Jackman Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:56:46 +0000 http://www.clementfaria.com/blog/?p=169#comment-691 For the small business owner who is looking for a clear and simple guide to implementing a range of SEO techniques or who simply wants to understand SEO concepts before engaging an SEO professional this book is ideal. The author clearly identifies SEO concepts, identifying some simple free SEO tools, and then moves through a step by step process for carrying out your own SEO. There is some coding involved (as you would expect) but the reader is not overwhelmed with jargon and the processes are clear enough for even the novice. <br /> <br />The book includes an extensive glossary and FAQ for reference, again very helpful for those with limited knowledge. However don't expect this to be the only SEO book you buy though. It is not a complete guide to everything SEO, nor does it need to be (nor would I expect that one exists!). There's plenty of SEO books out there but for the small business owner or anyone looking for some simple, practical and relatively easy techniques for carrying out their own SEO this is the book to get started with.

Busalacchi Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:56:49 +0000 http://www.clementfaria.com/blog/?p=169#comment-689 Stephen Woessner's book was easy to read and use because he employs step-by-step instructions. The most challenging aspect of implementing his advice to find two key words to plant on main web pages is that it's extremely difficult to find the words that meet his criteria! I've spent many hours searching and devising new combinations of words to find the ones that are searched but will not put my site up against literally millions of others! Unfortunately, I have not gotten the hang of it and am not sure I will. It may simply be that the kind of work I do, public relations and writing, is extremely common across the globe so there is inherently a lot of competition. I am still going to follow his advice and see if my web traffic and conversion rates do indeed improve. I haven't completed the process yet. Woessner makes a convincing case for his recommenations and I am glad I bought his book. Rating: 4 / 5 Stephen Woessner’s book was easy to read and use because he employs step-by-step instructions.

Elsen Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:48:52 +0000 http://www.clementfaria.com/blog/?p=169#comment-688 I have always been skeptical of SEO materials, and have also been intimated by the process, assuming it was a difficult and mysterious process only a chosen few could understand. I was seriously shocked at this book because of how easy it was to read and understand. I am not a programmer, but I do have an ecommerce web site that was not showing up well organically in search results. I followed this book's 15-step process and now my site is showing up on page 1 for my main keyword, and page 2 for my secondary keyword. To get through the 15 steps does take some time and thought; I probably spent about 5 hours of time, but I am sure that time gets cut down as you optimize more and more pages. It takes several weeks after optimizing your page for your organic position to change, but be patient, it will happen if you follow the steps! If you are looking for an SEO tool that WORKS and can be easily understood and followed, THIS IS THE BOOK YOU WANT!! <br /> <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 I have always been skeptical of SEO materials, and have also been intimated by the process, assuming it was a difficult and mysterious process only a chosen few could understand.

If you keep up on changes suggested in this book and your website content follows his simple steps and you shouldn't have any problem getting to the front page of Google with minimal effort! I've noticed the success almost instantly. I highly recommend this book for personal or businesses looking to increase traffic!
