Hello guys,
I did a lot of researching last month and I learned really lot about SEO. I read through many "beginner guides" from Moz and other SEO guides. I came to the point I'd like to learn more in-depth techniques and others. I watched udemy course a few days ago and I didn't learn anything new because it was too general. I purchased The art of SEO book so I hope I will find useful information there.

To the question... Could you recommend me websites/courses/books which would bring my SEO to "another level" and teach me more in-depth.

Peace,
Vasary
 
Dude why not refer this forum...there are shit ton of guides and tips related to what you are looking for my friend.
 
I'd like to have one guide which would contain everything. Coherent text.

You are not going to find everything in one guide, you need to collect information use this footprint in google Site:blackhatworld.com "Your question"
 
Asking one guide for all SEO aspects like seaching for a philosophers' stone)
And even if you find such material it will be a shit load of text, audio and video content. And when you finish studying it 40% of will allready lose its relevance.
All you can do - try, measure and analyse)

Good luck.

This is good but general too. It is just a beginner guide. I didn't learn anything new because I already know these things and techniques.

This is from https://moz.com/blog/junior-seo-task-list
These are the things I'd like to learn. Not just general things.

  • What is Mozrank, Domain Authority, and Page Authority — and how are they calculated?
  • Name 3 Google search parameters and explain what they do (hint: gl= country).
  • What advanced operator search query will return: all URLs with https, with “cat” in the title, not including www subdomains, and only PDFs?
  • Describe filtering in search results, and which parameter can be appended to the search URL to omit filtering.
  • How can I Google search by a specific date?
  • If we say something is "indexed," what does that mean?
  • If we say something is "canonicalized," what does that mean?
  • If we say something is "indexable," what does that mean?
  • If we say something is "non indexable," what does that mean?
  • If we say something is "crawlable," what does that mean?
  • If we say something is "not crawlable," what does that mean?
  • If we say something is "blocked," what does that mean?
  • Give examples of "parameters" in the wild, and manipulate any parameter on any website to show different content.
  • How should you check rankings for a particular keyword in a particular country?
  • Where are some places online you can speak to Googlers for advice?
  • What are the following: rel canonical, noindex, nofollow, hreflang, mobile alternate?(Explain each directive and its behavior in detail and state any variations in implementation)
  • Explain Google Trends Index — how is this calculated?
  • Explain Google Keyword Planner search volume estimates & competition metric — is search volume accurate? Is the competition metric useful for organic?
  • Explain SEMrush.com’s organic traffic graphs — Why might you see declines in SEMrush graphs, but not in actual organic traffic?
  • Write the following XML sitemaps by hand for at least 5 URLs: mobile, desktop, Android App, and create one desktop XML sitemap with hreflang annotations
  • Figure out how to ping Google & Bing with your sitemap URL
  • Writing robots.txt

  • Test the robots.txt file through the Search Console robots.txt tester.
  • Write a rule that disallows everything, but allows at least 1 folder.
  • Design a robots.txt that has specific blocking conditions for regular Googlebot, Bingbot, all user agents. They must be independent and not interfere with each other.

Anyway, thanks for your help. And I will watch the videos later.
 
You can learn everywhere! I suggest test and learn instead of just learning.

Here are a few links that answer some of those questions (and more).

Additionally, you can read my latest guide here. While I wrote it mostly for novices, I did briefly cover topics such as keyword cannibalisation, cannibalisation issues, and technical SEO.
