 Not a bad place to start August 24, 2010
Brian Combs, ionadas local LLC (Austin, Texas, USA)
No book can truly address the constantly changing complexity of SEO, but this isn't a bad start. And the "do a little bit every day" approach is absolutely the correct one.
 Best book I've read on SEO so far November 25, 2009
J.R. (Naperville, IL United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I checked out at least 15 books from the library to learn about SEO. Most were either too basic or just seemed to be poorly written and/or by a somewhat shady author. This book, however, was a great combination of writing, humor, knowledge, and practicality. So, I ended up buying it and read it 3 times as I completely remade our company website from scratch. i think this book is a great fit for someone who is beyond the absolute basics (although that's covered here too) but probably isn't planning to be doing SEO every minute of every day as your full-time job. Doing everything in this book will get you really far and if you need more info, there's a ton of blogs and websites you can keep up with for the nitty gritty daily advancements of SEO.
Great Presentation October 17, 2009
William E. Starkey (Ohio)
I liked that this book offered "realistic" methods for SEO. The authors seem to understand the limited time a small business person has and presents ways to get your SEO done in a time efficient manner. I liked the "Pearl of Wisdom" notes that presented helpful "real world" information on the subject being discussed. They also discuss many different must-have tools and references to web sites that are very useful. The book offered great presentation and was very informative.
Top SEO book for serious webpreneurs July 19, 2009
Harry J. White (Vancouver, BC)
I researched for two days before choosing this book. No other book gets to the meat of SEO quickly enough. This book assumes you already know how the internet works, and how to code some basic HTML. It is not for a rank beginner. This results in a much more efficient read for someone who wants to seriously increase their site's search engine rankings. I also liked the hour-a-day concept. Whether you are a professional SEO or small part-timer, having someone break down a long and sometimes puzzling task into smaller pieces is very useful. Look at the top 10 SEO books available through Amazon and you will see this is one of the best.
Too wordy May 11, 2009

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is extremely wordy, although they do know what they are talking about. It's the structure of the book that made me return it, it was all over the place jumping back (remember ch.5? no sorry, I dont) and forward to the future (we will learn more in chapter 11...how about you just tell me now?.. I just didn't have the patience for it, picked up the Visual blueprint instead.
