Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Authors are at their best when they write the kind of books they wish they could have in their hands and this book is no exception. Writing it I put in the experience of over 15 years spent on the web as an optimizer and web content developer and held nothing back. I wrote it with the intent to put the search engine optimizer out of business. That way I was able to include all the knowledge and all the tools you need to have in order to optimize your website yourself and I can guarantee that if you follow all the instructions included in the book your website will get to the first page of Google. If you buy 'SEO Help: 20 steps to get your website to Google's #1 page' and it helps please leave some feedback and a review here. If you think it can be improved in any way do not hesitate to let me know. (edited by author)

I am new to the SEO game and as a new website owner I thought it was going to be difficult. This is the third SEO book I tried and the one which made be believe in the power of the web. My site is on Google's first page for 10 main keywords and I have now seen it begin to rise in both Yahoo and BING and I am over the moon! The good news is that I have not even touched on half the chapters. I was just so happy to see it perform so well I have just kept on doing what worked. The book is easy to understand. The chapters are short and to the point and I just love the straightforward honesty. For me this is a big winner. If you are new to the SEO game or are simply tired of the same mumbo-jumbo everyone's spouting this is gold!

If you're anything like me you'd be forgiven for thinking that SEO is some kind of magical language that makes search engines sit up and beg. It's not and this book is a great help in understanding what to do in plain English just so you can get your website indexed fast and indexed well. Until I read it I was prepared to spend endless hours with a dictionary trying to understand what I needed to do. With `SEO Help' I managed to learn the basics about SEO in just over a day plus it gave me all the places to go online in order to use the same tools SEO experts use when they analyze a website and learn about its keywords and what the competition is doing.

SEO is not magic and the author goes into extreme pains to explain that. The book is very practical in terms of advice and it does actually make you feel that, for once, you are in control of what your website does on the web. I never thought I would ever say this but I feel that I finally understand SEO!
