SEO Experts to Follow on Twitter
SEO is both an art and a science! Without knowing every ingredient within the secret sauce that is the search engine ranking algorithm, the challenge of what to do and how to do it can be fraught with frustration on the path to success.
However, by listening to smart advice from Search Engine Optimization experts and authority sites, choosing the right path can reward every webmaster with much more effective results.
There are literally thousands of SEO blogs and online resources (such as SimpleSEOTips) available on the web which provide advice for webmasters to help them approach their SEO campaigns in specific ways. In conjunction with the information you find on this site, here are 10 top SEO experts (in no particular order) who I would encourage you to follow and learn from.
1. Problogger (Darren Rowse)

3. SEOmofo
SEOmofo webmaster, Darren Slater, claims his middle name is “World’s Greatest SEO”! Cocky, abrasive and extremely funny are three terms which I would chose to describe him. His confrontational posts are not for everyone but there is no denying that he is an extremely talented SEO expert. Shame he doesn’t blog more as it’s a fantastically enjoyable resource.
