A fantastic resource Matt, bookmarked, I am going to have a look back through some of your older roundups, this sort of list is like reading a magazine… it can help sort out the drizzel 😀
Thanks for the mention, Matt!

I always love new seo articles and tools to read. One of the greatest problem I have is with checking rankings in SERPS after the google personalized search came up. Your list here will keep me reading for the next couple of days.
Hey Matt. Great post.
Thanks for sharing these post recaps. I like looking at the different perspectives of SEO and search in general.
I keep a blog that has more of a marcomms focus for SEO and Search marketing.
Thanks again! You’ve got a new fan 😀
