Note: I have an SEO twitter list set up to make it easier for you to view and follow everyone.
Email Subscriptions
Most SEO blogs are going to have email subscriptions, so for the sake of not repeating myself, I’m going to list ones that consistently have recent and valuable information.

SearchCap: Daily Search Engine News Recap – “SearchCap is a free daily recap of search engine news. Subscribe, and at the end of each business day, we’ll email you a summary of what happened in search that day. This will include all stories we’ve covered on Search Engine Land as well as headlines from sources from across the web.”

Moz top 10 – “A semimonthly mailer updating you on the top ten hottest pieces of SEO news, tips, and rad links uncovered by the Moz team. Think of it as your exclusive digest of stuff you don’t have time to hunt down but want to read!”

High Rankings Advisor Search Marketing Newsletter – “The High Rankings Advisor is an informative and witty, free email newsletter/blog written by Jill Whalen. Jill keeps no secrets when it comes to search marketing and optimizing sites for high rankings. If you read each post from the SEO newsletter and follow through with Jill’s advice, you will see your search engine traffic and conversions soar just like many readers before you.”

Marketing Day: Daily Internet Marketing News Recap – “Marketing Day is a free, daily newsletter that features the day’s most important online marketing news and articles. It includes a brief summary of the articles published each day right here on Marketing Land, along with links to original articles published on our sister site, Search Engine Land, and links to articles published elsewhere around the web.”

Point Blank SEO: Link Building Newsletter
A great newsletter for link building techniques. Jon covers new trends and methods for acquiring links. This is the only newsletter I know of that is dedicated to link building strategies. Also, it should be noted that none of the information ins the newsletter is repetitive from the blog! It’s all fresh content.
Thanks!
Lastly, I just want to give a huge thanks to Rachel Alton for helping me put together this list and always correcting my terrible grammar. If it wasn’t for her, your eyes would bleed trying to read my gibberish!

3 Mentions? It must be my lucky day!
But this actually sets up nicely for the mention I’ll be giving you tomorrow (coincidence of course!) :)
haha! You were completely worthy of being mentioned 3 times. Each of your profiles has different content than the others!
Great list. I would suggest adding Inbound.org’s Twitter profile to this list :)
I considered it, but I always see their posts after I’ve seen then somewhere else.
Dude, I’m not sure how I’ve deserved to be on this list let alone so high up on it (if it’s been added in error you are more than welcome to leave it!)
Cheers for the twitter list, now subscribed! :)
Hah! The list is in no particular order, so don’t go getting a big head on me :) However, you totally deserve to be on the list man! Always enjoy your posts!
Didn’t even realize I was on here until looking at my referrer analytics… Thanks Pete!
Sure thing man!
