Live, Unmoderated Customer Reviews

Here is what our customers are saying about this product.

"First off, to SitePoint - you guys are really giving O'reilly a run for the money. I have purchased several books already and wow! - Now the really good part:

"As I am only finishing chapter 3, I have to say you have already proven me right on many statements I have made to clients over the years. Now I have something to back me up. This kit is absolutely worth every penny, provided you read it, work it, and study it.

"In a nutshell, if one claims to do SEM/SEO and haven't yet worked this kit, one is most likely not real and should spank oneself in front of one's clients.

"Cheers to both authors and SitePoint for bringing this to market."

"Good books i must confess keep it up"

Lisa Frotten , 3 Dec 2007

"Dan/Dave:

"Thanks for all the great work! This was just the jump-start that I was looking for: saved me months of online research. Thanks for all the case studies/practitioner insights, tool reviews and resources.

"You've given me illuminating, up-to-date, authoritative content, in as much as a *single* printed edition about such a dynamic topic could. It is now my constant companion. Hey, it's even literally strong enough to hit intractable clients over the head with when persuasion fails ;)

"While the Kit compares favorably to similar other books out there and production value/usability for daily work are strong (would not change format), the '8' score is because of the site errata in the text: particularly irritating for a professional copywriter (moi). (Proofreader/editorial staff, this means you :)

"WIll buy again."

Amit Kotwal , 31 Oct 2007

"I've bought a number of courses but I'd have to say that the SEM kit is by far the most complete course I've purchased to date. It covers not only the skills and technical information but also every aspect of the planning, interaction and product delivery to customers. If you are interested in providing SEO services and want to know how the professionals operate then this is probably everything you are going to need. Definitely my best purchase this year!"

Gary Smith , 25 Oct 2007

"So far so good. Having picked out all the relevant info I am now on a full read of the book, which I was not expecting to do, as with this kind of book you can easily get bogged down. However, with this kit I am pleased to say the topics are visited in depth and depart technical information in an easy to understand manner, maintaining the readers attention throughout."

Peter Charles Ringrose , 16 Oct 2007

"Was a good read, very useful though a little dated. Will be good to read the new version once it arrives."

Stephen Macchia , 7 May 2007 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"Outstanding package for anyone looking to learn more about search engine marketing. It's especially well suited to consultants and designers looking to provide these services. Explanations are clear and complete. Best of all, it comes with full set of easy-to-use forms and spreadsheets to guide you through each step. This is a great foundation and now I'm looking forward to the update edition for the latest information."

RA Murphy , 7 May 2007 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"Hi Dan. Although I have to admit I haven't read the manual cover to cover, I have found the information in this Kit invaluable and look forward to the new version. When I get a chance I will definitely be reading the entire manual."

Steve Maszlagi , 23 Apr 2007 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"I can't really rate the full product because it hasn't been released yet, but the PDF of the first edition was great! Yeah, some outdated stuff that I'm sure will be updated in the new edition, but there was some great info there that I'm using and doing pretty well with! I've got a couple big projects lined up and - hurry up with the new one, huh? Hee hee. I am REALLY looking forward to this one! (Though I wish I had the CD, or at least the contents. Not a complaint, just a wish I know will come true with the new edition.)

"I have a couple other SitePoint books and the quality of info is always outstanding (beyond excellent)."

Russell Burnham , 21 Apr 2007 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"I have not yet received the book I had ordered 6-8 weeks ago. I did receive a link to download a pdf version of the 1st edition but it did not have the files and documents that come on the CD, one of the reasons I had ordered the book. At the time I purchased the book there was no notice of the delay on the site. It was only after I inquired about my order did I find out that it will not ship until the 3rd quarter this year. I did read the first edition of the book and it was invaluable, very insightful.

"Despite the Sitepoint's shipping delay, I am hopeful that when I finally do receive the book it will be just as good if not better than the first edition. It would be nice if the PDF version also included the accompanying CD - that would make it a kit product.
If you do decide to buy a book from SitePoint, check first to see that they actually have it in stock. I have invested over $150 in a book that I will not see until the 3rd quarter of this year (and that is tentative)."

Eric Davis , 1 Apr 2007 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"I would really like to write a review BUT YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED WRITING OR PRINTING THE BOOK YET!!!!

"I purchased this book over 6-weeks ago and still have not received it. On Feb. 25 I was emailed saying the order shipped from CT. A week later I sent an email inquiring where it was sent an apology letter saying it didn't ship, that in fact what I paid over $100 for wasn't even finished yet!!!!

"Please let me know when you plan on finishing the book and printing it and shipping it. I am very unlikely to trust you again enough to buy anything from your store. You should not sell products that do not exist and in fact I think it is illegal here in teh United States."

Gregg Manning , 31 Mar 2007 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"The SEM Kit is by far the most comprehensive informational product available bar none. I would recommend this product for anyone considering starting a SEO/SEM business or just wanting to do it themselves. Don't even bother with any other product out there.

"The SEM Kit has been invaluable to me in systematizing my business and using it as a reference in creating excellent training material for my employees. It has become required reading for anyone wanting to work with my company.

"Thanks Dan for an excellent Product and I can't wait for the next update.

"I have enjoyed this book - it has been very helpful. Great information on Search Engine Marketing and information on Tools."

Taunya , 15 Feb 2007 [Review written for previous edition of this title.]

"I spent a little over a month working on this kit and optimizing my site and now only 5 month later I am getting Organic Search engine results I never dreamed of!

"Thanks for the cheap college course.

"PS. This is my 3rd sitepoint book."
