TakeItOffline has a history of bringing together some of the best SEO people from around the world, people who publish and share with the community the best practice in SEO. Most lists we’ve seen tend to have a US bias and frequently feature people who actually haven’t been doing SEO for a long while, so this list is our short version-people we know to be the best SEO Consultants in the world. The criteria for inclusion: currently practicing, sharing knowledge, and being a good person. We can’t include everyone, so it really is just a short list.
