Thought I was the only one here. I rarely see them talked about on forums or mentioned in blog posts.

I'd add AJ Kohn
http://www.blindfiveyearold.com/


I'd also add that I am not an SEO. I just try to keep abreast.

BTW, why are you just asking for SEO resources, but your stated goal is to help them gain TRAFFIC?

1. Why SEO? Are you providing other resources for other traffic sources?

2. Why traffic? Are you providing other resources for conversion optimization, list building, etc, etc, etc?

I ask because the next thing I read after this was my SumoMe email which has their guide on Facebook traffic - https://sumome.com/stories/free-traffic-facebook?src=sumome-email-story-free-traffic-facebook
Or how about their recent post on 130 ways to get more traffic? https://sumome.com/stories/get-more-traffic

I find KISSMetrics does good webinars, often with a conversion optimization focus, sometimes with a traffic focus, almost never with an SEO focus.

love that post... It has been getting the creative juices running.   Thanks.

I still say Moz and Eric Ward as well. 

I still learn stuff from both places. Eric always has another linking opportunity, if you can find the time to speed read his notes, and Moz will give me white hat, easy answers.

TY to ALL

"BTW, why are you just asking for SEO resources"

Ya have to feed these newbie affiliates LITTLE bits of info at a time.
There minds are not capable of more than one thought at a time 

[ergophobe]

>>one thought at a time

fundamental principle of good teaching. I just wondered if you wanted other stuff or not.

I think I may finally be able to understand Reddit....

Every time I go to reddit I click on the title link and it takes me to another site.... Once I figure it out, my How To is going to be title "Geddit: the compleat guide to Reddit" ;-)

this is a pretty good guide to using excel

[ergophobe]

Nice guide.

I almost posted the other day asking how to dedupe data in Excel. Now I know.

What I really want now is regex processing...

Admittedly, I'm a bit of an Excel geek.  Pleased to find a couple of new things in there to me that will save time in future...

EOMONTH, YEARFRAC for forecasting
Both F4 shortcuts

Nice.
