24 SEO blogs and SEO news websites you should know about

You know the answer to the question of where to hide a dead body so that it can't be found. On page 2 of Google.

It's old and hackneyed. I know. But there's a lot of truth in it.

Nobody cares about page 2, only page 1 counts.

We used to write blog articles on our blog - when we were still an IT company - and hoped that one of our articles would make it to one of the top positions. And sometimes it did.

Sometimes.

Now, as a search engine optimisation agency, we deal with the latest trends and strategies in SEO on a daily basis.

We consume all relevant SEO blogs, SEO news portals, videos and magazines on the subject.

The result: 47 of our last 50 blog articles are positioned on page 1 of Google. Our website ranks with 11,200 organic keywords. Of these, 873 are on page 1.

This is exactly what you can achieve with your website if you keep up to date with SEO.

So if you're looking for the best SEO news, check out our selection of SEO blogs and news.

The featured sites are all you need to stay up to date.

Number 7 and number 17 are - besides our own blog ;) - my personal favourites.

GOTCH SEO BLOG

Language English

Gotch SEO was founded in 2013 by Nathan Gotch and has really taken off in the last year or two.

I also particularly like Nathan Gotch's videos.

Here is an example video:

An example from his SEO blog: Advanced SEO Audit Checklist for 2024

SEO Blog by Robbie Richards

Language: English

Robbie Richards is not so well known here. However, the Australian is known for publishing some of the most detailed guides in the industry.

The average length of his blog posts (at least the most recent ones) is an incredible 12,000 words. This is also the reason why he only publishes about one blog post per month on average.

The articles are a real hit and have a correspondingly high number of comments. Here is a post that particularly appeals to me as a copywriter.

It's definitely worth visiting the blog regularly.

SEO by the sea

English language

A blog for anyone who wants to know how Google works.

According to Ahrefs, Bill Slawski, the founder and author of the blog, is known for analysing many Google patents and whitepapers in detail. Therefore, his blog is a great place to learn why search engines do what they do.

So if you want to look behind the scenes of Google and Co. you should visit the SEO blog often.
