Hi Jim, great article thanks. I have lost quite a few contracts because of lack of SEO Technical Knowledge. Can you recommend me some resources or books to learn about the subject:
PHP, Hosting, MySQL, ect. You know the kind of SEO technical knowledge one must have. Thanks in advance Jim.

Like anything in life, you need to keep learning. When you stop learning, you stop growing. This goes with anything in life. Either it is personal or business. So I do not think there are just a few things that people should know about SEO. When I read over you site, I just got the feeling that a person can learn just these subjects and will do fine.

Do you think it�s possible to become an effective SEO by mastering only the non-techie parts? Or you really can�t become a true SEO by heart when you miss any one or several of these?

I think there are a lot of things you need to know when it comes to SEO. There are not only a few that you should use. Like anything in life, you need to keep learning. When you stop learning, you stop growing. This goes with anything in life. Either it is personal or business. So I do not think there are just a few things that people should know about SEO. When I read over you site, I just got the feeling that a person can learn just these subjects and will do fine. It makes me feel like you are dismissing the rest of the subject as not important at all. I am not sure if this is how you feel or you just left out that feeling in your article. I would like to know what you think about this matter.

Excellent points noted down, but regarding link bait i dont think every seo professional can do it.

Thank you for the informative site. I know a lot people that are trying to get this kind of information for a while. But all the time they are finding the same things over and over and over. No site has been putting all the same information into the same place. Thank you for going the extra mile and including all of this into a concise website. I will have to send some people your way so they can get the information that they have been looking for. Do you have any other information that would be helpful for them? Or any other subjects that you have been covering on any of your other sites that I or people I know might find useful? I will keep checking back to see if I can find something that I could use.

Great article Jim

I have come across lots of seo service sites that advertise they can get you to number one in the search engines in a couple of months. Why do so many webmasters believe this?

MrWize you are right, MySQL and PHP is not the only one up there, but let�s don’t forget , SEO is not directly related to knowledge of runing servers and such. Do you really think that one must know inside out every server or DB system in order to bring the website running on it to to the top3 position ?
F-1 drivers do not necessarily need to know how the gearbox is constructed in order to switch the gears , they know what is wrong when they hear the sound of it but its up to the other team members and mechanic to fix it. The driver need to know how to drive and win the race - and that is his job and expertise. He may look at the sky and say � those tires will not work today we need slicks� or whatever, but that does not mean he needs to know which particular slicks are the best at this moment, you won’t see him jumping under the car to swap them either.
Just like Jim said, there is just so much involved, that to be able to do SEO professionally you will always need other experts.
