Publisher's summary

Do you have what it takes to rank your site at the top of Google's search results? Have you been frustrated by the level of difficulty posed in competing with other well-established websites for those coveted first-page listings?

Well, did you know that there are over 200 ranking factors involved Google's current search algorithm? Yes, over 200. It's certainly no walk in the park. Depending on your information when it comes to SEO, it might be outdated or just flat-out wrong.

Why is that?

Search has been evolving at an uncanny rate in recent years. If you're not in the know, then you could end up spinning your wheels and wasting valuable and precious time on techniques that no longer work.

Google's sole mission is to provide the most relevant search results at the top of its searches in the quickest manner possible. However, in recent years, due to some mischievous behavior at the hand of a small group of people, relevancy began to wane.

Since 2011,Google has tried hunt out and demote spammy sites that sacrifice user experience, focus on thin content, or simply spend their time trying to deceive their way to the top of its search results.

At the same time, Google has increased its reliance on four major components of trust that work at the heart of its search algorithm:

• Trust in age
• Trust in authority
• Trust in content
• Relevance

Missing Documents For Download

I enjoyed the book, the narrator is good I learned a lot from it I just wish the documents that accompany the book were available for download with the audiobook. On several occasions we are asked to reference specific diagrams that were not made available for download. Thank you!

Alreaft Outdated Ideas

this bookwas writtwn for noobs. unfortunately SEO is not what it looks like and most that tell you there is a recipe are not right. So.e ideas like creating web 2.0 blogs (subdomains on high DA sites) are not only useless but counterproductive. I dont have time to explain but i own a multimillion ecommerce dollar business and buy any audiobook that could be useful, this is not one. we did some of this stuff a year ago and got penalized for it because in essence what we did was not for the user but it was for goggles algorithm...and that is not the key. the key is to create content exactly for you human being users. The truth is not always ehat it seems. dont believe everything in this book. vet each odea in the context i mentions "human being users". u fakn welcome i saved u a LOT of time and money!

a guide for the SEO noob

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked the tips and suggestions for driving SEO to your needs. Figuring out what makes my items special and unique will help my SEO.

What did you learn from SEO 2016: Learn Search Engine Optimization that you would use in your daily life?

So much! I am starting a new business online and need to figure out how to use SEO to drive customers to my site. I needed to figure out how to get higher up on the google search rankings so people will see my store in the top few results that pop up instead of 50 pages later. I have written down important information and I am about to try what I learnt in the book and put it to use.

Easy to listen to, lots to learn about

If you could sum up SEO 2016: Learn Search Engine Optimization in three words, what would they be?

clear, current, engaging

What about Smokey Rivers’s performance did you like?

The narrator had a great voice that was easy on the ears and appealing to listen to. The wonderful pacing made it simple to keep up with the instruction as well.

Any additional comments?

In order to keep up with the times you have to always be learning new things. One thing I try to keep current on is the latest SEO techniques. Sadly what used to work no longer does, and of course the tricks and strategies are changing all the time. "SEO 2016" is a treasure trove of current information! The information on understanding how to achieve a better rank with Google based on the current algorithm factors is fantastic and I've been busy making much needed changes according to the advice provided.

A book read by someone is not an audiobook.

First, the book mention figures. How can I see the pictures if I am listening only ?!? Second, probably half of the length is due to phrases reformulated. The author mention a concept and describe it again changing the text a little, all the time !

The book does have some good info but does not worth the price.
