Reviews
More reviews about the E-book
Review from Bruce Button, Pretoria (South Africa):
I find the book well-conceived and well-written, with a good balance between giving the conceptual framework on the one hand and practical implementation on the other. (Far too many computer-orientated books take a simplistic click-here, click-there approach without providing any conceptual framework.) The book is Joomla-oriented, so that a person who wants to do SEO in Joomla will come away with a comprehensive toolkit that can be applied to real-life websites. I like the way that you deal with some of the SEO extensions that are available. For someone who hasn't used them much, it's not so easy to know which will really be helpful. Overall, congratulations and thank you for a very helpful contribution to this subject.
Review from Marcos Miranda, New York (USA):
..... I am a newbie with Joomla and as I buy extensions, such as MijoSEF I keep running into this same issue. The documentation is excellent, but in a descriptive kind of way. In other words they provide you with a beautiful automobile but hey dont teach you how to drive it, forget about a road map. Your article not only shows me how to drive that beautiful automobile but also the best possible way to get there.
Review from Kostadin Goleminov on Amazon.com:
This book is a list of the most essential things a web designer must do in order to achieve the requirements of search engines and finally, a good ranking. I write this review as a SEO beginner, not as expert. In the process of reading I highlighted most of the titles and key phrases in the book that represent the elements of a list that is good enough for a beginner to start their web site optimization. The book contains many useful links and extension recommendations for Joomla that helped me to deeply reconsider all my work flow as a web designer. Consider this book as a starting reference that can be extended with the recommendations of other authors as well.
Review from Fabio Matos on Amazon.com:
When the subject is SEO I'm just a beginner and this book really helped me a lot. It covers all Joomla SEO core possibilities and many essential extensions. The Performance part of the book It's also excellent. After applying some guidelines on a client website the loading time became twice faster and the Google rankings start to improve.
