Search Engine Optimization
Wikipedia defines Search engine optimization (SEO) as the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results, or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.

Search Engine Optimization Books

by Tim Ash
Amazon Price: $19.79
Customer Review: The author has accomplished a difficult feat indeed - explaining the variety of methods and mechanisms of multivariate testing simply, plainly, and with real world application.
I work in the Direct Response space, we've used multivariate testing for a number of years and actively subscribe to a number of newsletters and whitepapers on the subject. I would consider myself an expert on the process and technologies, yet still found a wealth of new and refreshing information in this book.
In particular, the methodology behind calculating the real dollars and cents increases is well executed.
All around easy to reccomend.

by Peter Kent
Amazon Price: $19.79
Customer Review: I am an avid reader on all regarding a topics related to SEO, SEM, PPC or ORM. Now, when this title went out, I was in doubt. Well, I said. "Dummies".
I am not the one. I have a heavy shelf with books on topic, should I take one more with such a title?
Now, let me tell you.
It's far much more better, that every book you will find here in amazon with a topic "ADVANCED, or COMPLETE".
It has so many gems for those, who proudly considers them already advanced SEO skilled, and when you read it - you just say - WOW, this I did not knew. Yeah, that is also interesting.
I am not sure, Peter will read this comment, but I need to tell that with title 'dummies" he lost a big big market share :(. Such as me, who already had some experience. Do not make this mistake. This book is extremely valuable, no matter at which stage of SEO skills you consider yourself.

by Howie Jacobson
Amazon Price: $16.49
Customer Review: Book is very basic to say the least, I was expecting a lot more! What can you expect for $14 though right?

by Brian Clifton
Amazon Price: $26.39
Customer Review: This book is intended to read cover-to-cover, not really a browse to the topic you're looking for type of book. Still really good read, and after you have a great understanding on GA overall.

by Kristopher B. Jones
Amazon Price: $19.79
Customer Review: When I got this book I didn't think that it would be full of many things. I thought I would use it only to brush up on my skills. Believe it or not this book is whamp packed with little hints and tricks that you might find useful.
If you have done some SEO techniques before then most of the major topics in this book will be of no use to you. Saying that though, there are some little gems of tips and tricks inside that makes this book worth while.
If you are starting out with SEO I would recommend this book to anyone, If have dived into the realm of SEO then this book will show you some hints and tips you might not have seen before

by Perry Marshall, Bryan Todd
Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: I found this book to be an easy read and it sure helped with my google campaigns overall. Most of the screenshots are hard to read and outdated, yet still useful at some level. I wish there were more definitions of terms'; some newcomers may not be familiar with the google AdWords jargon and their importance so it would have been nicer if there were thorough definitions of CTR, CPA, CPC,etc.. and such. The name
"Ultimate Guide..." maybe a bit over the top but it's definitely a Great Guide.

by Bryan Eisenberg, John Quarto-vonTivadar
Amazon Price: $19.79
Customer Review: I like to pick up marketing and business-technical books as much as I can, and read them in the evening to get ideas for improving my small business. Usually I get books from my local public Library (sorry Amazon) but this book was not available there. I'm extremely glad that I bought the book, because it is going to be living on my desk for the next year, not collecting dust on a shelf now that I've read it.
I had heard of Google Website Optimizer before but I had been a bit daunted at the idea of "optimizing" my website. What am I supposed to optimize, and why? This book is really everything I need to get going. The reason that I want to keep this book around is that there is just too much information to work with in one sitting. Each time I am ready for a new test, I will turn to this book for some ideas of what to try, and what variations might be good to try. For each area there are dozens of URLs of articles that are relevant to that kind of test, and I will be visiting those URLs when I am ready for that test. (No point in visiting them yet, there is just so much information.)
This book, then, is not just a tutorial or a technical manual, but an entire *curriculum* of website testing.
But it's more than that. If I'm going to be attempting to improve some aspect of my website, it would be useful to have some useful hypotheses of what might be an improvement; making shots in the dark isn't likely to be as effective. The WIIFM chapter reiterated many of the concepts I had read about in other books (such as types of website visitors) but this is the only book I have seen to actually have some suggestions for how to actually address these visitor types on your landing pages.
So I have to think of this book as a great *marketing* book, not just a great book about Google Website Optimizer.

by Jennifer Grappone, Gradiva Couzin
Amazon Price: $19.79
Customer Review: I've recently launched a B2C website and I know enough to know that it's no longer the case that you "build it and they will come". But I didn't realise getting my website to be seen by enough people to make it financially viable would be quite this difficult!
Like many new businesses I have a limited budget so I wanted to see if I could tackle some of the SEO work myself or if I had to pay for someone to do it for me, I wanted to have some knowledge before I hired someone.
This book breaks up the multiple and often lengthy tasks required to tackle SEO. It makes technical terms easy to understand which helps if you're not a technical person like me. And it allows you to do a bit of SEO work at a time meaning if you are even a little bit disciplined, you can fit some SEO work into your busy day.
Other SEO books I've read can make the task sound so daunting you don't know where to start so you don't. By breaking up tasks into bite sized chunks, this book motivated me to start my SEO work. Bring on the results!

by David Viney
Amazon Price: $19.80
Customer Review: Good book but has to much self promotion for my liking. The book has some useful tips that could be helpful but you get the feeling that its almost an advertisement for his company, but not a bad read overall.

by Joel Comm
Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: The title is GREAT, and the book was good overall. There was a lot of self promotion but hey we all got to eat :-)
