I am currently using Yoast and Squirrly as means to help me optimizing my site for Search Engines on an article-by-article and page-by-page basis. One concept that is very important with both of these tools and in the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) world is the proper use of key-words. While I have come a long ways from what I knew at the beginning of my SEO efforts, I still have a lot to learn. Yoast and Squirrly have both provided me with much information concerning this topic. But now has come the time for me to also seek understanding from other sources. Perhaps I need a broader view so that the detailed day-to-day optimization process I do on my site might gain a wider perspective. So here are resources I am currently consulting for this purpose:

• The Keywords Abide: A Primer.
• The Expert's Guide to Keyword Research for SEO Copywriting.
• Why Keywords are Crucial to Your Online Success., by Michael Charvet - Local Search Marketing.
• Saying Goodbye to Paid Ads - an article explaining what is syndication and why it is important, by Michael Charvet - Local Search Marketing.
• Keywords Is Being Sunsetted in 2018. Here's Why.
