Hello, I'm Dan Thies. I've been writing about, teaching, and practicing search engine optimization for over 12 years.
In spite of what you may have heard, SEO is very simple. If you don't believe that, then you really need to read my book! It's only 100 pages long, and it's free.
(some of the) best posts from last week
This week, we're starting something new!
Introduction from Dan Thies:
This week, we're kicking off something new. My evil apprentice, PJ, has been assigned to scour the web for the most interesting articles & posts each week.
You won't find industry gossip or merger & acquisition news in here. As much as possible, we're trying to pick out a few useful and informative things that you may have missed I would have missed some of these myself if "Da Peej" hadn't found them for me.
Please enjoy, and let us know what you think of this as a regular feature.

Looks good Dan and I'm not saying that just because you liked on of our posts.
Sphinn is pretty effective but it's nice to see a Dan Thies flavored roundup.
Thanks, Lee.
I'll add a bit more editorial commentary to it next week. PJ was strugglin' with WordPress & WYSIWYG this time and I didn't want my Monday feature to get posted on Tuesday. My publishing "schedule" is weak enough already.
"What we're reading this week" is also being done by a couple of other blogs. It's a feature I really like and look forward to, because I damn well can't find all the good stuff myself! I'd expect it to up your readership – really – once the word gets out…
Appreciate the mention Dan. Cheers!
Thanks for this feature and for the above suggestions. I enjoy reading what other people find worth reading.
