I really have the goods for you today! If you just read through this post and follow the links, you will be arming yourself with knowledge from true experts in their field. If you use it, the Internet community better watch out!

There is no better way to learn than to keep up with the best blogs in the business. With this in mind I’ve decided to pull together the best ever SEO blog post from a number of really cool blogs.

First up is Barry Welford with his Headlines are for Humans, Titles are for Robots. Barry’s right. The first thing you need with any web page or article is a really superb title. It has to grab the attention of the reader, who may be scanning a list, and it has to impress the search engines with relevant keywords too.

Donna Fontenot chose her Search Marketing and the Persuasion Principles where she discusses

Still on the subject of copywriting, which is a priority with good SEO, Chuck Masterson sent me his hottest post on the subject, which is The Discovery Library. There are gems in here so be sure to read it.

Yura has already made a great compilation about all aspects of a succesful site that he says is his most successful post: Learn How to Write Titles to Get Traffic and Links: The Ultimate Guide.

OK, we’ve had a lot about what we should be doing for good SEO: Now let’s look at a tongue-in-cheek account of what we shouldn’t be doing as SEOs. Judith ‘deCabbit’ Lewis from SEOchicks nominated The Seven Deadly Sins of SEO as her most successful SEO post.

Julie Joyce nominated another SEO Chicks post: Could a Chimp Do SEO? Heck Yes!

The Gypsy nominated this post by Aaron Wall: How much is a Page #1 Google Ranking Worth? It’s a very long article: amounts to a complete commercial appraisal of whether or not a coveted #1 ranking on Google is what you really need.

Link building specialist Debra Mastaler suggested I include a post from the Semmys.org. well, if you can choose between these then you have better powers of deduction than I do, so go see for yourself!

If you are not familiar with the name Todd Mintz, you should make a point of paying attention to him. He doesn’t blow his own trumpet, but he’s quietly very knowledgeable about SEO. Without further ado, I give you his post SEO, Surrealism and Salvador Dali!

Here’s my personal favorite from all the posts mentioned here: Why Do the (Good) SEOs Cost So %&*# Much?Nominated by Will Scott, this struck a chord with me for many reasons, and I’m sure it will with just about every other SEO too. The average client just can’t see what’s the big deal about SEO until he’s not ranking. And once we do our job and a site is doing much better, that same client tend to think their success is due to a lot of other factors too, thereby stealing our thunder. Sigh.

Let me bring up the rear with my favorite from my own posts, Top SEO Expert Aaron Wall Speaks Out. This was a hugely successful post for me, thanks to Aaron who gave such informative answers to my questions. Interestingly (well to me anyway) this only got about 70 percent of the traffic that came to my other most popular post, 17 Habits of Highly Popular Bloggers. That has 30 percent more traffic, but judging by how long people stayed on the page, that traffic was less highly targeted. I had far more interaction with the Aaron Wall post.
