Search engine optimization (SEO) is a rather nebulous and overwhelming topic. It consists of a glut of scattered and discordant advice that aspiring SEO specialists must painstakingly wade through and synthesize to learn the best-practice activities for high rankings. My experience has been that SEO is very frustrating to learn and keep up with.
I just finished reading Web Traffic Magnet and found that it takes much of the mystery out of SEO. It answered many of the nagging questions I have had about SEO for a long time. As well, I really appreciate having these answers all in one place — written in brevity, without superfluous or overwhelming content — for quick and easy reference.
Web Traffic Magnet really is an extremely useful book. I recommend it for anyone learning the practice of SEO or even greatly skilled in it. The SEO virgin may need to first review a primer on the basics of SEO to fully appreciate this book, but I think all other SEO practitioners will find it a treasure trove of great gems on driving traffic to one’s Web site.

I just started an on-line store[...], not knowing the first thing about how I was going to get traffic to my site. In fact, all I knew how to do was find the right people to design, photograph and write for me since I have owned a design firm for the last 20 years. Then came the day when it was finished, and it hit me, now what?
I bought books on Twitter, and learned it. Ok. I bought books on Facebook, got the hang of that. OK. Figured out Linked In. Fine. But, still…it was nothing. You can tweet all you want and your chirps aren’t heard all that often. There was still the mystery of the web…and aptly named so because it really is like getting caught in the spider’s web that actually makes little to no sense. I am not even sure the web understands the web.
Relief came to me when I bought Liam Scanlan’s Web Traffic Magnet. When I first opened it, I almost fainted when I saw all the new words and ideas to learn. I took it one word at a time, had my highlighter and went through it once. Somewhere along the line a little light went on, and I started to hear sense. So I read it again. WOW, Liam really knows what he’s doing, and writes so a newcomer like me can understand.
I simply took his advice, one point at a time, and by some strange magic, my page rank went from N/A to a 5/10 in 4 weeks. I never even heard of page rank a month ago…but it’s real.
The thing about the book that I love so much? Besides taking the ouch out of understand the web? It’s small enough to fit in my purse so I can review when ever I want. And then there is Liam himself, who will actually help you along if you feel you need him. He stands behind his work.
Thanks Liam for this great book. I am working on your next book now!

I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve finished a book and then went right back and read the whole thing over again. This is one of those times! Web Traffic Magnet was too valuable to only read once. I’ve begun to put into action the instructions from this book and I am already starting to see the results. I run a question and answer forum about cities and neighborhoods and I am now seeing some of my questions show up on page one of Google search results! The book is very user friendly and easy to understand. I loved it and highly recommend it if you are looking for an understandable way to learn how to drive traffic to your website.

Building a website has always been too much for me to tackle. I now know how to do it and why to do it. I was give Liam Scanlan’s books-I have them all. He makes it so easy to understand. I am adding a couple of tips a day to my site and the results are almost immediate. I see a jump when I incorporate his tricks. My next door neighbor is a CEO of a large company. He hired Scanlan to do a website and was thrilled at the results. He also gave me his books for a birthday present.
What I did not understand, I now do due to his engaging writing style. Scanlan makes it simple. Where was he years ago when I paid nearly six figures to develop and maintain our company website? I remember that it was so tortured that we could not touch it without throwing off the balance. Here, I won’t need to hire anyone-at least for the SEO.

I got Web Traffic Magnet because it was a small enough book for me to get through with my busy schedule. I was hoping to get a few things out of it but little did I know that the tips inside would be so easy to implement and make such a difference. Every one of them had impact.
For example, on page 25 & 26 the author, Liam Scanlan, provides six simple tips to improve page titles such as putting the most important keywords words first. When I went back and looked at my site, I found areas I could optimize by just changing the order or wording. Every one of his tips are like that and they do make a difference in how people find you on the web.
The book is well written and concise. It’s got each tip in a gray box to make it easy to pull out and implement. It may only be 108 pages, but don’t let the size fool you. The fluff that exists in most books is stripped away getting you to the bottom line of what the problem is and how to fix it.
It was worth every penny and then some for the value I got out of it. As a small business owner, I am finding that these tips are overlooked by larger websites. That gives me the edge I need on the web and the cost for me to implement all of them was only the cost of the book.
