog (or pages outside your blog, for such purposes as frequently cited sources).
Essentially, your blog ends up interlinking like Wikipedia - so you can rank like it too!
Also, what's particularly unique about this plugin is that it has post-level override capability. So if I set the phrase "seo consulting" to always link to my seo services and consulting page, then my whole blog will always link to it when I use that phrase.
But suppose I want to link to my friend Michael's SEO consulting page within a post. I can set the words "SEO consulting" to link to him.
Note: I give credit for the idea to Jim Boykin's Internet Marketing Ninjas. They have some similar tool, apparently, and that's what inspired me. He wasn't the first, but he took ownership of the idea to my mind by being the first to present it with the Wikipedia angle. Of course, if you want access to Jim's tool and program, you need a few thousand dollars, while I'm releasing mine for free as soon as I get the download tracking figured out.
