Search Engine Information Resources
SEO Books
- SEO Book - Aaron Wall's search related blog, which sells the most current SEO ebook. I try to update my ebook at least once a month so that it is perpetually current. My guide teaches both SEO and pay per click marketing. I am the person who paid to create this software.
- Search Engine Marketing - Mike Grehan's ebook about search engines. It is more about how search engines & search algorithms work than it is about how to do SEO.
- Search Engine Marketing Kit - Dan Thies's book about search engine marketing. His book is more business oriented and more geared toward selling services than mine or Mike's. It also does not have as many creative link strategies and the like as my ebook does, but has much more information about running a business. I have limited business running experience, but make up for it by doing good SEO :)
- Free PPC Guide - as a sample of my ebook I also give away the PPC chapter free of charge. The free chapter has affiliate links in it. My regular ebook should not have any affiliate links.
Recommended SEO / SEM Services (these are not paid ads, but people in the SEO industry I know and trust)
- Text Link Ads - Patrick Gavin's full service text link brokering website.
- WeBuildPages - Jim Boykin's full service search engine optimization firm.
- Smart Keywords - Frank Watson's full service web marketing firm. Focuses on pay per click management & organic SEO.
- WebGuerilla - I think Greg Boser is rather selective with what clients he is willing to take on, but I have yet to hear him speak without learning something from him.
