As everything in life – IT in particular – SEO is a continuously evolving filed. Apart from a few fundamentals, almost everything in SEO continuously changes in a matter of day. Keeping up with the latest update in the industry is just as important as understanding the fundamental parts.
I have pre-ordered SEO Bible as soon as it comes to publication schedule, about three months before it finally published on December 17th 2007. So I believe I have been among the first buyers. Regular international shipment – as always – took almost 4 weeks, so it has just arrived on my desk before the weekend, January 19th 2008. As a long awaited stuff, it immediately took my whole weekend to explore.
It basically covers everything you need to know to be successful SEO coach to your website – bring your website to the top of Search Engine Result Page (SERP). So it serves its function as a “bible” very well. For someone with years of experience in playing the game, big part of it is nothing more than a refreshment course. However, as SEO is basically a continuous sequence of “trial and error”, in so many cases we do not really know which efforts are effective, mediocre, waste, or even hurt. So having on hand a concise literature which puts everything in is a big help.
In conceptual area, I am in agreement with what the book advises – which I will surely implement immediately – is that we need to have documented plan and result log as a part of our SEO strategy. Another thing – whilst I do agree with the reason I am in disagreement to implement myself – is to be patience in doing an effort and leave it until we see the result before moving forward.
In technical side, basic stuffs in thorough and easy-to-understand explanation, which is very good. In addition – which I found very interesting myself – are methods which got their popularity in the last one or two years like leveraging social network, viral marketing, interactivity of web 2.0, and so forth.
I do highly recommend this one. One of the best SEO book I have ever read for sustainable success. Get away from e-book offered through spam-email which mostly just selling hoax for a few bucks. I always believe SEO is a do-it-yourself thing. This book will put you on a safe side and set you ready to fire your “SEO consultant”.
