SEO Book

This page is dedicated to the search engine optimisation (SEO) book, ‘SEO Truth’. It aims to help you improve the volume and quality of traffic to your website from search engines using natural (or organic) techniques. Image search and vertical search engines are also featured with specific analysis of each.

SEO truth was originally written in November 2007 by one of our company founders. It’s a broad analysis of the current state of the SEO industry and where the future of search technology will lead SEO.

Particular attention is paid to spotting the differences between SEO agencies who are dishonest and have no understanding of how to increase a website’s position in search engine ranking pages (SERPs) and the SEO agencies who perform well researched and scientific operations.
