Matt Cutts from Google has a lot of SEO material on his blog, "Gadgets, Google, and SEO" (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/). He also put together some video tutorials a couple of years ago that are worth looking at: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=matt+cutts

He also recently posted a video interview (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/free-search-engine-optimizatio-tips/) done by Jefferson Graham, who published an article on SEO in USA Today last month (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/services/2008-06-22-google-search-engine-optimization_N.htm). The videos aren't professionally produced, by any stretch of the imagination, but the advice is good.

More philosophically, Peter Morville's "Ambient Findability" does a good job of explaining what makes some sites findable, which in my experience translates into good ranking.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a site that has good (beginner-level) SEO info,
suitable for a small business? I know there are a TON of resources out
there, so any recommendations that sort the wheat from the chaff would be
most welcome.

Thank you,
Yvonne Mulhern
