Great introductory book,

This review is from: SEO Warrior: Essential Techniques for Increasing Web Visibility (Paperback)
I have found the information very valuable but if you are looking for advanced information on SEO it may not be the best option. It worked really well for me as I needed a lot of background information. If you are new to SEO and want to learn it quickly, this book is a great option.

not bad but incomplete,

This review is from: SEO Warrior: Essential Techniques for Increasing Web Visibility (Paperback)
Great for people who wishes to learn general ideas about SEO, some nice tips, a lot of stuff about google's AdWords but it lack informations about HTML/CSS/Javascript/Dynamic Content/etc. I have found more pertinent informations in "Search Engine Optimization for Flash" on those subjects (even non-flash related) then in this book. I still recommend it but do not put it in the top of your list... This book is more about the marketting of your web site then making it optimized for search engine, some may say it's the same but I beleive one is technical the other is theorical...

Excellent Book for Webmasters, Which Teaches You Everything About SEO,
By Randall Degges - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: SEO Warrior: Essential Techniques for Increasing Web Visibility (Paperback)
I just finished reading SEO Warrior today. I'm a professional developer (mostly systems engineering in C, python, and java), but I dabble in best-practices web design on my spare time for fun. I picked up a copy of this book as I've heard a lot about "SEO" in the industry, but wasn't sure whether or not it was something real, or just a buzz word.The author of this book, John I. Jerkovic does an excellent job not only detailing exactly how SEO works, but also why it works, what is good, and what is bad. The book starts out by proving certain SEO elements are legitimate, by using some perl program to perform a large amount of searches for popular keywords, then compare HTML elements of the top ranked sites to see what they have in common (keyword density, title element, meta tags, etc.) In my opinion, this alone was worth the money, as it clearly shows by real-world example, that SEO does work, and proves what elements are more important than others. The material covered is very thorough (and at times, a bit too wordy), and will leave you with no questions unanswered. The author covers: - tools to help you test your websites for SEO - how to use google, yahoo, and bing searches to look for competitors - how to use google, yahoo, and bing optimizations elements in your HTML pages to promote "organic SEO" - how to avoid search engine spam - how the nofollow attribute works - how to create a sitemap - how to write a robots.txt file - where to look for relevant information on SEO - how to use advertising to your advantage - how to get money by showing ads on your website - how to find and detect blackhat SEO - how to use social media sites (twitter, facebook, etc.) to establish your brand and a good deal of other topic. The book is a bit thick, coming in at around 400 pages of content, but has quite a few diagrams illustrating google, yahoo, and bing webmaster tools (among other things), which take up ~5 -> 10% of the total pages. It is a very easy read, not very heavy on coding, but also not too high level. I'd recommend this book to anyone who does web design themselves, and is interested in making their pages popular, but doesn't really know anything about SEO. The book teaches you everything you'll need to know, and takes you from nothing to everything in a few days. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

Immensely valuable despite the PHP,
By Alexander Kine - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: SEO Warrior: Essential Techniques for Increasing Web Visibility (Paperback)
John Jerkovic's SEO Warrior is immensely valuable, albeit burdened with too much do-it-yourself PHP code. Free toolbars from SEObook, SEOmoz and Chris Pederick implement many of the same features described in the PHP examples. Regardless, his explanation of external ranking factors opens most websites to new levels of optimization and success.Strong chapters: * The big picture, * Internal ranking factors, * External ranking factors, * Search engine traps, * Keyword research (excellent worksheets), * Competitor research and analysis, * Content considerations, * Search engine spam. Weak chapters: * Google Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics, * Social networking phenomenon, * Search engine marketing. Score: 4 stars: Overall 5 stars: Benefits and outcomes can be immediate 5 stars: New information, especially external ranking factors 1 star: Too much do-it-yourself PHP code 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Excellent SEO book,
By Jonny Frank "Don't know, what u don't know" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SEO Warrior: Essential Techniques for Increasing Web Visibility (Paperback)
Excellent overview of SEO. The author touches on all areas related to SEO, not always in great detail which is understandable as some topics could warrant their own book but he covers enough of each to give you a thorough understanding. Please be advised that all the code script examples are opensource based, php primarily. If you are a ASP.NET, C# app builder they won't help you that much but the general idea is communicated through the examples which you can figure out in your language of choice. A must book for your SEO collection.
