Everything you ever wanted to know about SEO

I went looking for a book that could instruct me on the ins and outs of search engine marketing (SEO). After spending some time reviewing the options, I decided to purchase Mr. Rognerud’s book and am thoroughly pleased with my choice. I found his book to be extremely informative and helpful in terms of how to set my web site up to rank higher on search engines and drive more traffic to my site. As a bonus, I also learned a great deal about click through marketing, a subject totally foreign to me previously. The book also comes with a CD that is loaded with related content and examples. In addition, great detail is given about how to drive qualified buyer traffic to your web site and how to convert that traffic into sales when it arrives. The biggest surprise was when I emailed Mr. Rognerud with a question, he emailed me right back.
The author’s expertise and knowledge in the area of search engine optimization, marketing and web marketing shows through in a well written book that will appeal to the non-technical and technical reader alike. I highly recommend this book for those looking to increase traffic to their web site. Whether you are a businessperson or a programmer, if you want to optimize your web site, you need this book.
Very Helpful

This book is great for novices who don’t know a lot about SEO because it’s really easy to understand and contains tons of practical advice. I found it very useful, and my website moved up in the rankings almost immediately after I started implemented what it said. I can’t wait to try other tips in the book and see what more great results I get!
Could Have Been Much Better
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This SEO guide favors natural search over paid search. And half of the book is devoted to indirect topics.
This guide has some SEO good content but stops short. As Amazon points out, the book is illustrated, but the illustrations are not of SEO examples. And they’re so faint and small as to be illegible. The book is missing examples of SEO in general. For example, what’s the best way to work meaningful hypertext into a backlinked article? What’s the best way to avoid a duplicate content penalty when creating a media room or distributing content?
Another issue with the book is the content which is semi-useful. There are lists and lists of resource links in the back but they have no descriptions. The chapter about psychographics is simplistic to the point of inaccuracy and isn’t integrated with the rest of the book. The chapter on black-hat SEO is interesting but not overly useful. And there’s a whole chapter devoted to long-tail keywords which combined may not surpass the results of primary keywords. The small chapter on conversion can’t do the topic justice. The individual sections on dumping a server log to Excel and outbound links are intriguing but just plain confusing.
One more issue with the book is the lack of information, ex. on important HTML and page layout techniques that can boost SEO, on the fact that many search engines feed each other. Paid search content glosses over ad creation and omits bid strategy. The resource links in the back omit one of the major web analytics firms and all search engine monitoring sites.
While this book has some merit, it should have stuck with SEO specifically (not site development, psychographics, conversion, etc.) and provided more detail. As it is, it cannot be used as a sole reference. And the title’s implication that the book can help the reader “make lots of money” is misleading. Even good SEO doesn’t guarantee that.
