Creative & Free SEM Tips: This one will save you $19.79 and maybe more!
It hit me.
I do like a good book. I like the idea you can sit back in your bed and take it all in instead of crouching & straining your body and eyes staring at your computer. Then again, there’s laptops…
I was researching some SEO/SEM books I was considering buying on my trip back stateside. Well, the thought hit me: Amazon does such a good job marketing the books on their pages and the authors are trying to sell themselves so much…how about grabbing some of their ideas and doing searches on them? Save yourself the cost of the book & shipping and just pull some of the ideas off the Internet. The only reason I wanted the books in the first place is I knew I had 10+ hours of downtime where the book does come in handy.
The #7 result on Amazon’s site when you search “search engine optimization” is Kristopher B. Jones’ Search Engine Optimization: Your visual blueprint for effective Internet marketing. I chose it because of the ratings (even though I realize there’s probably some manipulation behind the reviews as well). It says it describes over 140 key search engine techniques including:
So, here you go: 10+ tips on how to optimize your websites. You ask how? Just do a search on them. Actually, it will probably turn into like a hundred of them. Your only cost: the cost of the ink and the paper you’ll print out the tips or if you just read them, it will just cost you the time. You would waste the time anyway reading the book.
You can probably get a bunch of the other tips by just doing the “Search Inside” feature and logging what you see and again, just searching online for what you get. Plus, you get additional perspectives.
By no means am I not saying it’s not worth buying the book, BUT for the fiscally frugal of us, we can get it free.
