 Some out of date information June 28, 2008
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
This small book is broken down into 52 sections. I'm writing this review after section 6 (I got the book 2 days ago).
I know SEO is moving fast, and that book publishing has a lead-time, but given that this book was only published 5 months ago, in Jan 2008, a lot of the information is already looking dated.
Section 1 illustrates the popularity of Google by quoting Hitwise Search Results figures from December 2005. On their website the current research date is May 2008 - it appears to be updated monthly, so surely they could have included a figure that is a little more current?
Section 5 advises readers to go to a link for the Overture Keyword Assistant. Instead you get Yahoo's welcome page for their sponsored listings.
Also, Section 6 discusses & recommends Wordtracker and Nichebot without reference to the fact these are subscription services (and the cost is not insignificant - Wordtracker is around 29 per month).
The book is okay, but based on early impressions I think I'll be better served by following some of the SEO blogs.
 Easy Read, well thought out and well worth the small investment June 18, 2008

Bought this book last week and got through it quite quickly. I jotted down the important points as I went along and then when I finished I had thirty bulleted points I needed to address on my own website. I spent yesterday updating my site for SEO optimization. It is not rocket science but sometimes it takes someone to point out the obvious. While many people, myself included, design a web site and then optimize for search engines like google. However you will save a lot of time by reading a book like this on Search Engine Optimization before you set out to build a website no matter how big or small. Reccommended.
Very helpful read May 23, 2008

I've just finished my second thorough read-through of this great little book which is divided into 52 small chapters, each proposing a different website optimization idea. Unlike many of its competitors it is extremely readable, and is concise without lacking detail. I have found it invaluable in improving my understanding of current SEO techniques.
Great SEO Book May 7, 2008

Started reading this book a few weeks ago and its an easy informative read with some great tips and advice. Maybe not for the expect or particularly techy, but helps you to understand what SEO is all about and make you feel you can talk to your developer with some knowledge on what you want them to do to your site to help SEO, if you can't do it yourself.
Concise and precise! May 3, 2008

I thought this book was excellent.
Having recently started a small business website I found this book pretty much had every thing you need to assist you with search rankings and getting the best from your efforts.
I like it in particular because it doesn't require hours of reading and it's so accessible.
Its written in a way that makes sense and is so easy to follow.
I beg anyone to try it if they're a bit lost on the web.
Did a test of the search listing and the author's name comes up every time, exactly as he says it should.
I think for the money you'd be hard pressed to find something as good!
Brilliant.
