Please recommend a good book on SEO

[RobertSeviour]

Hi, I have realised that I don't know enough about search engine optimisation. Can anyone recommend a good book or a course on that subject.

Thanks,

Robert

[bladerunner]

Dont know about books Rob but SEO Chat Forums - Search Engine Optimization is a good forum to hang out in, lots of tips and tricks

[Traffic-Bug]

Start with Google's Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide. Search for it and you will get it. Free of course

Im not currently utilising doing any SEO chasing as ive found far easier ways to generate profit, but it used to be my bread an butter. I tought myself how to SEO very effectively by reading forums then googling any topic i wanted to promote. Look at the number one ranking site and check out how many links they have, repitition of keywords, use of headings. Then go view source and look at thier metatags, keywords, title, description. How much content do they have, do they use RSS, regularly change content, have a blog etc. I nearly garauntee a new site using the same techniques as an existing site will outrank it with a tiny bit of blogging and forum surfing.

Brad Callen has a hard cover book that you can get for free on his site, all you have to do is pay for the shipping.

I haven't read it but everything else of his is top notch so I would imagine this would be too.

[Robertas]

Personally I think that the best place to learn about SEO is Stompernet. There are plenty of FREE material available from Stompernet and it is really, really, really, really, really valueable.

i believe aaron wall used to have a book that cost $97.. now its a monthly membership site thingy......

there's plenty of blogs that can get you the information that you want... try hitting google.... or u can visit this website PPC Management & SEO - The Wpromoter

[jeff1960]

SEO book by Arronn Wall. or look for countonuspr in this forum and ask him he is the go to expert when it comes to SEO

[hkay]

Very useful responses .....shall take a look at some of them

[scorpions84]

Free is ok, but you have to find and compile what are for real. If you really want to learn seo by paying, try to go to seomoz, they have good seo guides.

[alan57]

Definitely SEO Lies.

And it's one dollar.

Very easy to understand and act on.

I've found this for you. Andy gives some rock solid advice that can be used straight away. If you're really serious about SEO then you should have a look at the link above ;-)

Do a search on Google for "make money online" minus the quotations. On the first page, there should be a blog titled "How To Make Money Online For Beginners." It's run by a guy named Grizzly, and he knows his stuff. He would have to considering he ranks on the top of page one for such a competitive term. Learning from someone who walks the talk is always a good idea.

EDIT: thought I should mention that he's got several posts in his sidebar (scroll way down) that are a good place to start.

[RobertSeviour]

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions.

Robert

Just read seomoz and seobook blog posts and you get more data than any ebook on seo

[Shrinivas]

Hi,

I strongly recommne these two

1) Free Search Engine Optimization Course by Brad Callen
Free Search Engine Optimization Course

2) Make your links work by Ken Evoy
The SiteSell Value Exchange (scroll upto 50% to download)

both are FREE and worth a read.....

[Glenn72]

Justin Brooke has an SEO ebook WSO he was selling for $1. That would be my pick.

Also be sure to grab a free copy of this software - Free SEO Software | Traffic Travis by Affilorama which has a feature that rates your website based on certain keywords, gives you a score and lets you know what needs to be fixed. Definitely worth getting to optimise your pages.

[rparikh]

When i started learning i took help from "A to Z of SEO". You can find e-book without any cost. Also try to join forums, visit relevant blogs and subscribe for SEO newsletters. There are numerous resources of information on SEO over internet.

Forums will keep you updated always.

[eshus]

As far as my expereince goes, the best book is Google itself.. Simply register a domain.. select some low competitive keywords and start working on it.. You can get plenty of information on onsite and offsite SEO on google. After some days constantly review your SERP in google..This process will make you think on your strategies and it will work like magic.. Hope this helps you...

[clubvikram]

i would suggest you to get a Search engine optimization bible by Jerry L Ledford (i hope i spelled it correctly!) well, it is a good ebook to learn the basics of SEO, and it surely makes you jack of all trades as far as SEO is concerned.

Hi Robertas,

Some while after posting my original message I stumbled on Stompernet and signed up for a course. The production quality is patchy and the intro music apalling, but the SEO tutorials are excellent.

I just viewed the Stompernet Natural 2.0 tutorial and that is also very useful, so thanks a lot for the recommendation.

[neeru.seo]

[Agnel]

Try Google's "Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide". You can get basic ideas about SEO. This will be very useful to you.
