    Hi all,

    I'm learning a lot from DP members here and wondered what you guys "read" on web to stay informed on latest findings on web based business (SEO, PPC-Adsense and stuff).

    Other than DP forums lately, the 2 sources I like are http://www.sitepoint.com/recentarticles/ and http://www.websitepublisher.net/ articles.

    It would be great to hear other useful resources around.

    Thanks in advance to all.

    ps: If someone can direct me to a thread or something for what I ask here it would be great. I tried digging the forums with phrases like "resources" but could not get anything useful.

    Personally the info on this forum is enough for me. I think it depends on your site how much you have to "stay in touch" with the up to the minute happenings.

    I do use google news sometimes just because its easy to get to from the toolbar!

    C'mon you can read general chat, you *have* too much time :p j/k

    http://www.jensense.com/ is another quick information resource as far as i can see, I was asking for such resources, that you can visit once a week or so to catch up with whats going on, without reading tons of post before you can get the juice.

    :)

    I read magazines and informative books. However, when it comes to webmastering, webmaster boards is the best place to get valuable infos/tips.

    I get all my info from DP. I stopped reading internet marketing books a while ago. No seo book can keep up with the information which is updated here on a daily basis.

    And books can't answer certain questions you may have. But other webmasters in forums can.
