Book Review: Professional Search Engine Optimization with PHP

“Professional Search Engine Optimization with PHP” arrived on my doorstep as I was heading to Orlando, FL. I was headed for a week of working out of a hotel room while Wife 1.23 (the lovely and talented Kathy) attended a very expensive conference on SEO put on by 4 SEO Professionals. When we arrived back home and I started paging through the book to prepare for this review. I was really surprised at the amount of overlap there was between the notes she took at her conference and the information presented in this book. Given the $40 price tag and the 4 digit price of the conference, I really expected this book to be light-weight compared to the information presented at the conference. That just isn’t so. This is a book that is packed with useful information and code samples along with a hidden gem at the end.

Tyler Anderson has released a PHP tutorial on developerWorks that is part 1 of a 2 part series detailing how to build an application to track SEO information for a set of domains. I’m seeing a muti-service Googlefight in the works. (How I do love improperly applying technology!)
