Search Engine Watch Forums has a thread asking members What’s Your SEO Daily Routine? Now, I know many SEOs, some are morning people, some are evening people and some are sporadic. So typical in the SEO community, as with many other industries, is not so typical.

I pattern I see in the responses include;

• Most read blogs on a daily basis.
• Some devoted listen to podcasts
• Many obviously check forums
• Meetings
• Work Work
• Phone Calls & EMails
