Hello

I need the best book for SEO, for beginners.

I know that there are a lot, but I need some of the best.

Thanks.
 
Well I guess I'm going to have to write a book then... :D
 
check out the book from the guy who makes seo elite etc. software packages
can't remember his name right now, sorry
 
ok, thanks guys :thefinger

@thxflash, quick start writing while I....:beach2(2)
 
I was also wondering about this... I usually like to buy up books just to read about subjects I'm interested in... Can anyone recommend anything from Amazon?

Most books on Amazon about SEO are pretty out of date by the time they go to print etc.

Aaron Wall's book was one of my favourites even though the version I read is about two years old now.

Being honest you generally don't learn a lot more from SEO ebooks than you would be going through all of the forums here. The only difference is that the book is more structured.

I would recommend reading Seobook, I think there's an out of date version on this forum and exploring each topic a little deeper by finding threads on here as you go along.
 
For beginners SEO Secrets v2.0 by Glenn Murray is very good and the information is current
 
Get Aaron Wall's ebook and visit SEOmoz. That will be sufficient to get your started.

Dig deep in to BHW, you will find heaps of tips and tricks.
 
SEO tactics change all the time. What worked 6 months ago doen't work today.
 
Yeah i agree, SEO changes so much that books are going to be worthless. There is a lot of really good information for free on the internet.... but i'm sure you knew that already
 
the offsite factors that influence your optimization change a lot more than your actual onsite optimization

for basic onsite optimization you need to be learning how to implement the following at a mimimum

title tags
header tags
description meta tag
option keyword meta tag
content styling ie bolding keywords
optimized anchor text and links
alt tags for images
image sizes keeping them small
xml sitemap inclusion
rss.xml inclusion

these few things have hardy changed at all and have always played an important part of onsite seo

the tricky part comes after this and figuring out your offsite optimization - this is where the internet, books, videos and tutorials will really help, as there are so many different factors, that people tend to agree and disagree on and info does change

taking action yourself and testing each method of offsite optimization is probably your best bet to see what works for you - theres plenty to read here on BHW!

if your going to buy a book off amazon, try and find out when it was published - also look at the book reviews too...

hope that helps

I'm thinking about doing a free video course on SEO, would anyone be interested? I have yet to see a good video course that gives more than 1 or 2 good tips, I have a handful of more 'advanced' ones.

Maybe I'll do a beginner and advanced course and sell it on DP, but BHW would get it for free :)

If its free I am willing to attend it...:D
 
seoinpractice.com is best guide for beginners in my view.

And don't forget to learn the ebook in trendmx.com too.
