1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible waste of money, 15 Oct 2008
By Charlie Farley (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book after reading all of the reviews and am sorely disappointed. Very basic SEO guidelines and some decidedly black hat techniques frowned upon in the industry.
Don't waste your money. The About The Author section of this book lists Samuel Blankson as "reader, author, poet, songwriter, photographer, athlete, programmer, traveler, researcher, securities trader". Jack of all trades, certainly not master of this one.
Try Search Engine Optimization An Hour a Day by Grappone and Couzin for a comprehensive guide to SEO.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy.... learn from my mistake!, 23 Sep 2008
By Ms. Sally J. Hayward "SallyJ" (Basingstoke) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Please don't buy this book before checking

1. That you are happy with this author's credentials.
2. That you are happy that the other reviews on this site are genuinely unbiased (I find the best way to do this is to check that the reviewers have reviewed a range of authors/products from different publishers).

I did neither before I bought the book. After reading the first few pages I was slightly worried about the content... it seemed so basic and had very few real examples to illustrate points.. just mostly waffle. After another few pages I was becoming alarmed as it suggests practices such as setting up a link farm (a practice which most SEO authors suggest is at best likely to be detrimental to your rankings... and at worst will get you blacklisted!) and keyword stuffing (a very outdated approach).

This was when I decided I had better check the author's credentials!! He has written other such books as "Guide to IT contracting", "How to win at online roulette", "The practical guide to total financial freedom". Hardly a list which inspires you to believe this author is an expert in SEO!

If you have already read this book and implemented any of the suggested practices I strongly recommend that you read other books on the subject urgently as you are in real danger of doing more harm than good.

I could not believe that my opinion of the book was so out of line with so many other reviewers. However I have now gone through the reviews on this site which I recommend that anyone else thinking of buying the book does too! The vast majority of reviews are from people who have only recommended Samuel Blankson's books! I will leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Please don't make the same mistake I did!

4.0 out of 5 stars A practical, solid book for SEO., 9 Jun 2008
As the owner of a small website, I was always trying to figure out how to get my page to appear on the first couple pages of a google or yahoo search. Though I knew a few things about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), this book was incredibly helpful. Blankson takes you through all the details of what SEO is and how you can use it, and offers a lot of great advice on how you can improve your site's search results. I've been using some of his tips and have already seen some good improvements. I plan on keeping this book close at hand whenever I work on my website.
