SEO 2016: Learn Search Engine Optimization

By: R. L. Adams

Narrated by: Smokey Rivers

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 Depending on your information when it comes to SEO, it might be outdated or just flat-out wrong.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

What did you love best about SEO 2016: Learn Search Engine Optimization?

This book was recommended to me by a friend. I do not have years of experience in the SEO field. I started to look into SEO a few months ago, after clashing heads with my marketing department.

The book is very descriptive and gives great examples. I now have a better understanding on the working parts of this monster called SEO.

There is much I still need to learn and build my experience, in working and understanding SEO. I will continue to do my research and grow.

I did notice that RL Adams has other books that he has written. I will be giving them a try.

It was like a lecture by your favorite professor!

Would you consider the audio edition of SEO 2016: Learn Search Engine Optimization to be better than the print version?

I read the print version of the book before buying the audio version. I felt I had to buy the audio version to understand the concepts better, and also because it was a great way to do something productive during my commute. I think you should get the eBook as well as the audio book, both have their uses for sure.

What was one of the most memorable moments of SEO 2016: Learn Search Engine Optimization?

Which character – as performed by Smokey Rivers – was your favorite?

Smokey Rivers, the narrator has a great voice. He is energetic, enthusiastic and never goes overboard. He never over-does anything, if you know what I mean. His style was perfect for a technical book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The most important thing for me was the part in the beginning where author R.L. Adams talks about the concept of value in SEO and how SEO was all about winning Google's trust. So how do you ensure that you create value and win Google's trust? That set the tone for the rest of the book.

Any additional comments?

SEO is a vast subject, it is an ocean, in fact. I would appreciate a follow up book by the author that covers the topics that have been left out. That book should be for the more advanced learner.
