T hese SEO resources are not intended f or clients, end-users, or customers. T hey are great f or small business owners running their own SEO/SEM, SEO agencies or f irms, or marketers looking to jump into search tactics. Why would we go and compile a SEO resource list if there are already a billion lists out there, do you ask? Well, because we are experts, and this list is amazing. It will revolutionize your workf low and your day both. Plus we use this list ourselves here at Virginia SEO to keep track of what we are looking at- this list will be updated with the latest inf ormation as our strategies grow and change. You will see a page quality link and rating on each site. Take this with a grain of salt- this is not necessarily our opinion on the matter, but more so a combination of several f actors on of which is how the site is built. A poorly designed or organized site will receive a lower rating. We also use a site analyzer provided by Raven SEO Tools which analyzes the site using a variety of metrics such as mozTrust and Page Authority. If you page is listed here and you don’t f eel like our ranking is accurate, please let us know why you f eel this way!
