Best of the SEO blogs

Search Engine Land reports Google testing image banner ads on Google Image search. Aaron Wall has a confession to make and a question for you  – Is buying links stupid ? If you’ve been thinking if Google ever forgives a penalized site, you better read this. Bill Slawski has a list of suggestions for blogging beginners – good read !#

Stephan Spencer spoke at the Startonomics on SEO, and he has a good video for you. (It was not that all good quality for me, see if you get a good full session, but insightful talk there)

Familiar with any of these icons ?
