In addition to spreading virally around the web on the real estate websites and blogs, the traditional media also picked up the tale! It has aired on television stations in many major cities around the country. And, many other media outlets have picked it up, as well, including the LA Times, Neal Cavuto’s show on FOX News and Florida Trend Magazine’s website!

This is all because of what I learned reading the book! David rocks!

Honestly, I could have only dreamed this campaign would be this successful!

This very up to date book is your arsenal for either advancing your position or maintaining your ground on the web. O’Reilly books tend to be highly technical and SEO is no exception. About a quarter to a third of the book is simply not accessible to people who don’t know how to set up servers or write advanced scripts. I know basic HTML and hand code my websites, but I found discussions of such topics as advanced XML a bit over my head. That’s OK, because the rest of the book was fantastic for novices

“SEO Warrior” is a complete guide to getting your page noticed by search engines. It’s not just about Google rankings and keywords, thought that’s clearly a focus. This book takes a 360 degree approach to Search Engine Optimization. It considers not just the code on your website, but such things as your ISP and host, external rankings by others, social media marketing and link building. I’ve read other books on SEO and this is the most comprehensive guide I’ve seen to help a business owner make a complete marketing campaign on the web. More technical readers will be able to copy and paste much of the code and examples directly into their website. Web design novices like me will be able to find tools online to help implement the key parts of the strategies found in the book.

As an example, I never really understood Google Webmaster tools or Google Analytics. I worked with both after reading the book and increased my SEO campaign dramatically. I had the confidence to make such things as a site map and learned how to properly configure my meta information to get the maximum exposure for my website.

A right SEO expert probably knows this information already, so the audience of this book is beginning to intermediate users. In particular, any business owner considering a SEO campaign should read this book to get an overview of the concepts. After reading the book, you’ll be empowered to hire a SEO company if necessary. You’ll learn the ethical and professional concepts for SEO and learn how to avoid the unethical “black hat” companies.

Pros: Comprehensive guide to all aspects of getting your website noticed

Cons: A bit to technical for people who aren’t web designers.

Four out of Five Dogcows.

//SEO Warrior// is one of the most thorough books on the subject of search engine optimization ever written. No topic, no matter how minor, isn’t covered thoroughly and with a number of examples; reading this book and following it will certainly help your website climb in the search engine rankings.

Just be prepared for a long read. This book was written as a textbook, and is about as enthralling. The language frequently slips into a pedantic style, making for a dull, exhaustive read into a topic that requires some programming background to fully appreciate. There is nearly no concession made to the non-programming audience, and even programmers will likely get bored quickly, skimming through some sections. This is just not a book that lends itself to simple reading. The online extras for those that buy the book are worth it, but.

//SEO Warrior// is a fantastic reference book, but is not a book whose reading should be taken lightly. The topic covered is certainly vital; this just should not be your first and only book on search engine optimization.

I did learn some fantastic stuff about advanced / hidden Google search tools like the use of intitle, related, etc., in Google searches.

I also wondered why it is titled SEO Warrior? I believe that a book’s title conveys its philosophy, and I like to reckon of SEO as working with Google, Yahoo, or Bing, rather than against them. The thought of being a warrior implies a competitive hostility between your website and the search engines.

We need more SEO lovers and not fighters out there. If you are experienced in SEO, this book is worth it. If not, I suggest SEO for dummies or an introductory text first.
