I found Mike's book Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Secrets for 2010 by Michael Monahan on Amazon and followed the brilliant advice from cover to cover. Mike's recommendation to consider their services at websitesubmitter and came as a personal recommendation that I needed. In the past I paid for an SEO service that did not materialise and as they say `once bitten twice shy' I am without a doubt very wary! I'm now ranking very well on Yahoo and on the 1st page with at least 2 keywords and things are similar on Bing and Google is improving too. This is thanks to the book and their services!

Furthermore, the SEO Secrets book is an awesome reference guide that I keep with me and have already recommended to all my friends. I see know Amazon have the 2011 edition in print and I literally just now ordered my copy because now I realise I have to keep on top of algorithm changes. I appreciate that in the world of SEO things change fast and that's a good thing - it gives new starters like me a fighting chance at getting in the action, the next challenge is staying up there and next year I'll be looking for the update again and in the meantime I'll take your advice and keep abreast with your recommended online sources for tips and news.

The book has a number of typos but I quickly read through those and this is only a superficial criticism that reflects not poor quality but an awesome service that Mike and Sean of SEOTechMasters at Websitesubmitter are hard at work helping create more traffic for people like me.

This book contains a lot of good info especially the meta tips for Bing. The author even touches a bit on PPC marketing.

I didn't mind the author's self-praise as he is very knowledgeable and has established himself as an expert in this field. He's just selling himself and his services to the reader. The thing that did bother me was all of the typos. I had to re-read some parts just to figure out what he was saying. Some paragraphs just trail off with no end. For instance:
Page 170, end of the second paragraph reads: "This will help you your focus as the purpose of making critical changes to your website,"
Page 172, third paragraph last sentence "Search engines don't like websites that"

I felt like I was reading a draft and not professionally published work. If you can get past all of the errors though there is useful data here.

I bought 3 books at the time I bought this one. I returned the other two. This book is genius. Has everything you need and in the right amount of detail. It was so helpful, I even emailed my web designer with corrections that they needed to make.

This is a good book for anyone who wants to understand the complex and ever changing world of SEO and website marketing. I already knew some of the information but he puts it down in a written format that helps in making sure you have covered all the aspects of SEO marketing and you can double check that you are doing all you can.

The book does have a few good pointers for SEO, but the rest of the book is full of the author saying how difficult SEO is and how awesome him and his company are, and how all his clients were completely lost before using his services and now they are doing so great because he (the author) saved them and their businesses. I find very difficult to trust the information in any book where the author is pushing very hard his own services. Waste of money. DO NOT BUY.
