This book was a little on the skimpy side, but the information that was covered was nicely written. I wish this book had been more for SEO's than people trying to do SEO themselves. There are a lot of details in the book that an optimizer doesn't have to deal with. On the other hand, it did give me several good ideas for the future. I only took off 1 star because I skipped several chapters. I would recommend this book to others, in fact, I already have.

Want to get your business listing at the top of the search engines? It's essential, then, to have Insider SEO & PPC on your side: its chapters juxtapose case study examples with insights on bids, paid ads, positioning, strategies for landing pages, and relevant categories, and provide the best in applied logic and real-world examples.

This book provides only basic introduction about SEO and PPC.The You could probaly find these infomration around the search marketing related forum or we. No need to buy this book because no advanced techniques is provided. Wouldn't recommend to people who want to upgrade their Search Marketing skills.

I'm one of the authors of this book. The book covers four topics: a) online marketing (the Buying Cycle, ROI, and so on), b) SEO (how to modify the HTML to improve indexing), c) PPC (how to create and manage your ads in Google and other search engines), and d) analytics (how to use analytics to evaluate your ad campaigns, plus a comparison of three analytics packages).

We're co-founders and directors of an SEM company with 45 employees. The book is based on our internal notes on how to set up and manage campaigns. It also includes 26 case studies, with our recommendations and the results for the campaigns. We wrote the book so other PPC managers and people who manage their own PPC for their websites could learn how to do it professionally.

Yes, I wrote a review of Goodman's book, and it includes a negative statement because he made a glaring error. But my review of his is overall positive and I recommend his book. I've written a number of long reviews of other SEO and PPC books so customers and friends would know what to buy or avoid. Search for those on the web and you'll find a collection of useful reviews of SEO and PPC books.

The book is only $20 at Amazon. It'll save you a great deal of money in Google. You'll also understand more about PPC if you decide to hire someone to manage your PPC campaigns.

We have been in the IT service industry for 17 years, we were looking to increase the marketing performance of our website. This book put us right on track and saved us from getting sand boxed. Insider SEO & PPC also gave us the larger picture from google's perspective.

We were able to apply what we learned from the book to our website and increased our ranking dramatically. We our now providing SEO and PPC services to our clients. I hear the authors are writing a new book, I will be first in line.

This book has a big problem, i.e. mixing SEO with PPC. They are not the same! Any professoinal in the field can tell you that. The author also has a bad taste about shooting down competitor's book. He wrote bad review for Andrew Goodman's Winning with Google Adwords. The fact is that this book is also partly obsolete as Google has changed Adwords keywords tool, tracking results, etc.
