Coolness From The Web
Cool stuff from the world wide web - not all related to SEO. I created this section partly to share, and partly to remind myself of where stuff is.
Hello, I'm Dan Thies. I've been writing about, teaching, and practicing search engine optimization for over 10 years now.
In spite of what you may have heard, SEO is very simple. If you don't believe that, then you really need to read my book! It's only 100 pages long, and it's free.
Yes, the best SEO book is free... and so is the support that I offer on this site. If it all sounds too good to be true, well... spend a little time here, get to know me and the members of this community, and I have no doubt that you'll believe every word.
