3.0 out of 5 stars Could Have Been Much Better, January 18, 2009
By Aaauger (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This SEO guide favors natural search over paid search. And half of the book is devoted to indirect topics.

This guide has some SEO good content but stops short. As Amazon points out, the book is illustrated, but the illustrations are not of SEO examples. And they're so faint and small as to be illegible. The book is missing examples of SEO in general. For example, what's the best way to work meaningful hypertext into a backlinked article? What's the best way to avoid a duplicate content penalty when creating a media room or distributing content?

Another issue with the book is the content which is semi-useful. There are lists and lists of resource links in the back but they have no descriptions. The chapter about psychographics is simplistic to the point of inaccuracy and isn't integrated with the rest of the book. The chapter on black-hat SEO is interesting but not overly useful. And there's a whole chapter devoted to long-tail keywords which combined may not surpass the results of primary keywords. The small chapter on conversion can't do the topic justice. The individual sections on dumping a server log to Excel and outbound links are intriguing but just plain confusing.

One more issue with the book is the lack of information, ex. on important HTML and page layout techniques that can boost SEO, on the fact that many search engines feed each other. Paid search content glosses over ad creation and omits bid strategy. The resource links in the back omit one of the major web analytics firms and all search engine monitoring sites.

While this book has some merit, it should have stuck with SEO specifically (not site development, psychographics, conversion, etc.) and provided more detail. As it is, it cannot be used as a sole reference. And the title's implication that the book can help the reader "make lots of money" is misleading. Even good SEO doesn't guarantee that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, June 7, 2008
Jon Rognerud has compiled a comprehensive resource in Entrepenuer Magazine's entry into the SEO how-to. It is also open-ended, in that readers can sign up on his website for more information and updates. This is a Web 2.0 book, in the truest sense. I would usually get a book like this from the library, but I purchased it so I could refer back to it over the coming years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource, September 8, 2008
I saw this book advertised in Entrepreneur Magazine and knew I needed help with my new ecommerce site [...] so I went on-line and bought myself a copy. The ROI on this resource tool is beyond measure. This 203 page book and accompanying CD contains so much useful information that it makes my head spin. Most of the content was easily understood by someone who is not a web master. I did not realize how critical keywords and links were to SEO. I got busy right away improving my content and links. This is a book I plan to re-read several times until I have optimized my search engine results. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to increase web traffic.
