good SEO tutorials?

recommend any?

[GregFoley]

Can you recommend any good SEO tutorials?

- One for my friend who knows nothing about SEO. I recently had to tell her that the search engines couldn't index the Flash site she just paid to create. So maybe a few pages of SEO 101 for her.

- For me I'd like to learn more. I just know the basics now. I want SEO 102 I suppose. E.g. maybe a few dozen pages on current best practices in SEO.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations you can think of.

that 12 months article seems like a nice read, but it was written in 2002, would those tips still work?

Basically Brett's post is as relevant now as ever. The basic concepts of buildling long term, sustainable, growing sites, just don't change much.

The filters are tighter now than ever, but that just underscores Brett's emphasis on great content, quality links, etc.
