Any good SEO resources for beginners?

Can you define beginner more specifically? Knowing basic semantic structure like the back of your hand is required for quick review and composition, understanding basic buyer psychology is necessary for developing appropriate content to match the querier's needs.

Most SEO content is garbage, rehashed, outdated, unproven.

I have the benefit of owning over 300 sites and managing another 300 or so in some capacity including full analytics access. I don't often see content written by people who "do" and work across diverse industries.

But if you define where you are starting I'd be happy to send a few ideas your way.

Have a basic understanding of semantic writing having done content writing years ago. However, as a developer currently looking to learn to market some tech adjacent ( ecomm software) ideas by writing a blog. I was under the impression that back link building was the primary driving factor towards good SEO?

Is there anything you'd suggest to get started writing? I was looking to build an audience before starting a software project.

Thanks
