Review of SEO School, Part 1: Touched By A Ninja

SEO Tips For Beginners

Note: A fuller, meatier review of SEO School will give you more info than this preliminary review post.

“SEO Tips For Beginners” would be the perfect title for home business rockstar Naomi Dunford’s search engine optimization e-book, but that title wouldn’t have nearly enough cursing in it.   It’s a great (and entertaining) read if you’re not sure how to get started with SEO and you don’t want to blow a huge wad of cash hiring a consultant.

That said, this book isn’t intended to make you the master (or mistress) of SEO.  What it does promise to do, however, is to:

  • teach you enough of the basics that you won’t make stupid mistakes that kill your search engine rankings, and
  • teach you enough of the basics to start doing the smart, simple things that will get you better rankings moving forward.

I’ve read through this 52-page e-book this week and I can easily say that:

  • I now see the stupid mistakes I’ve been making (and have started fixing them), and
  • I know know a solid handful of basic techniques I didn’t know before that will help me rank better for the terms I want (i.e., the terms that sell my audio programs).

I intended to have a kick-ass review all ready, but this week has treated me, as Norm Peterson put it, “like it caught me in bed with its wife.”  So you’ll have to wait ’till next weekend for a more exhaustive review, and like I did with my Freelance Smackdown! series, I’ll do some play-by-play of how my search engine rankings improve as I use Naomi’s SEO School book on my blog.

Bottom line: Buy the damn thing, or at least check it out. I’m glad I did.

G’nite -

    SEO School completely rocks. I have read a LOT of stuff on SEO over the past few years, and I know SEO well enough to be on the first page of Google search results for my keywords. Basically, what I’m saying is that this book is full of easy-to-understand advice for beginners that you can implement right away and benefit. Naomi is funny and entertaining, and has a knack for explaining everything in plain English. I absolutely recommend it.

    I’m pretty skeptical of most ebooks about SEO because they mostly tend to be junk. There are a small handful of good ones out there, though. That being said, I haven’t read this one, but its length makes me wonder if its just a ton of fluff. I’ll give it a read, though, based on yours and Michael’s suggestion of the goodness it contains.
