I'm already a avid reader of the SEOMOZ blog which I find a invaluable source of information.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can't not say I'm a fan of the Distilled blog! http://www.distilled.net/blog/
And there's lots of great (especially for link building) posts on SEER Interactive: http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/
Finally, there's just been too many good posts recently from Ross Hudgens to ignore him anymore: http://www.rosshudgens.com/

Ooof there are so many and really it depends if you want news, tips or want to learn more about a particular niche. In lieu of a long list I'd recommend SEO Gadget, State of Search and SEO Theory.

don't forget search engine land

I like
http://www.cre8asiteforums.com/forums/ (not a blog, but a forum)
http://www.searchenginejournal.com/
What I do, though, is follow a bunch of seo people on twitter including @randfish, @rosshudgens @jillwhalen @seobook @krisroadruck @mattcutts @aaronwall and @searchengineland. These folks always point out the new and good content in the seo world.
-
Definitely add http://mattcutts.com/blog to the list
-
I like the SEO Moz blog the best. You should also follow the Official Google Blog http://googleblog.blogspot.com/
Search Engine Watch is another good one http://searchenginewatch.com/page/newsletters

Blog Post Relevance vs Traffic
Hello Moz community, I have a website (lets say that I am selling tshirts), and want to create a blog (www.website.com/blog). With that blog, I would like to post about random topics including travel, leisure, events, new products etc. I want to do this for 1. to get affiliate commissions, 2. to increase web traffic, 3. to potentially increase my domain authority. I would like to know if this blog with random posts would negatively affect my website ranking and keyword ranking (for t-shirts), as it is not relevant to the products that I am selling (and the keywords that I am ranking for). As Google currently understands that my website is a webstore selling t-shirts (and I am ranking for the tshirt keywords), but the algorithm get confused if I start posting about travel and random topics? Your help greatly appreciated in the matter.

What platform is best for a searchable online library platform for articles, videos and audio?
I have a client who needs an online library for articles, PDFs, videos, and audio. Here are some of the criteria I need met: needs to be searchable needs to be able to accept guest blogging needs to be able to accept user feedback on each item all the items are free. needs to be able to filter results within search results. needs to be able to handle over 10,000 documents/articles that will be put on the site. content needs to be tagged with one or more tags for improved searching. I am familiar with WordPress but wasn't sure that was the best solution for a more advanced library. Any suggestions on other platforms that will work for this application?

Best French language articles on basic on-page optimization
I work for a bilingual organization and we've recently started more hands-on training for staff and content creators for SEO and content creation. We've put together a good guide in English but I'm hoping we can provide the French speakers with some solid French SEO articles that can help fill in the gaps that we don't get translated. We're looking for a basic guide to SEO, similar to Moz's guide to on-page SEO (in content, doesn't need to be as fancy). Thanks in advance!

Is anyone out there experienced in creating a blog template on Expression Engine?
I have a client that currently has their site on Expression Engine (EE). I have almost no familiarity with that, and am curious to know how user-friendly it is, and what is involved, for example, in creating a template to migrate a blog from WordPress to EE. I am getting more details, but in the meantime, wanted to find an "expert." Anyone out there know this CMS?

Help Finding Specific SEOMoz Blog Post - Help meh puhleeze
Hi everyone! Hopefully everyone had a great weekend. I'm having trouble finding a specific blog post (from the SEOMoz blog), that was pertaining to content writing. I think (but could be wrong), that it was written by Rand, but I'm having the most difficult time finding it. The overall theme of the post was about Writing/Blogging about topics OUTSIDE of whatever your niche is. I didnt bookmark the thread (doh!), but the theme of it was to basically not just write about stuff pertaining to your niche on your blog. but to write about other topics as well (I.E if I have a site about blue widgets, not only writing about blue widgets). Is there anyone that is familiar with the post that I am referring to that could possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks a ton

Best way to utilize an infographic...... do I have the makings of one?
I have read the REALLY great post on YouMoz about HOW to push an infographic but I wanted to throw this out for discussion: I operate an seo / Internet marketing company but I am also a partner in a party rental business here in Wichita. I have the material for a GREAT infographic (I think) a copy of our party rental yellow page ad with a tracking # in the ad (provided by yellowbook to see how many calls we receive every month) a report from yellowbook showing we received 277 calls in a YEAR from that ad a screenshot of Google analytics showing we received 16,000 visits during the same time period. (12k unique visits) 300 calls vs 12,000 unique visits Of those 12,000 contacts we had 3,700 of them get online quotes and provide their name, address, email and phone number. Yellow pages = 300 calls / 150-200 actual sales Internet = 12,000 unique visits, 3700 leads and ... ? ... probably 800 sales This proves in black and white right from yellowbook themselves what an AMAZING difference there is in the value of SEO vs old school phone book ads. Does this have the making of a good infograph? Can you see where this would be helpful to show potential clients? How would you use this to promote your business? Thanks for your thoughts and opinions. If this can help others I would be happy to share more specifics. Matthew
