I got this book as a price stuffer to [receive] free shipping at Amazon.com a while back. When I finally got around to reading it, I realized what a waste of paper it was. I cannot stress enough how outdated and lame this book is. The advise is amateurish and impractical for a website of any significant scale. It's a 56 page oversized pamphlet written in 12 or 14 font with no photos or screenshots. The illustrations are done by 1st graders and the entire "commandments" tone of voice is quite demeaning. There is hardly any useful advice here, you're better off finding updated knowledge online. The only joy I got was trying to find how many typos there were. Thumbs way down, I would not even donate this so called book to a book drive. I don't know what the other reviewers saw in this book.

I purchased the book to help me get my own website listed on the Search Engines. This book listed everything I needed to do as well as gave me several pointers that I didn't know about. My site now ranks great!

I note that both earlier reviewers are from IL. You don't think the authors optimized their own reviews, you do?

This book is a great beginners guide and reference and was very helpful to me. I recommend it to everyone. My website was not doing very well when I purchased this book and now it is doing great.
