This is a reponse to the thread "who are these assholes?". I though maybe we could have something a bit more useful than just bitching about it. So, who are the good guys? Which are the ebooks worth buying?
A few guidelines. Please state
- what the book is about if it's not clear from the title
- level (beginner or "advanced" whatever that means)
- if you have actually read it yourself.
- if you have actually paid money for it yourself.
A few that come to mind that are often tossed around, though I haven't bought many books of this sort...
Aaron Wall, The SEO Book (SEObook.com).
- haven't read or bought it, but it's frequently mentioned as being one fo the best.
Mike Grehan, Search Engine Marketing (search-engine-book.co.uk)
- haven't read or bought this one either, but Aaron Wall recommended it during his interview on Webmaster Radio as the "other" SEO book that he would buy other than his own.
Joel Comm, The Adsense Code
- bought this one in the print version. Basic info on using and optimizing Adsense. Nothing revolutionary, but nice to have it collected in one place. I wish I had bought it a year ago before I spent hour after hour learning most of this myself. Still, I think I'll get enough out of it to make it worth the cost.
Eric Guigere (Making Easy Money with Google or somethign like that). Basic Adsense book. I haven't read it, but he has a nice blog with good info and I suspect that based on that, his book is not total BS. He's working on an "advanced" Adsense book.
I wish I had more to mention based on actual purchases, but I'm so sceptical of most of these that I can't put down money for hot air.
