SEO tutorials are a dime a dozen these days. A simple search for SEO tutorials brings up millions of results, but which ones can you trust to be right? Worse yet, many of those tutorials are “free.” There’s nothing wrong with that, except there’s often an upsell or some sort of back-end sale the site owner wants to rope you into. Depending upon the site, you’ll get quite a runaround when trying to sift through the pages to find good information. When you look for SEO tutorials, check the age of the document you’re looking at.
