SEO is still important as ever. The rules of the game may change (with changing Google algorithms) but the basic objective of having a SEO Optimized site remains fundamental. Many new bloggers and business owners with new sites have started understanding the importance of SEO and taking action to optimize their site.
I have met many bloggers and business owners who tend to get overwhelmed by SEO terms and choose to outsource their website’s SEO to marketers on Fiverr, Freelancer or PPH.
Most of the SEO marketers on these platforms have a standardized template that they follow for every website. Be it link building, tag optimizing or key word research. They don’t really focus on the core objective of the business and carry out run-of-the-mill SEO tasks. In some cases it works in most cases it doesn’t.
In my opinion, having the basic understanding of the DO’s and Don’ts of SEO best practices is a must for all  blog/ site owners. Even if you are outsourcing your SEO, make sure you understand what the SEO marketer is suggesting.
Luckily, there is a wealth of information out there that is constantly being updated for those who seek it. Many popular blogs out there such as the MOZ blog contains tons of information on SEO with great videos, tutorials and tools to help shore up your knowledge on the subject.
Another prominent blog is the Hubspot blog. It has done a particularly excellent job communicating SEO strategies in a clear and easy to understand manner for the users. Hence, making their content remarkably helpful for those who are new to the digital marketing sphere.
If you need more than just advice but a SEO site audit tool, SEMRush has one of the best tools. With practical advice updated with the latest information, it makes this site one of the most popular sites on the web.
However, besides these popular sites, there are these blogs below which I follow regularly. I recommend these blogs to everyone who are looking for some priceless information on SEO. Here is a quick summary of these 5 best SEO blogs to follow in 2016.
First up is my favorite blog and SEO marketer- Brian Dean. He is the genius behind Backlinko. In under a year, BacklinkO went from being an unknown blank WordPress installation to one of the top 100 business blogs online (according to Technorati). Â BacklinkO provides practical and useful SEO for all its users to help grab the attention of online viewers.
