MARKETING LINKS

If people are interested in Search Engine Optimization I'd suggest a few SEO sources people can check to find out what's current as changes happen often in the industry:

Search Engine Marketing Forums
http://www.webmasterworld.com
http://www.forums.searchenginewatch.com

Articles:
Search Engine Guide http://www.searchengineguide.com
Search Engines: What they are and how to submit your site
Myths: Is Paid Inclusion Worth It? (Don't miss this one!)
Pay Per Click and Other Internet Advertising
Meta Tag Tips and Samples
Website Popularity Ranking: How does Alexa work?
Google's Page Rank System explained

Books:
Mike Grehan - Search Engine Marketing (this guy really knows what he's talking about) http://www.search-engine-book.co.uk/
Fredrick Markini (good general overall view of search engine marketing) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/155622804X/qid=1118683159/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/102-2189310-9389758?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

One of the best ways to get your site listed (and to improve your Google site ranking) is to get other sites to link to your site. One site that I’ve used to link (advertise) other sites is the “post to classifieds” section of http://www.craigslist.org/ , which is free.
