Amazing Blue Print For SEM! June 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have never met Kris Jones, but know many people in the Internet marketing industry who have a lot of respect for him. I actually own an Internet marketing company, [...], and one of the services we offer is Internet marketing training.
We have created our own materials that we use in our training programs, but we are now making plans to use this book instead. The book is filled with the same information that we teach every day to our customers, but the way that it is laid out is extremely easy to understand and implement.
The last thing I must say is that Kris isn't a "feel good" kind of guy. He says it how it is. Internet marketing is an extremely time consuming thing and he tells you that. There are no "black hat" techniques taught that will get you banned from the SERPS.
This book could (and really should) be used in college level marketing degree curriculum's.

Many SEO books focus on keyword optimization, but this little number is a veritable compendium of techniques. If you applied half of what you'll find in here, your site would be more optimized than you can even imagine. This covers everything from content to links to blogs to micro-blogs to forums to reviews to directories and communities and ad copy and keyword bidding... whew. No other books comes even close to the variety of options that Kristopher's book has. You'll learn more about variations of SEO techniques from this book than any other source. So start here, and if you need to go further in depth on any of the topics, you can branch off into some of the other fine books out there on specific topics like landing page and keyword optimization.
Best book on modern SEO May 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The very most up to date and, in my opinion, the most intelligent book about modern SEO that I have read in the last two years. I think that SEO is in a new phase or in a new era. In this new era is absolutely necessary know a lot of thing about keyword generation, web 2.0, site structuring, social web, social media optimization, SEO plug-ins, etc. and this book is plenty of information about this new SEO era. However maybe is it not an absolutely beginners book. In my opinion, probably requires a few prior knowledge of the field. The compensation: probably the best 2007/2008 SE0 book.
The book is great! Covers SEO, SEM, and affiliate marketing programs May 21, 2008

I read Search Engine Optimization: Your Visual Blueprint for Effective Internet Marketing by Kris Jones from cover-to-cover. Go ahead and buy it! It's really a top-notch book!
Don't let the title fool you. The book covers much more than search engine optimization. It's really a domain spanning book, and one of the first published works that I have seen to integrate search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), and affiliate marketing programs (AFP). From nearly any perspective, these three areas of expertise all have one overlapping goal --- providing the right content where it will be seen by the right person at the right time. Leveraging support and expertise from Pepperjam, Jones does an excellent job of integrating these three areas into a near seamless package. In this respect, the book is really ground breaking, and a harbinger of things to come in how these areas will be viewed.
The 296 page book has eleven chapters, an introductory history of SEO, and a nine page index. Each of the eleven chapters has a standard organization that is clear and readable. Each chapter begins with a two page overview, with each of topics that the chapter covers in easy-to-read callout boxes, along with a larger callout box providing information on some unique concept or tool related to the chapter. The remainder of the chapter is divided into sections corresponding to the callout boxes in the two-page chapter introduction. It is a really neat layout that is effective and efficiency for both a complete read and returning to for a reference.
The eleven chapters are: Getting started with SEO, keyword generation, creating pages, basic Website structure, advanced Website structure, creating content, creating communities, building links, using Google analytics, social media optimization, creating pay-for-click campaigns, optimizing PPC campaigns, optimizing for niche search engines, monetizing traffic, and installing SEP plug-ins.
As a person active in the areas of SEO and SEM, I was interested in the book's topics but, honestly, really thought that I wouldn't learn much that was new to me. I was totally wrong! The chapters are packed with worthwhile information in a `how-to' format. I learned loads of worthwhile and actionable information.
In any book that I review, I try to find something that one could improve upon. One suggestion that I would have is a reference list at the end of each chapter pointing to further reading on chapter topics. This would broaden the audience from primarily practitioners to include also educators, trainers, and researchers. However, this is nick picking.
The book is great!
It really is an SEO Blueprint!! WONDERFUL JOB - Thanks May 21, 2008

Great job!!! It really is an SEO Blueprint, everything is their and laid out so perfectly.
Realizing, for quite some time, that SEO is an integral and most important point of any internet venture, I purchased several books on SEO to be knowledge enough to implement SEO in my ventures.
After reading several books, I became very frustrated due to them being so terrible is every way possible.
Then came along your wonderful & informative book, were I now am confident and having a strong understanding of SEO. - Thanks.
