Stuntdubl Search Marketing Consulting Best Posts Roundup
If you're new here, you may want to learn more about me, introduce yourself or check out my best posts. Thanks for visiting!
One of the main reasons I started this site was to have a point of reference
for things, and my own sort of public bookmarks for discussion. I often go back through and read some of the posts, and several I reference more often than others. I thought I’d do a list of my favorite posts that took the longest time, and hopefully came away with some of the best information available here. I’m a big fan of meta-aggregation. So here’s your one bookmark for the SD gold when you have time to sit down and dig in. Link donations are welcomed:)

Thank you, Todd, for one of the best SEO sites there is! And thank you for this compilation. May I point out, as a neurotic typo nitpicker, that you wrote “Industy” instead “Industry”. I’m not a native writer, and I’m sure that my site is full of typos, too. And I really hate it to find them!

I want to thank you for this great collection of links as well.
After being laid-off not too long ago, I’m working freelance gigs to give me more time to find the right SEO/SEM gig. Your list of links now gives me one central place to return to again and again in order to double-check best practices, check what I’ve forgotten, and learn more about the issues where I’m not as well-versed.
For those who have, and wil continue to find this page and your entire site so helpful, Thank You!

You rock Todd. Good to see white hat SEO thriving in the marketplace and you are a gentleman and a scholar in the marketplace. You are automatically ranked high in my book since Stephan Spencer thinks very highly of you.
