One of the most important tools for running a successful website is search engine optimization – SEO.
Have you always wondered how other websites manage to receive so many views? Do you want your posts and services to show up higher on search pages but have no idea how to make it happen?
Shannon O’Donnell and Andy Hayes Book, Do It Yourself, Search Engine Optimization – (DIY SEO) gives you the tools that you need to improve your sites ranking, search results and performance.
When we received a copy of their guide, I was excited to read tips from two travel writers and website experts that I respect and admire.
It is an easy to follow guide that debunks the myths associated with optimizing your site. SEO doesn’t require a large financial investment and you don’t have to resort to shady tricks to get noticed on the Internet.
They offer simple solutions to improve your rankings and search results with Google and give you the tools to maintain a strong presence helping you to stand out above your competition.
DIY SEO covers topics from choosing the right key words for your site, explaining terminology and acronyms, how to find inbound links to your site and how to make the technical changes that you need to put your website at the top of its market.
The book also comes with an audio guide and worksheet to help you organize your to do list and to start optimizing your website or blog right away.
We implemented a technical tip that Andy explains in his book and it immediately moved our site from a PageRank 2 to a PageRank 4. Before taking his advice, we wondered why we had not been moving up in the rankings. We thought that we had been doing everything right creating inbound links, writing regular content and submitting our site to search engines. He gave us some quick and easy tips to make the changes that we need and the site has been performing beautifully ever since.
We trust Andy and Shannon’s work and would recommend this book to anyone wanting to improve their Internet rankings, people who feel that their site has come to a plateau or for people that have no idea where to start.

While we are an affiliate of DIY SEO and make a little money if you do decide to buy their book, we here at theplanetd would never endorse any product that we did not believe in.
Excellent review – Andy has a wealth of knowledge and so does Shannon – I really do think all travel bloggers should be paying close attention to what they have to say!

I agree Trisha. They have a wealth of knowledge to share.
Interesting. I’m probably going to buy this based on your recommendation. I’ve been wondering what the heck is going on with our blog. I keep trying to get no readers and it seems to go nowhere. I really want to take it to the next level and feel stumped. Hopefully this book will help! Thanks for the info! – Beth
