Reviews of Ben Finklea's previous book: "4.9 out of 5 stars." –Amazon.com "You don't need to be a programmer or SEO specialist to follow the steps outlined in the book and get results. It's very easy to understand and implement." "The book is a perfect guide to optimize your Drupal site for the search engines. It reviews modules, techniques, and suggests lots of tips for the best SEO implementations and configurations." "My site went from invisible to getting rankings in Google, Yahoo and Bing as soon as it was indexed. Wa-pow! Awesome!" "Best place to find Drupal-specific SEO advice" "Ben explains SEO in a very easy to understand manner." "I had tried several SEO websites and tools, but this book explains everything so well, and clears up much of what I had read about SEO or watched on YouTube." "I was really impressed with the practical and helpful "how to" approach of this book. A lot of authors (myself included) can't help but get preachy at times. But Ben manages to avoid that trap and stays laser-focused on his topic and providing concrete guidance for exactly how to optimize your site." Praise for Ben's work at Volacci: "Ben's SEO Checklist module helped me and thousands of developers navigate the vast module ecosystem and configure our websites for optimum search ranking and conversions. His [previous] book...taught us to go beyond configuration to help our customers craft effective SEO strategies." --Travis Carden, Acquia (via Linkedin) "Ben is THE expert when it comes to Drupal SEO. He literally wrote the book. He is constantly researching and testing new techniques. In the seven years that we worked together, we built dozens of highly successful marketing campaigns for companies of all sizes." --Eric Wagner, FFW (via Linkedin) Ben's SEO knowledge is outstanding. He understands the many aspects of SEO and knows how to make all of them work together to achieve the results you want. --Eric Mandel, Blackmesh
