When will Rand put out "Art of SEO 2nd Edition"? (ANSWER: IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS)
-
First edition was printed in the end of 2009. Great Book.
Needs updating of course.
I would buy the next edition if it was updated in an awesome way that I know Rand and the others would do.
-
That's very exciting! I will be purchasing a copy. I never purchased/read the 1st edition but I've found Danny Dover's SEO Secrets excellent - so helpful and heard equally good reviews about "Art of SEO". Time to pre-order from Amazon!
-
Yep! That's actually the only major contribution I made to the book. Stephan, Jessie and Eric are the folks behind this one more so than me (though I did do some review and work on the social stuff).
-
Looking at the table of contents, and the preview pages, it appears that a sizeable change was made to add a chapter on Social Media (new chapter 8). About 50 pages.
The rest of the table of contents and preview content looks very similar to the current edition.
I may have missed something, so feel free to chime in.

Wow, I can't beleive I didn't see that before!

You can place a pre-order on Amazon for the "2nd Edition Art of SEO" . Publication date is set for March 26,2012. I don't know when it will ship but I am going to order it along with a copy of Danny Dover's-Search Engine Optimization Secrets. Paperback | I still like holding a book in my hand.

Indexing "Without WWW" while it is already redirected to the "WWW" version
Hi Guys My websites are being indexed without "WWW" while the 'http://abc.com' is redirected to 'http://www.abc.com'. Now what I believe is that the URL encoded in my website files are written as 'http://abc.com' rather than 'http://www.abc.com' And since now Google has removed the "Set Preferred Domain" option from the Webmaster Tools, I can't set the preferred version of the URL. Oh & Some pages are indexed with "WWW" & Some are indexed "without WWW" Now I think that it's not an issue, but a lot of people have been saying that this may hurt the rankings.. Some comments/tips would be really appreciated

A suggestion to SEOs that cold call potential clients
Learn some basic salesmanship. Do you realize that business owners are getting 3-4 phone calls and emails a day from other SEOs claiming to be the best? Be polite, ask questions, and don't insult me or yourself through ignorance. Ask questions. You might just discover that we could work together. When you tell me that I'm not ranking for "competitive keywords" it tells me that you don't know what I'm trying to rank for. When you tell me you can get me to the top of Google in 3 months or less, you're still telling me that you don't know my business and what I want from my website. Who said I wanted national ranking anyway? Oh right, not me because you never asked. And if I answer the question "Do you want more business/leads?" with "No." Then politely end the conversation and move on. The rare time that I do get asked about my current efforts, don't insult me by calling me an amateur. I may be one, but talking down to me, or trying to make SEO sound like you're turning lead into gold will get a quick hang up from me. If you want a contract with me, learn to negotiate based on my needs, not your process that you feel married to. There are a lot of business owners out there that would be willing to work with you if you treated you leads with respect rather than iteration 23 of your cold call script. And in response to the person this morning that sent a "free report" of basic SEO fixes for my website, make sure you put that report together using **my website. ** I know you're working from a template, so it should be really easy to remove the info from the wedding company and the lawyer's webpages before you email it to me.

Picking a degree that will benefit SEO/IM career
I really had no idea where to place this question as there seemed to be no 'suitable' place. I do though feel that it is a viable question and would appreciate any responses that I receive. Essentially, I'm currently working full time doing digital marketing covering most general aspects as it is in-house and primarily local venturing to maybe 50-70 miles in the region of the local area. I'm doing SEO, PPC, Social Media etc. I'm certified in networking (I studied in Australia) and have my UK GCSEs along with a variety of other general certifications e.g. business. The college in the area where I work is offering a NVQ in digital marketing and social media so although I'm self taught I'm currently doing this once a month purely for the paper to recognize that I know what I'm doing. Anyway, getting to the point. I have the opportunity to pursue a degree long term with my employer. I've always had an interest in actually learning to code in a web development language (I can cope at the moment with PHP and do what I need to do) and I've also had an interest in developing iPhone apps etc. What degree would you recommend in aiding a career in SEO and Digital/Internet marketing in general?. To me it seems to boil down to either a marketing degree or a web development degree. Thank you in advance, I would love to hear your own experience and what you have a degree in. Thanks, Luke Hutchinson.

Anyone used an SEO company they are happy with and would recommend to others?
I have been researching SEO companies. Some are not willing to provide references, while others have references with lukewarm recommendations. Any e-commerce owners/managers here that have used an SEO company that they would recommend? I am about to give up and stick to doing it in-house!

Managing SEO Partners
Hi, Up until yesterday my main role was to implement & create SEO strategies and analytics for varying clients, and our own agency. Going forward I have been tasked with sourcing and managing SEO partners for our existing and future clients. This is totally a new concept for me, and I was wondering if any mozzers out there have been tasked with similar roles and could give me some ideas on what questions I should be asking, or maybe have an SEO matrix to rank agencies to help match to clients? Your help as always is greatly appreciated. Many thanks Sean
