if you like the advice, read the blog,

I would suggest identifying a few sites or bloggers that constantly post good information on SEO and browsing through their posts.

I've been in SEO for years and am also self-taught. My favorite sites are the blogs at SEOMoz.com, SEOBook.com, and Google Webmaster Central Blog. SEOBook.com has a training program that's a little pricey but is well worth a month or two of membership if you've got the time to dive into it.

There's also a book... SEO for Dummies which is a good place to start. It's written by Bruce Clay who is one of the world's leading SEO's. It's about 700 pages, all dedicated to SEO.

Hope this helps,
Zack
