Even with the rise of eBooks as on Amazon’s popular Kindle format, the reality is that many people still prefer printed copies.

SEO Fitness Workbook 2016. This book is an in-depth exploration of SEO, the art and science of propelling a company, product or service to the top of search engines such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo. The book begins with a motivational chapter explaining that the average marketer or small business owner can, indeed, do SEO successfully, despite the disparaging information aimed at them by the technical cognoscenti. Next, it moves through On Page SEO, which is how to construct a Google-friendly website using HTML page tags, content, and the cross-linking of pages to one another. Third, it explores Off Page SEO, which is the effort to build inbound links to a website. Google and other search engines prioritize websites that enjoy inbound links. Finally, the book ends with metrics and a discussion of Google’s Google Analytics platform. Throughout, the book has links to videos, worksheets, and other “hands on” resources to help the busy marketer succeed.

It then proceeds network-by-network with in-depth coverage of LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube, as well as coverage of emerging networks such as Instagram and Pinterest. Throughout the book points to worksheets to guide the busy marketer in the art and science of how to market via social media.
