I'd like to say that this book has changed my way of thinking about SEO Professionals, but it hasn't. It has, however, given me enough information so that I can make my own projects more SE friendly and allow me to help my friends do the same.

Cal talks about the contents of the book, including his favorite chapter (chapter 2) that gives a quick-hit primer to the world of search engine optimization. The rest of the book is divided up into specialization topics inside of SEO like "SE Friendly URLs", "Duplicate Content" and "Link Bait". Plus, check out what Cal has to say about one of the Appendixes...

I got this book because I consider myself a "specialist" in the area of Web Services. I've been studying and practicing all the various aspects of web service development for almost 3 years now and this is the first book I've found that does more than skim the surface.

The reviewer mentions what the book covers, how well it covers it (very well - especially the XML section), and the inclusion of an appendix providing a large reference for the terms/functionality mentioned previously in the book.

Overall, the reviewer gave it a nine out of ten rating...
