Rating: - Every website owner must buy this book!
I bought this book to learn what I couldnt afford my web guy to do for me. My website was not generating much traffic and I thought it was a lack of good key words.

Here's what I learned in the first 3 chapters: By looking at the source code on my site as instructed by the book to do for basic elements I found:
My web pages beyond the home page had no title, description or key words! And more disturbing, my web guys business info was listed in the top area of every page where my page description and key words are supposed to go! I also learned I was not listed in an important directory, which I was able to do myself in 10 minutes.

I am hopping mad at my web guy and looking for a new one! BUY THE BOOK!
