I’ve uploaded my new book to the interwebs so you can now download and read through it, if the fancy takes you, completely free of charge (SEO Truth - A Bible For The Next Generation Of Search Engine Optimisation).
There may be a few blank pages because it’s been laid out for print; you can get yourself one of these hard copies from this website here.
Let me know what you think and submit some feedback over on lulu by all means! Cheers.
Edit: The download link works correctly now, oops.

Hello!
As usual I’ve been spending a horrendously long time without writing anything on my blog - and for that I apologise. However, I have spent some of my time writing an SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) handbook, covering the importance of next generation techniques and practises.
I’m sure there are those of you who are all too familiar with the increasingly backwards approaches used by a few ’special’ SEO agents and individuals out there and perhaps for you this will merely reinforce what you already knew to be true. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about -then please read the book and have a good laugh at yourself for being such a silly.
You can order print copies of the book - just not yet… more details on that coming soonly! I’ll be publishing online chapter by chapter (honestly I have finished writing it, but as an SEO, if I didn’t serialise it then it would look bad).
The preface, and chapter 1 available after the jump.

I’ve said many times before that so-called SEOs out there need to stop believing every word that spills from Google’s overactive pen. Google is a business just like any other and they feed information that’s deliberately misleading to stop people from gaining an unfair advantage with their search rankings.
It now appears that, in fact, Google assigns an estimated worth to each ranking on their pages - visible to members of their AdWords sales team they use the information from your PPC campaigns and analytics package in order to figure out whether you’re worth it.

One of my favorite blogs, that I read just about every day is readwriteweb, a sterling tech, web 2.0 and search blog. Not so long ago their AltSearchEngines regular article was turned into a fully fledged blog in its own right headed by Charles Knight who knows about the existence of more search engines than probably anybody else on the net.
I checked it out this morning and spotted an interesting article:
Today we launch Part I of our 3 Part Series
Part I: What is a Search Engine? by Nitin Karandikar (Mon)
Oh glominy! I thought, glibbily. This is right up my street so I settled in for a powerful, thought provoking read.

Is the name of my new blog on the slightly odd spam that Akismet catches for me.
We need to relate to the spammers in order to understand their needs, and you can do so right here.

I have just watched the most exciting user interface video yet seen. It’s not of the forthcoming iPhone nor is it any kind of Apple product. This is Microsoft Surface and it promises a revolution in how we interact with our computers and mobile devices, I’m completely blown away by not the technology behind the system, but how well it’s used to produce a product that will potentially devestate Apple’s market share.

The internet is an odd place, as I look at wordpress.com right now I see the top few blogs are I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?, passive-aggressive notes from roommates, neighbors, coworkers and strangers and of course Scobleizer.

I saw over on Valleywag they’ve written yet another hack piece on the so-called Fear Of Google with the standard sensationalism and lack of humour. They’ve even drawn a pretty graph they collated data on from the Nexis newspaper database showing their spectacular lack of knowledge on current Google events.

I’m going to tell you what the real Search 2.0 is and you’re going to shout at me and tell me I should have patented and I’m a fool. However, if you don’t hire me to build it for you then you’re a fool because I get these ideas on a daily basis and I will crush you at some point in my life. Just kidding, I’m a fan of open ideas as well as open source especially when they’re for the benefit of us all.

I’ve previously posted a video of the new search interface I’ve been experimenting with. In order to get some feedback on how it works I’ve put together a small application that uses the Digg API to display the popular news stories on your desktop background.

If you don’t criticise what you love, it’ll stay the same whilst you as a human being never will. You’re changed by the criticism, praise and ideas of those around you.
