Nice compilation of SEO experts giving us a chance to learn more about SEO. Thanks!
Glad it helped Adam!
I would have to add Steven Spencer & perhaps the folks at SEO Moz to the list.
I’m sure happy this is your opinion only. LOL
I think I’m not alone in telling you that you need to get out more. LOL No one else seems to want to post exactly what I have, but trust me, they feel the very same way.
Nothing personal at all. .. just MY opinion.
BTW: I agree with Bill Slawski and Michael Martinez being a part of ANY type list, but that is totally the extent of it.
