The editor of this book should be fired. I select books by topic and expect the quality of a published book to be as close to perfect as possible. This looked more like the release of a rough draft than a finished book. I don’t blame the author because the topics where well covered.

This book looks like a cake that escaped from the author’s word processor and his publisher’s warehouse too soon. It’s half baked: full of grammatical and syntax errors, no index, and a dearth of useful information. In many places, the beginning of a sentence is attached to the end of the following sentence. Amusing yes, but a real time waster trying to figure out what is meant. I got used to that, but not to the lack of useful information.

This book seems to be a very basic, almost beginner’s, manual, although that is not how it’s portrayed in the forward. The focus is strictly on how to drill down into the bottom layer of all of Win7′s options, but once you get there the discussion is over. On to the next option. The author delivers no more than an outline of the Win7 Help file, and the many screen shots are too small to be able to discern their contents.

My ending impression was that this book was either written after a cursory look at the pre-release version of Win7 or it was a digest (and not a good one) of the author’s (Sean Odom) more voluminous book on Win7 Finally, I know publishers are tightening their belts, but please, hire someone who knows how to use a word processor and the spell checker. Also, get a good editor.

At best, this book is a feeble effort to gain some extra sales. You would be wasting your money to buy it. There are too many other good books on the topic.

I’m a small business IT provider and just won a huge contract out west to set up a 1,500 drop network with all workstations on Windows 7. I needed an education fast and this provided it.

This book has helped me in so many ways from getting to know what SEO does and how it promotes your business. I think people should read this book and see that it’s cheaper than you think to get to the first page or search engines. Just read the book and see for yourself.

I was not aware that SEO can be so easy and effective. With this book I have learned a lot of things I didn’t know before. If you’re planning on looking into SEO check out this book first.

I bought virtually every book on marketing and SEO. You know what I found. Alot of issues. So I did my own experimenting because I found so many different statements. However, breaking it down I see alot of people on here dogging Mike Monahan for putting things in his book that don’t matter anymore. However, after careful digging and experiementing I have found that Mike Monahan is one of the only SEO’s guru’s that keeps up on his profession. Items that didn’t matter anymore a few years ago have come back as important in Googles algorithm. Through careful research that this author does it is apparent that I you need to reread his book every year and erase what you learned the year before as the rules constantly change. I hope people read this and take it to heart. Another thing I want to point out is that the two guys that keep pointing out fake reveiws keep pitching other books and they have left their reviews that the books are fake on atleast 5 other books. How is that helping us? Besides. Most say they are verified purchasers. Why would they leave a fake review?
