I found the concepts very difficult to follow
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought this book after launching a new website. I thought that because it was the most popular that it would give me a fast way to improve my search engine results. After getting about half way through the book, I put it down and haven’t gotten back to it since.
I found the search engine optimization jargon and techniques a little too advanced for my liking. Although some of the content provides new information, I didn’t feel like it truly helped me to improve my ranking. There appear to be some other books on SEO that may be a bit more simple to understand.

A GOLDMINE OF INFORMATION TO NEVER BE WITHOUT!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have several websites that are currently looking to optimize their traffic to each site, but to do the task for myself was a daunting one. I could figure out the simple things, such as sending out emails to specific lists and advertising through friend’s sites and reviews, but anything more than that was far beyond my capabilities. In a single reading of this book, that has drastically changed.
Blankson has created an effortless read. The layout is such that you can read the whole book for a step-by-step process, which I would recommend, or pick out the areas most relevant to your needs. His language is easy to follow for anyone and jargon that must be used is fully explained. His book is full of essential suggestions, like using social sites and how to best showcase your site, and more advanced suggestions like how to improve your page ranking and to optimizing keywords. One of the things that helped me the most was that his every concept was coupled with sites and links that allowed you to begin the process and in many cases explained things even further. This allowed him to wean out the fluff usually included and focus on the relevant aspects. His appendixes alone will save you time and frustration and make this book more than worthwhile.
I am now fully confident that I have the tools I need to create more traffic for the sites I work for. This is a book that I will always keep close by the computer. It far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to optimize their search engine potential.
Educate yourself – web marketing research at its best!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
As a freelance writer, I am often approached by companies needing web content with very strict guidelines – and very often had no idea what they were talking about! I did my best to avoid taking these jobs, since I was definitely uneducated in regards to internet marketing. Terms like “SEO” and “pay-per-click” seemed way over my head. Once I decided to take the time to study up on this subject, and picked up a copy of Blankston’s book, everything fell into place. My income has nearly doubled since I took the time to read up on the subject, and I’ve kept it on my desk ever since – it’s a great reference even after you finish it.
This book is a must have for internet business owners
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This book was a blessing for me to have come across. I own a handful of online stores and businesses. I have spent thousands of dollars on eBooks and manuals guaranteed to show me results. Of course, these books were all pretty much the same thing. Only about two percent of the information contained in these books pertained to me or my situation. Then I came across Samuel Blankson’s book, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), and read it in a single day.
He manages to leave out all of the irrelevant information that most e-books and informational portals fill their pages with. The book targeted the specific questions, ideas and information I had been looking for as an everyday person trying to promote my online business. He helped to deliver a total understanding of who is on the internet, what they are looking for, how they are looking for it and how they want it delivered.
This book walks you through everything from setting up your website, META and TITLE tags, troubleshooting, sitemaps, keywords, site content and search engine optimizations. It is a one stop resource for all your online marketing needs. Samuel also provides information on several directories you can add your website to.
If you have a question about SEO’s or marketing your online business, this book has the answers. Language barriers? There is a section on that. Promoting your site through the use of social networks? Covered. How can you really promote your business through the world of blogging? Read about it.
There are so many ways to get the word out there, and this book covers them all. You will be amazed at all the resources, knowledge and ideas this book has to offer. I have personally used a few tips from the book over the past week and have already seen traffic to my website double. I cannot wait to implement more of the things I have learned.
