Search Engine Roundtable

Frequency: Daily.

Search Engine Roundtable is my ultimate source of SEO news. Its free daily newsletter is a digest of top articles, tweets, and forum threads from reputable practicers, bloggers, and publishers — and official announcements from Google. Owner and publisher Barry Schwartz has practiced SEO for 18 years.

The digest is a time-saver, ridding SEO professionals of the need to check blogs and forums daily. However, the volume of content may overwhelm small business teams.
