Book Description

September 28, 2009
This is a practical, hands-on book based around sound SEO techniques specifically applied to Drupal. Each chapter starts with a brief overview of the important concepts then quickly moves into practical step-by-step actions you can take immediately. Throughout the book, you'll get clear instructions and detailed screenshots, so you can see exactly what to do each step of the way. You will install and configure a selection of Drupal modules ? each of which will move you one step closer to optimization. Chapter-by-chapter, your Drupal site will become more optimized so that by the end of the book, your site is 100% ready for Google. This book is written for Drupal site owners and those who create Drupal sites including themers, developers, programmers, and consultants. A basic understanding of Drupal will be helpful: what a node is, how to create nodes, how to log in to the admin sections of your Drupal site, and how to properly install and enable a module. No knowledge of SEO will be assumed but a basic knowledge of search engines is expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good review of Drupal SEO tools October 13, 2009
By negu
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I work for an SEO company in colorado as a php/javascript/drupal developer. I had written the staff training material for drupal, which includes drupal specific training for our optimization department.

What I can say about this book is that it pretty much covers exactly what I have in my material with a more comprehensive section on how to use RDF and Calais' webAPI service, which is something well beyond the scope of most people's understanding in our company. For example, when i say microformats or 'semantic web' to them, i might as well be speaking in tongues. But that's ok, because now they have a copy of the book to learn these things.

In case you didn't get it, I recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great hands-on guide for practitioners November 3, 2009
Format:Paperback
There are a lot of books about SEO and a lot of books about Drupal, but this is the first one I've seen specifically on SEO for Drupal sites. As such, it's a tightly focused guide that is packed full of Drupal-specific optimization tips.

I was really impressed with the practical and helpful "how to" approach of this book. A lot of authors (myself included) can't help but get preachy at times. But Ben manages to avoid that trap and stays laser-focused on his topic and providing concrete guidance for exactly how to optimize your site. There are plenty of helpful graphics and screen shots to help keep things interesting, and step-by-step explanations for how to do everything he recommends. This is definitely a reference guide that any Drupal developer or site manager should read and then keep within close reach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Drupal SEO guide and source November 1, 2010
By Michael
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I own an internet company and we are working with Drupal for the last three years.
I'm reading the Volacci Search Marketing blog, and find them real SEO experts. Recently I decided to purchase the Drupal 6 Search Engine Optimization book, that was written by Volacci's founder and CEO Benjamin Finklea.

The book is a perfect guide to optimize your Drupal site for the search engines. It reviews modules, techniques, and suggests lots of tips for the best SEO implementations and configurations.
I'm using the book. And recommend it to our customers - You should try it as well.

See you on the first places in Google : )
