I have never taken the time to write a review about anything, but I wanted to give credit where credit was due. I have been in the Internet Marketing industry for 12 years and looking to enhance my career with SEO knowledge. I have read 2 other SEO books and countless SEO articles online. The SEO for 2010 book is the most detailed, “how-to” guide I have found to date. I love how it specifically recommends what tools to use, where to go for more information, and all the “white-hat” advice. With so many companies offering SEO services, it’s hard to decipher which advice to take. The recommendations in this book match some of the industry articles I have read, which lead me to believe I can trust what the authors are teaching. Even though there are some typos in the kindle version, I honestly don’t mind since the content is otherwise well written. Can’t wait to get the 2011 version which I am sure will speak about the Yahoo and Microsoft Search Alliance (I hope).

This book has been instrumental in helping me quickly understand the most accessible ways to optimize my site for search engines. There are no shorts cuts in this book. There are no promises. There are no guarantees. There is just straight “anecdotal” fact (as close as it can come to fact) with free helpful ways (links to tools) to scientifically test what the author suggests and recommends.
To be forthright, the authors do run or own SEO consulting companies, and there is every so gently a sales pitch slanted in that direction in this book, but rest assured that is only 1% of the books text, and it is of the nature “yes, this can get complicated, I’m still going to explain it to you, but I also understand if you are ready to hand this over to professionals, which we at will gladly help you with.”
However, seriously, don’t let that concern you or let it get in the way of taking a gander at this book. If you are a neophyte in SEO and haven’t been keeping up for a few years, I highly recommend this book to get you back up to speed with the current state of the art. The information is comprehensive, and if you ever think the author is talking through his hat and making stuff up…just go to google or bing with what he suggests and check it out for yourself. Most of the techniques are trivial to implement and silly not to in the same realm of “what can it hurt to try it”.
This book specifically advises against what you deep down know and suspect to be wrong. Link spamming, keyword stuffing, and many other exotic but disingenuous SEO techniques. His best advice is to make content that is worthwhile for someone to check you out and the search engines to link people to you…otherwise…really…do you deserve traffic? Along with that, how to make that content “optimized” for search engine consumption. It’s startling in it’s simplicity, but it’s good to know that there are some well understood techniques that may only take slight modification of what you are already doing naturally.
I read this book in a week and that was a busy week for me no less. I made notes of what I needed to do, what applied for me and my site, and have implemented 75% of my plan in the same week. I now look forward to the perpetual carrying out of the remaining 25% as a light and interesting burden.

I stayed up until 2 in the morning reading and implementing about 90% of chapters 1-4. There were certain things I couldn’t implement like ensuring my domain name included my keywords (already established). When I woke up this morning, I went from the bottom of page 3 to the bottom of page 2 from just changing my page titles, image optimazation, researching the BEST (not common or most competitive) “trophy” keywords, etc.
This book is
-step by step
-recommends/explains great tools to use
-easy to follow
-an interesting read with great topics
With 10 more chapters to go who knows… Like the book says, good page rank doesn’t happen over night.

I am a website owner that is so short of time, in a budget crunch and not much time. I have known that I needed to do something about Search Engine optimization for some time, but hiring an SEO firm is just too expensive. I must say, the author of this book makes it an easy read which is a pleasure is good for me. He plugs what he does from time to time but you can’t blame him. He knows what he is talking about and alot of theis stuff is over peoples heads and they need to know where to go and get help. Based on what I learned in this book I really feel confident to do my own SEO work. I feel that I know how to check when things change on the different search engine and how to judge my competition. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an SEO need.

This is a very good full of valuable information about search engine optimization. This is not a beginner’s book to SEO, it assumes basic knowledge. It is not on the other hand heavily technical. It does not give a formula for setting up a website to maximize its SEO potential. Websites are unique and require different strategies to maximize their SEO and this book explains it.
You will find lots of examples and techniques used in various ways that would increase the ranking within search engines. It also discusses, and gives examples of so-called tricks that have been used in the past to increase rankings. It does points out the danger of using such tricks in the present environment.
There is plenty of information for the web developers and webmasters to consider when developing for a site. Such as the drawbacks of using Flash or Silverlight in regards to SEO. The importance of naming conventions for such things as images. The book discusses site hierarchy as it applies to search engine optimization. Linking, the dos and don’ts. What works, what works best.
The book is an easy read, and although it requires some technical knowledge, almost anyone with a basic level of understanding should have no problem. If someone wants to be an SEO expert, they might feel the need to read this book will are cover to cover. For others it would make a good reference book or something to be skimmed through picking out the information that may apply to the work
