I'd like a basic rundown on SEO techniques, the latest research and tools, etc., and I came across SEO Book (http://www.seobook.com/join/).<p>Has anyone used this service? Any thoughts about whether it's worth the $300/month (steep!)?
The reason our pricepoint is $300/mo is because our service is nearly/roughly comparable to buying SEO consulting from a top SEO company. The speed with which questions get answered in the forums, the depth of the answers, and how noise free it is makes it an unparalleled/unmatched experience. Rather than creating around "what would sell" I created around what I would want to buy. And since we make plenty of $ elsewhere, part of why we pushed the price up on SEO Book was to increase the quality of the membership base. And it worked well!<p>And a lot of times when you buy SEO consulting you get strung along, etc. Whereas with us you get direct access to us on the forums and quick direct answers. Amongst our staff and subscribers there is literally over a thousand years of SEO experience you get to tap into. I have been doing SEO since 2003 & some of our moderators have been in the game twice as long as I have.<p>At some point we will launch multiple tiers / access levels & those who are not paying for access to the forums will have a much lower pricepoint...likely closer to ~ $50 or $60 a month (though we are still thinking this through).
SEOBook and SEOMoz are both excellent services. I would recommend using all of their free resources first. SEOBook has a free 7 day "course" you can sign up for to get a feel for it, plus a lot of free content. SEOMoz also has excellent tools and information as well.<p>If you are just looking for the basics there is a ton of free information out there.
