With the explosion of new stuff to keep up with and information in general, I choose books carefully. And rarely, do I take time to rate them after reading. However, I just finished reading this book cover to cover, and will keep certainly keep it for reference. As a pay-per-click (PPC) specialist who also owns websites, I rate this book as "must" read for anyone who has (or is going to build) a wordpress site or blog. Many of the sections on SEO, such as those on link building, apply equally well to a owner of a website on any platform, or to individuals looking for a professional introduction to SEO. I give it 5 stars, and am going to order a copy for a colleague.

I am not a beginner, but definitely not an expert. I found this information easy to follow and extremely informative. It touched just enough on the basics for a beginner to keep pace, yet contained such a vast array of knowledge and topics that the more experienced can definitely glean from. I have learned so much in my first reading of the book that I intend to go right back for a second read to gather all the info I may have left behind the first pass. I would highly recommend this book to any level user. I got MORE than my money's worth with this one!

I read this book in about 2 days and got a lot of good information from it, but will keep it around for reference as I learn more. I run a mommy blog on wordpress that reviews a lot of home products, baby products, family videos, etc. I found this book to be easy to read and packed with information. It's almost 350 pages and it's very dense. It covers pretty much everything I could ever think of. One thing that is especially helpful is just the basic setup information for a wordpress site like the right plugins and tracking information. It teaches all about how to do keyword research. Other than 1 or 2 sort of boring chapters it's the best one out there. I also have "Easy Wordpress SEO" which is a kindle book for like 3 dollars--but that's not even a book, it's more like a long pamphlet.

Practical, well written, thorough treatment of SEO! WP 3 Search Engine Optimization is packed with information and yet very easy to read or use as reference. The SEO techniques in the book are not specific to WordPress, but the author discuss how to implement them within Wordpress (I could apply all of the techniques to my Joomla-based website). Appendices contain lots of references to free third party tools for SEO.I have only one minor complaint. The author's frame of reference through most of the book is using Wordpress to create commercial websites where the goal is to convert sales rather than blogs where the goal is readership. Nothing wrong with that, except that it wasn't 100% clear to me which techniques would be equally effective for blogging, which is my interest. In any event, I highly recommend this book and would recommend reading it BEFORE you build your blog or website as there were a few things I might have done differently.
