SEO Guides and eBooks
After more than te
n years providing search engine optimization consulting services, and having written more than 130 blog articles on technical SEO, I finally decided to listen to the countless clients who have suggested I write a book about SEO.
Since there are many books on the subject matter, I felt that instead of writing another “complete guide to SEO”, I’d break it down into concise guides presented in eBook format.
My SEO guides are written to speak directly to the needs of individuals or groups of people who have their own role in the overall search engine optimization process.
By keeping things simple (typically under 50 pages per guide), and writing in ways each particular group can easily understand, you can get the critical information you need as it applies to your role in the SEO process.
