I think forums are a great way to find out information about interesting things.. With so many users commenting about experiences, problems, cool things they found, updates, algo changes. That sometimes a forum is the quick media to pick up on a major update.

It brought back some real memories reading your post above John. I started off my SEO education in the way and distant past (well not too way and distant) on the SEO forums (Cre8, WebmasterWorld and SEOChat – back in the days when even Randfish was still bloggin on them).

Much of those early days where spent reading what people like Danny, Ammon Johns, et all had to say, what they were finding in the industry, and how they approached and tackled particular issues.

SEO however has changed a lot in that time. For one it is considerably more commercial, not just in terms of renumeration, but also in terms of approach and perception.

Whilst I personally think it is a shame the likes of Danny, Rand etc are not as heavily involved in many of these forums, there are still a considerable amount that are (barry and Kim on here for one), and I do think it is a way of giving something back to the industry – lets face it there are a lot of modern day SEO’s who did get their start reading and posting on forums.

At the end of the day, it would be a crying shame if SEO lost that community feel.

I disagree.. im seo im learning everyday from other people… usually post to some forums.. don’t give them the exact way how to do it but instead teach them how to use SE.. “searching” thats what i usually do.. i learn alot by reading on some threads.. and of course some updates…

I agree. As a relatively new SEO, I’ve learned a lot in forums from just reading about all the different ways that websites can go wrong and listening to the creative solutions that participants in the forums come up with. It’s really boosted my range of experience and knowledge in a way that reading blog posts can’t do. Naturally, the information in forums has to be treated with a grain of sale but that can be true for blog posts too. Interesting post.

I think SEO forums still serves a nice platform for the novice.
