I stayed up until 2 in the morning reading and implementing about 90% of chapters 1-4. There were certain things I couldn’t implement like ensuring my domain name included my keywords (already established). When I woke up this morning, I went from the bottom of page 3 to the bottom of page 2 from just changing my page titles, image optimazation, researching the BEST (not common or most competitive) “trophy” keywords, etc.
This book is
-step by step
-recommends/explains great tools to use
-easy to follow
-an interesting read with great topics
With 10 more chapters to go who knows… Like the book says, good page rank doesn’t happen over night.

I own a salon and have a website which I rely on for business and I couldn’t get people to find it. I haven’t ever left a review but I tell you, I read this book and took the authors advice and I will tell you it is paying off for me. As a business ower you have to use SEO to get ahead and get people to your website and this book is really easy to understand. I have implimented more than half of it and look forward to seeing what the other half can do for me since the first half results have been so good.

This is the best book I have found for both Google and Bing optimization. I own a restaurant and I am not kidding. My business showed up on page 26 of a Google search. After reading this book I have implimented about 25% of it and I am already on page 2 of Google and page 1 of Bing for my search terms. And thanks to this book, I know how to see what my rankings are on Google and Bing. I highly recommend this book.

I bought this book after hearing about Sean Odom at a trade show. A competing SEO Company owner actually recommended the book and told me it was the most straight forward and easy to understand book he has ever seen. So I bought the book and he is exactly right on the money. This book is setup step-by-step, the coding is done step by step and I thoroughly found this book to be so easy to follow along. I bought several other books and before this one, SEO was still a mystery to me. I have left I think one other review on books the whole time so you should add some weight to the value of my comments.

First, if you spend $10 on this book, and you know nothing about SEO, you will likely learn enough basics to improve your web business somewhat and will certainly get your $10 worth.
However, the claims of the authors and the other reviewers here are on the rosy side, to say the least.
The authors did suggest several things about optimizing web pages and search engine/directory submissions that, if actually effective, I didn’t know and will help out my web sites.
However, about 1/3rd of the book is really helpful. The rest is just repetition, at times the same information over and over again in one paragraph after another. Far too much of the book is spent trying to convince you that what the authors want you to do is correct, rather than just telling you the right things to do.
A considerable portion of the last half of the book is spent on a blow by blow description of self evident operations of the Google Adwords site. There are two major problems with this. First, the authors start out by telling you that if you are new to the concept, it would be miraculous if you could devise your own effective pay per click program. Second, in all the voluminous information they give you on pay per click, not once do they mention the single most important trick to successful pay per click programs.
The second half of the book is barely readable. It is filled with spelling errors, wrong words, grammatical errors, run on sentences, sentence fragments, and at times complete nonsense sentences. Obviously it was not edited AT ALL. Neither author has a clue that an apostrophe may be used to denote the possessive. It was clearly not even spell checked, much less run thru something as easy to get your hands on and use as Word’s grammar checker. Reading half of a book that constantly annoys the sensibilities of a literate reader is not a happy experience.
The graphical exhibits in the Kindle Edition might as well have been omitted. They are not formatted in anything near the resolution or size needed to be legible or clear in the Kindle device.
Sean Odom makes a big point early in the book that most of these SEO How To books are filled with repetition and fluff, but HIS book is not like that. Sadly, it IS like that. The repetition goes FAR beyond drilling an important concept into your head, and the repetitions are filled with very general information rather than nuts and bolts direction.
The book often (far more than the 1% another review claimed) devolves into a blatant sales pitch for the authors’ SEO company and its services. You are often told that even if you follow all the advice in the book, you’ll never do it as well or efficiently as a real SEO pro, and so you should really just hire them.
Bottom line: as mentioned above, if you know nothing about SEO, you’ll get your $10 worth. If you know more than the basics about how keywords relate to content, meta tags, and other HTML elements, this book is already beneath your knowledge threshold on SEO techniques.
The most valuable resource in the book may be lists of resources, such as PPC outlets, social networking sites, and effective search engines to submit to.
