Internet marketing books and downloadable SEO books can be a tremendous help when
undertaking a self-directed search engine optimization project as are online reference materials.
This page hosts a collection of Internet marketing and downloadable SEO books we have found
useful, as well as links to some of the better resources we have found online.
SEO Books:
First, a listing of the Internet marketing books we have found useful:
- Search Engine Optimization For Dummies, 2nd Edition; Peter Kent, Wiley Publishing Inc.,
2006, Indianapolis, Indiana. If you really are a beginner, start here.
- HTML4 For Dummies Quick Reference, 2nd Edition; Deborah S. Ray Eric J. Ray; Wiley
Publishing, Inc., 2000, Hoboken, NJ. Face it; you are going to have to learn a bit of HTML.
- Search Engine Marketing, Inc. Driving Search Traffic to Your Company's Web Site; Mike
Moran and Bill Hunt, IBM Press, 2006, Upper Saddle River, NJ. For someone who's not a
beginner. This is a good reference guide. A lot more detail (as expected) than the dummies
book. Better for intermediate or expert SEOs.
- Search Engine Visibility; Shari Thurow, New Riders, Berkeley CA, 2008. I like this book
because it gives you some how-to's and is a practical guide to SEO. Shari offers specific
help with optimizing images, flash and splash pages, video files, Podcasts and audio files.
SEO Book by Aaron Wall. The great thing about this downloadable SEO book is that it is
continuously updated by the author. The SEO Book website itself contains a lot of useful tools
and information. It has grown large and is not well maintained though. I find there are outdated
materials and broken links. The author is well known for his search engine optimization
expertise. If you need to buy just one book, this is probably the best one to start with for the
reason that he shares a lot of lessons learned along the way.
Online Reference Materials:
The following online reference materials have all proved very helpful at one time or another.
