Learn the Real Mechanics behind Search Engine Optimization

So much has changed for Google SEO and the industry as a whole. If you're just coming into the Search Engine Optimization field it's important to note that if you're looking for a guide to learn the real methods & techniques for ranking today, it had better be a recent guide.

Why is that? The industry has changed and evolved so much because of the recent changes that Google has introduced into its algorithms. These changes have drastically affected rankings and how Google scores listings on its search engine results pages (SERPs).

Here is what's happened:

Google Panda: Google released the Google Panda in February of 2011, and has sent out dozens of these modified "Panda Attacks" to kill off listings that have offered low quality content that did not abide by Google's Webmaster Guidelines. This created a dramatic shift in SERPs.

Google Penguin: In April of 2012 the search engine giant released the Google Penguin which set out to punish sites that tried to implement more evasive techniques for trying to quickly rank their Websites on SERPs. These are techniques that Webmasters and SEO specialists were using for years that can now backfire and not only see you drop in rankings, but worse, even see you face possible de-indexing.

These algorithm changes shifted the entire SEO landscape in 2013….

It's important that you understand what methods will work today and what won't and The SEO Black Book offers you an intuitive approach to ranking with SEO in 2013 and beyond.

The audiobook weaves together all of the complex components required to successfully SEO a site in 2013 while also providing you with real industry secrets & tips that you can implement to rank higher then your competition.

The practical methods, tools, and techniques covered in The SEO Black Book stem from over a decade of my knowledge involving research and work in the field of search engine optimization.

Don't fall victim to the industry pitfalls. Without the right knowledge, information and tools you will be risking a slow and painful climb up the SEO ladder. The SEO Black Book teaches you what it takes to successfully rank your site today.

This book is part of a four-part series called "The SEO Series," which features the following books:

  • The SEO Black Book - A Guide to the Industry's Secrets
  • SEO Simplified - Learn Search Engine Optimization Strategies and Principles for Beginners
  • SEO White Book - The Organic Guide to Google Search Engine Optimization
  • SEO for Bloggers - Learn How to Rank your Blog Posts at the Top of Google's Search Results

After you Buy this SEO Book Now you will realize the importance of the incredibly valuable information contained within its pages.

Finally, I Get It

Finally I get it!! SEO Black Book is like the holy grail for me. I thought the world of search engine optimization would be completely foreign to me forever. However, the audio book finally allowed the lightbulb to just go off in my head. I began listening on my commutes, and before I knew it, I was implementing some of these strategies at my job and in my personal freelance work. It has changed everything! I see real results. Clicks and views are increasing, rankings are high, and the traffic has never been better. One of the best decisions I have ever made easily - I'm stoked to find out what else I can learn from this collection! This resource is new, current, and cutting edge. This is definitely a choice you should be making!

Excellent "current" information

If you could sum up SEO Black Book: A Guide to the Search Engine Optimization Industry's Secrets in three words, what would they be?

Most books on Google and SEO before 2013 are already obsolete. Which means marketing books that are based on this information are also obsolete. As 2013 is already closing out this book is the only one to give you practical and relevant information on the subject.

This has to be one of my favorite SEO audio books!

This has to be one of my favorite SEO audio books! the audio quality is exactly how all audio books should be. The narrator defiantly pays a huge impact on making sure that this audio book is understandable as a lot of the methods and tactics inside are pretty complex and advanced; without a top quality narrator it would be hard to understand.

Not Impressive

What would have made SEO Black Book: A Guide to the Search Engine Optimization Industry's Secrets better?

More thoughtful and meaningful content. This is just a regurgitation of teh same crap you can get from "marketing insiders" newsletters and forums you can find online for free.

What was most disappointing about R. L. Adams’s story?

The lack of useful content and information

Would you be willing to try another one of Smokey Rivers’s performances?

Definitely not.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Nope.

Book has loads and loads of information on SEO

I have finally found a book on audible that is not filled up of BS or outdated strategies that don't work for the current time, This book has loads and loads of information on SEO and what tools to use to improve the rankings. The narrator defiantly pays a huge impact on making sure that this audio book is understandable as a lot of the methods and tactics inside are pretty complex and advanced; without a top quality narrator it would be hard to understand.

The tips were helpful and easy to implement

I was shocked and amazed at how knowledgeable this book is. The narrators voice kept my attention throughout the entire book. I also learnt so much about how utilizing search engines can help my business grow. The tips were helpful and easy to implement right away. Some I knew already but most were new.

Good content

This book is a good source of information in that it talked about what Google considers black hat. Much of which I already knew. But it has more to say about how not to be considered black hat by Google. Not really what you might think it would reveal.

Packed with useful tips

I'm pretty much a beginner when it comes to SEO, but Adam was able to break down the topic into very simple terms that I had no trouble following. The book is packed with useful tips.
