Nice list–what was your criteria for selecting these individuals?
I’m pretty sure @AndyBeal is much more of an Online Reputation Management Expert than an SEO pro though.
Thanks!

Hi Lyell, I followed them from their blogs so no particular criteria except that they’re all doing or once done SEO.

Thanks for the list.
@ZK I think Joost is an SEO, why do you think otherwise ? Neil has a company so hes not an SEO ? Check his archives..

Thx for including me, appreciate it.
Andy B. is very much an SEO expert, although in recent years his focus has been on rep. mgmt. Before that, he was a high-profile SEO. And I believe he continues to consult SEO companies on their business development.
Jim Boykin’s and Neil Patel’s companies also offer SEO services.

I agree with the First Comment of this blog post.
Is Brad Called of SEO Elite on Twitter? If Yes you should include him on the list.
Brad was my first SEO guru while I consider Joel Comm as my adsense guru.

[...] have no idea why this is happening. I was listed on this post about SEO gurus on Twitter (even though I’m hardly a “guru”), but can that explain the entire increase? [...]
Hey there, where is the man named Mani Karthik in the list?
Some companies should not be listed here as SEO guruz I think.
Anyway, a very good list that shows your expertise in SEO, Mani!

Yea, I even thought I should only be featuring the individual profiles but some of them were equally good in breaking SEO news and tips even. So…I just hope it all helps track the SEO world.

I was looking for your name on the list. Thats modesty. Seems like you are the only seo guru I am following and you are not on the list..

[...] 25 SEO Gurus you should follow on Twitter [...]
I’d rather read their blogs then their tweets because I don’t really feel like reading how someone who I don’t know days went.
But I will check out some of the blogs listed, thanks anyways.

True. Even some of the superstars tweets can be boring, but I’d still follow them because we have to.
[Reply to this comment]
I’d also add @jimboot on that list.

I follow almost all these twitter-ers in the list.
One thing I noticed and I would like to highlight here is Using the profile Pics.. I think its better to see his own face when ever there is new tweet.. Look at A… BC.. I really dont get it! even if they are big guys!
I really enjoy following who keeps their photo on it… Its like you know this twiiter personally!
I beleive “Its not What they Tweeting, its all about who you Following”

Yea right, the alt tags are autogenerated based on the filenames. Iad to name them serially to maintain the order.
[Reply to this comment]
Looks like you have a good compilation of all the experts that using Twitter out there. I wonder why you didn’t add John Chow inside there.
