SEO 2.0 Ebook: Table of Contents

robot-vs-human

The SEO 2.0 ebook is online! I’ve been preparing it for ages. I blog here since summer 2007 and I considered publishing an ebook as early as 2009.

I finally started writing the SEO 2.0 ebook in 2013. It went live in 2015. In 2017 I updated it but didn’t publish the updated version. In 2020 a new update is coming up.

It’s never too late they say though. I have started training parkour in my late thirties so I can publish a belated ebook as well. Don’t you think? Also wisdom comes with age they say.

In any case all the knowledge of more than a decade of practice in blogging, social media and search is inside. It took me 10 years to find out how everything works and you can read it in a 10 hours.


Isn’t it “Beating a Dead Horse”?

Don’t we have more than enough

  • books
  • ebooks
  • white papers

covering

  • blogging
  • social media
  • search

you might ask. Thank you for asking! Indeed, it’s a question I asked myself before and while writing the ebook.

Yes, there are many but they are often superficial and cover just one aspect of search engine optimization or blogging for example.

What can I say others haven’t done earlier, better, in more detail?

I cover a lot of things you won’t find in the average “10 SEO tips” posts that inundate the entire Web these days.

Luckily I decided not to limit the popularity of the book by demanding upfront payment. I want to spread the knowledge far and wide. Thus it’s either free or “pay what you want” when you can afford it!


I’m Providing Unique Insights

Now that the ebook is ready I know it’s unique just like my blog and you haven’t heard much of what I say in it elsewhere yet. I even discovered the true purpose of SEO 2.0 and

I already consider writing a follow up ebook dealing with it: popularization.

The SEO 2.0 ebook does not just focus on the both new and old term. It provides everything from old school to modern search, social media and blogging advice.
