Things to know in SEO during 2022

0

This is my last post of the year 2022. I'm glad to have started my newsletter in this year and am able to connect with 6000+ LinkedIn users. It's been 7 months since I started it. I hope you all get something from it, since I discovered a lot of things during the making of this newsletter, which I discussed in a previous post.

You can also subscribe my SEO newsletter.

When I started my journey, there was no one who helped me learn more about SEO - I had to do it myself. I do lots of research and discussion in the SEO community and then share things that might help you in your work.

In order to summarize the whole year, I plan to provide some information or topic names in a few sections.
