There are 4 things I can think of:-

1) search the web on SEO
2) buy some books
3) do a course
4) attend a conference.

2009-05-11 Thread Mike Kear

Heheh thanks Chris,   perhaps i didn't word my question very well, on
hindsight.   I was actually looking for advice on the best way to
achieve what i want.

I suspect that a book on SEO wouldnt be the best way, because
techniques are changing so rapidly, it would be hard to find a SEO
book that's up to date.

So i was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me about SEO would
give me some advice as to the best way to go.

No offence, Chris, but I had that list of 4 things too.  and a couple
of other ideas too.

Hi Brian,

I think that Flex is probably an appropriate conversation to have on this list 
as Flex data services have been a part of ColdFusion for a long time now.  
Besides all the Flex gurus are pretty much on the list.

[cfaussie] Re: SEO - How to upgrade my skills

2009-05-11 Thread Steve Onnis

Mike

From my experience the only things in SEO that change rapidly are the
hacks and cheats where as the fundamentals have not really changed...XHTML,
CSS, content content content, keyword and keyword page relevance and links.

I tend to prefer rankings that persisit rather than using hacks and so on to
increase rankings as they don't last and end up hurting you more in the long
run.

Keep in mind though that SEO is such a delicate area and I wouldn't imagine
people are going to give up their secrets too readily.

 it's referenced in the Wikipedia page for SEO.)

2009-05-11 Thread Mike Kear

Thanks Steve,  in fact that's the point really.  There are lots of
folks claiming to be experts in the field.  I guess SEO has more than
it's share of charlatans and conmen, but how do people become experts
in that field?

I have the same list as you - perhaps I'm not as far from the front in
SEO as i imagined.
