Book Description

August 19, 2009
The Small Business Owner's Handbook to Search Engine Optimization is ideal for small business owners who want to learn an efficient and effective process for dramatically improving their Web site's search engine rankings and doubling their site's monthly unique visitors. Guaranteed! Stephen Woessner, of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Small Business Development Center, is a search engine optimization (SEO) expert. But more importantly, Woessner has owned four businesses and understands the significant time and cash constraints faced by business owners every day. Because of this, Woessner placed increasing efficiency and effectiveness at the core of the 15-steps allowing a business owner to maximize results in as little time as possible. A business owner does not need to know technical skills, like Web programming, to be successful at SEO. Instead, business owners will rely on their marketing skill and the ability to think like their customers and prospects, versus an ability to write HTML or other form of Web programming. Business owners will learn how to select keywords that are proven performers, blend the keywords into site content, boost site popularity, and more. Woessner explains with precision how business owners can use SEO to achieve measurable results. This practical and tactical guide includes a free SEO toolkit and other valuable resources that will help business owners increase the return on investment generated by their Web sites. Business owners will also receive a detailed blueprint with specific checklists to follow throughout the 15-step process. Lastly, this book can also serve as an excellent resource to business owners who are considering outsourcing their SEO work to a third-party. Developing a working knowledge of the 15-step process will make any business owner a more informed consumer. This book is also an ideal resource for marketing and advertising agency professionals who want to expand their services and need to develop a proficiency in SEO as efficiently and effectively as possible.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the worst books I have read and could be a 20 page pamphlet, July 31, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Small Business Owner's Handbook to Search Engine Optimization: Increase Your Google Rankings, Double Your Site Traffic...In Just 15 Steps - Guaranteed (Paperback)
I am a computer person and business owner who bought this book for a friend. The idea was for the friend to learn a little about SEO, so we would have a point of reference when we talked. I quickly read the book (large print, plenty of white space) and found it of no value to pass along.

This book is not geared towards a business person, recommends buying an expensive ($99) add-on DVD, and appears to be printed without editing.

The following example is printed on page 82:

[...]


The included worthless stories about relatives accomplishments, personal accomplishments, teaching experience, buy the DVD, and filler should be removed. The 15 SEO steps could easily be summed up in a 20 page pamphlet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Step-by-Step Guide, September 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Small Business Owner's Handbook to Search Engine Optimization: Increase Your Google Rankings, Double Your Site Traffic...In Just 15 Steps - Guaranteed (Paperback)
Stephen's book is a great resource for those of us who aren't expert web geeks. The step-by-step process can be implemented by most business people that have some computing and internet experience. It is also a good read if you are hiring someone to do SEO for a site so you are informed and can ask good questions of a consultant. Good work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly easy to understand and WOW- effective!, September 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Small Business Owner's Handbook to Search Engine Optimization: Increase Your Google Rankings, Double Your Site Traffic...In Just 15 Steps - Guaranteed (Paperback)
I have always been skeptical of SEO materials, and have also been intimated by the process, assuming it was a difficult and mysterious process only a chosen few could understand. I was seriously shocked at this book because of how easy it was to read and understand. I am not a programmer, but I do have an ecommerce web site that was not showing up well organically in search results. I followed this book's 15-step process and now my site is showing up on page 1 for my main keyword, and page 2 for my secondary keyword. To get through the 15 steps does take some time and thought; I probably spent about 5 hours of time, but I am sure that time gets cut down as you optimize more and more pages. It takes several weeks after optimizing your page for your organic position to change, but be patient, it will happen if you follow the steps! If you are looking for an SEO tool that WORKS and can be easily understood and followed, THIS IS THE BOOK YOU WANT!!
