    Absolutely fantastic list of helpful resources. Probably the best list all on one page that I have seen. This is one 'directory' that I will also be using for years to come. You've given me a HUGELY valuable collection of internet marketing resources. I can't express my appreciation enough for this guide to SEO/SEM. You ahve saved me a LOT of time and effort by compiling this. Recommended!!!
  • You really went the extra mile! Excellent resources. This will go in my favorites list.
  • This is a great list and a great resource to point people to who need to start somewhere and go through the basics to learn more.

  • Probably the best collection of SEM resources I've seen to date...I've never opened so many tabs in one window at once :)

    Excellent stuff.
  • Thanks Joseph, I'm glad you find the list useful!
  • Great post! It is hard to get up to speed and stay on top of things that change as fast as PPC and SEO. It is easy to think you know "enough" about SEO and PPC - a bane I often don't like to admit. This list will definitely kick start my learning again with all these resources.

    thanks!!

    You rock bro! Thank you for taking the time to put together all the information for us! Thanks again!
  • I am going to bookmark this and keep coming back to it. There is a lot of valuable information on here. Thank you Lee.
  • Holy crap - this must have taken a year to assemble. Thanks from all of us freeloaders out here who will use your list for years to come! I thought at the start of the article you were asking something like, How can busy professionals get a grasp on marketing 2.0 — and start to engage and contribute? Along those lines, I recommend Inbound Marketing University as a foundation. http://blog.b2bcommunications.com/2009/06/30/le...
  • Thank you for putting these great resources together Lee.
  • We apologize to those who previously made comments that are not currently appearing. The JS-Kit system's inability to sort comments made directly on the blog plus today's downtime caused us to move to DISQUS social comment management.
  • Nice article, Lee! Thanks for this SEM's sources!

    Congratulations! ;)
