I often read backlinko.com and ahrefs.com

+1. These are the only two worth reading for most people.

> I know next to nothing about SEO and would love to learn a bit more, but I've never found any useful resource that isn't some kind of crappy spam-blog or so old that I'm left doubting if the information is still relevant.

You could try my on-page SEO guide that's more aimed at developers (https://www.checkbot.io/guide/seo/) and my Chrome extension that checks these SEO factors for you automatically (https://www.checkbot.io).

I tried to keep the SEO guide concise with everything backed up with links to authoritative sources like Google or Mozilla.

I like the look and design of your site, what did you build it with? Also if you were building a performant SEO landing page what tech stack would you use? Great extension.

Thanks, it's a minimal custom CSS theme I wrote on top of Jekyll (static site generator) hosted on Netlify. Any static site generator would work though. I'm using SVG for almost all images as well as minimal JavaScript which helps with performance.

If you're doing content marketing, then this case study from Apollo Digital is very useful: https://apollodigital.io/blog/seo-case-study

Ahrefs blog is pretty solid. Also Backlinko (Brian Dean), or anything by Nick Eubanks.

I've been reading SEO-theory for years: https://www.seo-theory.com/ His paid newsletter is a great and is reasonably priced ($30 PM for 5 issues per month). He cuts through a lot of the bullshit which plagues the SEO industry. You’ll learn more from subscribing to his paid newsletter for 6 months than a lifetime of reading blogs like Moz, AHrefs or SEOroundtable etc. If you’d would like to know more about what he's about just read a few of his blog articles.

It is like "SEO" content optimized for search engine by people who want to sell.
