What I appreciate most about this book is that Liam does a thorough job identifying the basic principles of SEO and including examples. The great thing is that on page 62, he lists his contact information so if you have any specific questions he’s more than happy to answer your questions. I’ve had the privilege of meeting him in person and he sure is a great guy!
Just get the book…it’s not even that much!

This book gives specific instructions for each of the 55 ways to drive traffic to your website. We all know keywords are important, but Mr. Scanlan teaches us how to determine which keywords are the most effective, how many keywords to use and specifically where to put the keywords. Google analytics are also demystified. I also found the advice given on the types of blog postings to use and the timing and frequency of blog posts invaluable. But the best thing about this book is that the advice works (and it is easy to use). He even gives a moneyback guarantee! (p. 62)

Necessary primer for every business with a website. Scanlan is detailed and specific, someone else said like a recipe and this is an award winner! Nothing is held back and if you buy only a few books, make sure you get all of his and watch the skyrocketing impact on your business.
He boils down a confusing subject to simple steps and explanations. Everyone can understand this book and put it into use immediately.

What I appreciate more than anything about this book is that it is clear and easy for me to understand exactly what I need to do to accomplish optimizing my website. It is written in a style that someone like me (a do-it-yourselfer) can comprehend and implement…and I am generally a non-technical type of person.
