Black Hat. Simple answer, but I know many, many people that have used his website to get insane results.

Pesky login requirements makes Aaron Wall (http://SEOBook.com) the winner for me. Quadzilla still does rock, though.

I think Rand Fishkin, "The Wizard of Moz", is the best SEO blogger in the world. Seomoz.com has informative, interesting articles for SEOs of all levels and Rand's post are usually the most in-depth on the site.

Agreed with you here. Learned a lot and got myself to the top of many of the keywords I wanted for my podcasts (i.e. drinking podcast) in google.

CAPS community. Collective intellegence and well-organized structure makes more powerful than any one blogger can ever be.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Jeremy Shoemaker. He's one of the most talented SEO marketer and blogger in the world.

As for the best post and the only one you'll ever need to read regarding SEO, it's written by Brett Tabke: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum10003/2010.htm

If it's who's the best blogger that has good SEO technique or best SEO expert that ALSO blogs, then that's two separate answers. The trick, of course, being that someone popular in the community will gain high relevance in Google and other engines based on all the link backs and such - they may not be the best, they're just very popular (which should almost mean they're the best, but that's not always the case). Fake Steve Jobs ranks well in his blog but he's no SEO expert, as an example.

Rand Fishkin is a great SEO "artist" who also happens to have a highly ranked site as well. The way I see it, the guy that can make the most bank (money) contracting his skills has to be one of the top guys else nobody would pay for their talent, right?

I've tried a few different folks, none of which I would recommend as they're techniques are sketchy at best. I like those that are willing to share information for free AND come in and do a job for you (for a lot of money) if you really need assistance.

http://philippineinternetreview.blogspot.com/2007/05/benj-arriola-is-worlds-best-in-seo.html

Benj Arriola is World's Best in SEO

It was March 6, 1998 when Dino Ignacio became the first Filipino to put the Philippines on the Internet map as his site Bert is Evil won the prestigious Webby Awards.

After nearly a decade, another Filipino shines online. Last week, May 2, 2007, Benj Arriola made his mark in Philippine Internet history by being first to win the SEO World Championship.



IN 2005

http://www.searchenginejournal.com/best-seo-blog-of-2005-best-search-blog-awards/2696/

Best SEO Blog of 2005 : Best Search Blogs Awards
What perhaps may be the most expanding niche of search engine related blogs in 2005, SEO blogs have followed the transformation of the Search Engine Optimization industry in 2005 into a legitimate marketing vehicle for both innovative & traditional businesses. Following the path of SEO out of the link trading and keyword stuffing of yesteryear, SEO blogs have risen to discuss such strategies as link baiting and natural link building, exposing spammers, and picking apart search engine technology patents.
The inaugural 2005 Search Blogs Awards nominations included a handful of SEO blogs from different schools of thought within the SEO community, ranging from SEO Black Hat to Greg Boser’s WebGuerrilla, and from Aaron’s SEO Book to Matt Cutts of Google’s Matt Cutts Blog. Over the reader voting period I did receive some complaints over the grouping of so-called “Black Hat” blogs with a blog from a Google Engineer, but I strongly feel that such grouping is a reflection of the ongoing morphing of our SEO world, and that letting the readers decide on the most valuable blogs will ultimately expose SEO preferences.

IN 2006

http://www.searchenginejournal.com/seomoz-best-seo-blog-of-2006/4195

SEOmoz blog, the blog run by Rand Fishkin’s SEO company was ranked the highest by our readers in the 2006 Search Blogs Awards which were held during the last week

Who cares? I mean, seriously... Blogging about SEO?

Forget SEO and concentrate on the content. Good content drives traffic.

I need to list at least three. When it comes to posts that make you think, I'd have to say Michael Martinez. When it comes to practical posts that I really enjoy reading, I'd have to say Stoney deGeyter and Jennifer Laycock from Search Engine Guide. And of course there's always Danny Sullivan, but he hardly needs to be mentioned here.

If you're really looking for a fun read, you can check out the Ranked Hard comic strip, a monthly online SEO-focused comic. Back in September they ran an "SEO Squares" comic that poked mild fun at eight of the best-known SEO writers.

Jason Calacanis (back when he used to blog!)

Basic on page SEO is mostly common sense. The hard part is getting lots of good quality links, and no one is as good at generating buzz and links as Jason Calacanis.

[I'm only half joking]

Aaron Wall of SEO Book is an easy choice for #1.

Matt Cutts is an anti-SEO and should not even be considered. He works for Google! You think he is really dishing out tips to game the algo? And aside from that he rarely posts.

#2. SEOmoz is great when Rand posts, but is diluted by the other contributors.

#3. Gray Wolf is also very good, although his posts are more often rants than useful SEO advice.

The larger SEO sites (Search Engine Land, Search Engine Journal, etc) are good for search news, but generally lack original insight. Although Danny Sullivan writes some great posts.

The best SEO blogger is the one who's project comes up #1 for the term "SEO".

And, since that spot is taken by Wikipedia, the best blog to read on SEO is about Wikipedia - http://wikipediaweekly.org/

Learn how to build a useful, authoritative, rapidly growing and refreshing site about the topic you want to rate high in and the search engines will love you - like they do Wikipedia!.
