Following are the
websites/blogs that I would recommend to follow to keep yourself updated
with recent developments in “search” world. You can sign up for email
updates. List is in order of importance.
SEO
1.
Google Webmaster Blog- This is official blog of Google Webmaster Tool
(GWT). Google announces major changes they are bringing in GWT,
the search engine in general, latest algorithm updates etc. on this
blog.

2.
YouTube Channel of Google Webmaster-
You can find videos of Matt Cutts
on this official channel of GWT. He answers queries in these videos
which are really insightful, but never follow the suggestions blindly
;). After all, Google is also a commercial organization.
You can subscribe to the channel.

newspaper of search world. One should visit this blog daily if one has
to keep up with latest developments no matter it’s related to SEO, PPC,
search engines, little tips and tricks etc.

4.
Moz Blog- They
are wizards of SEO. They provide really cool SEO, web analytics and
social media tools like Open Site Explorer, Followerwonk etc. They have
two separate
blog sections- one Moz Blog and another YouMoz. On Moz blog, mostly you
can find posts from Moz employees and on YouMoz from other blog
members. Nice way to learn new techniques.

5.
Quick Sprout- This
is personal blog (as he promotes, but I don’t think so he manages it
alone) of entrepreneur Neil Patel, he is CEO of company which provides
amazing
analytics tools like kiss metrics and crazy eggs, you can check their
separate blogs also. On quick sprout most of the times he shares very
genuine and out of the box tips for SEO with links to useful resources.

introduction of his blog.
