Overview:

Naomi Dunford decided to re-release her popular SEO School ebook this week, and if you’re new to SEO, or are confused by all of the more technical SEO books on the market, then this is your lucky day. Naomi distills a confusing topic into an easy-to-read 53-pages that will get you off to a solid start if you are looking to learn SEO. A must-read, in my opinion.

Pros:

Naomi’s writing style is entertaining to say the least (she curses like a drunken sailor even in her writing), but she knows her stuff. I know, because I’ve paid her over 4-figures just to call her and bounce ideas off of her. I bought the book when I was about 4 months into learning SEO, and I still didn’t have a good grasp of the big picture. This book set me squarely on the path to learning SEO.

I like to think of Naomi’s book as the “course syllabus” for the rest of your SEO education - which is why I’ve chosen to review this book first. You will not learn everything here, but you will learn the basics in a structured way, so that you can be intelligent about going out to find more granular information on a particular topic.

Without this book, my approach SEO would be a lot less organized and structured than it is today. In particular, 3 chapters are must-reads:

1. What to Rank For: Naomi does a great job explaining the process of finding a profitable niche. More importantly, the book tells you which keywords you absolutely do NOT want to go after for a particular niche. The competition section is great as well, and goes into detail about how to evaluate your chances of ranking for a your keyword phrase.

Include pages 15-24 in the Keyword Research tab of your binder. (huh?)

2. On-Page Optimization: this chapter walks you through the process of optimizing your site for a particular keyword step-by-step. I have since found more detailed explanations of each step, but this is what got me started, and it is still an excellent resource to have.

Include pages 25-33 in the On-Page SEO tab of your binder. (huh?)

3. Off-Page SEO: I like this chapter because it is the best overview of off-page SEO that I’ve found. You will not learn everything you need to know here, but this will provide a solid foundation from which to build.

Include pages 35-40 in the Off-Page SEO tab of your binder. (huh?)

Cons:

If you already know a lot about picking the right optimization keywords, and on- and off-page SEO, this is not an essential book for you. You’ll learn some new things for sure, but nothing is earth-shattering here. Having said that, I still read the keywords section from time-to-time because it is the best book on the topic that I’ve seen.
