SEO for WordPress: How To Get Your Website on Page #1 of Google...Fast! [2nd Edition]: Volume 2

This book is the best fiver I ever spent. I had to wait until 7.30 p.m. for Amazon delivery and after finishing what I needed to do I retired to bed to read it. It was easy to read and simple to understand and I had to get up and apply what I was learning immediately. Literally burning the midnight oil I uploaded all the recommended plugins to WordPress and lo and behold, not only could I understand better how WordPress works but my site www.yes-to-business.com started to glow!The very next day I received an e-mail from an investment consultancy based in China saying they understood the concept of what we were doing - with the goal at Yes! of the promotion, development, and mentoring of businesses in frontier and emerging nations and would we be [prepared to discuss intersections of our businesses and mutual promotion!

This book will give you a good understanding of SEO in a very easy to understand step by step process.It gives you a lot of tips and also recommendations for additional resources which are free.Highly recommended.

Great book that, for the price, I'll definitely receive a great ROI. I've also gained an awareness of how SEO works and more importantly why the techniques listed in the book will not become outdated

This is a short book, I think the idea is that you just take the author's word for it and just do everything he says without questioning why. Myself, I was hoping to learn a little about the why as well as the how. One of the plugins he recommends had quite bad reviews (apparently it installs ads on your website!) so I chose a different one. But it does have some good ideas which I've used.

This book totally inspired me and I am going to buy one more book from the author! I like to book as a printed item as well - very nice written, it is a pleasure to read. Thank you!

Good book, very easy to understand..

not the best book about SEO, sorry...

This book was great! It was very informative and educational while being short and to the point. If you have a basic understanding of websites and Google searching then this book is perfect. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to be on Google.

I'm fairly new to SEO and didn't know why my website wasn't ranking higher on search engines. After reading this book I discovered several things that I was doing wrong and will now be able to fix some of the issues that were identified in this book. This book is specific to WordPress and a few of the available plugins, but I found that the information crossed over to the plugins that I use (and that have been highly recommended elsewhere on the web). There are specific instructions and websites that are given to help you along the way, along with helpful pictures of screenshots and examples of how to apply the concepts in the book. VERY helpful - it's a pretty quick read, a great price, and an excellent resource for folks just getting their feet wet in the SEO ocean.

Good book. Clearly written and very helpful. We've hired a company to perform basic SEO tasks for us and the book gave us the info we needed to explain to our vendor exactly what we wanted.

I appreciate the straight forward approach to the topic. I have purchased three SEO Books and most are filled with fluff to beef up the page counts. I read it in one day and was excited to get started immediately. I recommend this book for the no nonsense approach and the rich content. Not one page of the book is wasted. Only wish the pictures were color but the lack of color doesn't detract from the information.

Right off the bat this book has problems:— Has a disclaimer that says, “this book will have some flaws and maybe a few grammatical errors. If you read for style or for literary quality, then this probably isn’t the book for you.” To ME that reads, “We’re too lazy (or cheap) to make sure this book is worth reading.”— Chapter 1 on Advance Keyword Research is already out of date. The instructions on how to use Google Keyword Planner is no longer applicable as Google has changed how Keyword planner works.— Keywordoptimizerpro.com requires you to download the software and is only available for Windows (not Mac).— Has outdated links to SEO Moz— Mentions plugins one needs to install without mentioning some of them might conflict with the other. Also does not mention Wordpress Jetpack which covers some of the plugins he lists, this includes commenting, sharing, and related posts.— Global keywords and front page keywords are no longer being used by Google for ranking. Google looks at page title, url, and page description for ranking purposes.— You do not need to bold or underline your keywords. Google, and other search engines, just looks at the first 100 words in your article.— Mentions you need to writer for your readers, not search engines, which is true. Says that keyword density is ridiculous and going overboard. But he uses incorrect grammar to stuff keywords in the previous examples — so what is it?— Makes recommendation for sits that do not use SEO themselves.— Google does not look at the last paragraph, no need to insert keywords one more time. You SHOULD, however, keep your articles between 300-500 words and use the first 100 words to emphasis your keyword phrase.— TrafficTravis.com is downloadable software, not web based.— “Spinning articles” is a frowned upon way to get links back to your website.— Article directries are also frowned upon because of the spam to fresh content— Briefly mention that if you create accounts on other social sites (like LinkedIn and such) you need to keep the content fresh for the back linking to work. If you create 20 or so social profiles, do you have time to post there regularly to keep up your ranking? The answer, I bet, is no.— Says if you google him, you’ll get quality links. Which is true — but doesn’t mention that the links come from, mainly, hawking his books.— RSS feeds are not “orange icons”— Yahoo Pipes is now discontinued.— Keeps mentioning not to contact SEO companies REPEATEDLY because you can do all of this for free — but yet he owns an SEO company. ???— Goes over how reposting content on various sites is no-no, but gives instructions on how to cross-post content to Scribd, SlideShare, and others.— Spends one chapter on putting together SEO tips for WordPress, spends the rest of the book giving basic SEO info.PROS— Gives good advice on optimizing images, how to find legal images.— Advice on blog commenting is good too.
