I am looking for a decent book on SEO... one that is up to date, and covers the whole spectrum from links to ethical and black hat (NOT that i would want to do this of course, its just that it would be good to have a broad knowledge of all aspects) Not really up for people offering 'get rich quick' type ebook etc. I am really looking for a recomendation of a decent paper based book to be honest, but would consider an ebook as a last resort.... Thanks ! Mike Ps. if there are a couple of books recommended thats fine, its just if i try to look in the search engines there are pages upon pages of silly results !
I don't think there is such a book. There are however separate e-books and such available for each of those things. Not to mention free info www.totaldmag.com/seo.html
Cool thanks, So how do the 'experts' learn? - Practice n trial and error? - or reading every post at DP ! lol !
a lot of it is trial and error, I know thats how I learned a lot. www.theseokit.com I sell some products, not all up on this new site yet but.
Its not a book but I am sure you will find some valuable insight on my blog. Start here. Basic ranking factors I also know of a member of these forums, Thegypsy who has a good seo book for like 10 bucks as well you might like.
B/c there god and they wrote google's algo???? One thing with the seo game is its good to read a LOT of resources. Not just one. Diversify your knowledge.
Trial and error sometimes comes into play. Learning SEO is all about staying on top of the current trends. Several websites have posted seo tutorials to help get someone started then it is a matter of keeping up with changes by visiting webmaster forums.
It's meme time!! I wrote an eBook covering the foundational aspects of SEO... if you print it out ..it CAN be a 'Paper' variety... it's just that U have to supply the paper... Lol HERE is some links to my other writings.. you can get an idea of what I am about --- so if you're looking to Learn SEO it is a great book to build a foundation. SEE my Siggy for the SEO Handbook Wow... that was some fun self-promotion... he he..thanks other Books; SEO Book by Aaron Wall; http://www.seobook.com/ Mike Grehan SEO Book; http://www.search-engine-book.co.uk/ Buyers Guide to SEO; http://www.sherpastore.com/Buyers-Guide-Search-Engine-Optimization.html Internet Marketing for Dummies; http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesTitle/productCd-0764507788.html
Dave, how come you didn't include the link to my books... Argh I will slice you now! HAHAHA Yeah I must say, I have read Dave's SEO Hand Book. It has a lot of must know SEO info! I already knew 95% of the stuff mentioned but that book would have saved me a lot of wasted time.
I rarely give the ol thumbs up on much of anything ( twice on my site I believe) - Lot's of people send me stuff (books, software yada yada) to review... I just never get the time... Besides, did U send me a copy?? As fer mine.. U gotta get in on the Affiliate action while the getting is good.. he he -- http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=227828
Hmmm. i saw the services you offer... but what about the link to your book? - Bought thegypsy's book... cheers ! I was looking at www.seobook.com, but i read somewhere it was a bit black hat.... that true?
Heck no... Aaron's book is probably the most popular publication.. it's a bit weighty at 350+ pages.. so I decided to create a series of handbooks... there was interest in the focus groups for smaller more ON-Topic Handbook style publications... so that's where I headed... If Aaron DOES Black or White... is another matter for debate... He's certainly a WHatter - but let's just say say he is familiar with SEOs from all shades of the spectrum - ( Rand to Greywolf to DaveN ) It's a good book though.. no quams about it from me.... CHEERs on the Purchase... Hope it's worth the $10 - and yer welcome to harass me via email now and again if you'd like.
I never read the SEObook.com only Dave's 2007 hand book http://www.the-seo-handbook.com/ . I don't know about SEO book.
