Don't have the budget for SEO services and want to do it yourself? Have a secretary or assistant with down time? Provide them with the DIY SEO audiobook so they can learn and implement SEO on your business' Web site.

How do you know who is ethical and who isn't? Just have a look at a Fortune 500 like retailer JCPenny, a company which was severely penalized by Google due to questionable SEO strategies. What was their mistake? They made a bad decision in the firm they hired. Do the right thing and don't get banned from Google! Save thousands of dollars, and hours of frustration, by listening to the DIY SEO audiobook.
This book was recorded for the novice who wants to implement basic SEO strategies to a Web site. The book is narrated in plain and simple English, with no technical jargon. It contains practical, step-by-step methodologies and only discusses ethical, white hat strategies that are in full compliance with Google and the Internet Police. Even a nine-year-old can execute the steps in this audiobook.
DIY SEO covers the following topics:
- What is SEO?
- Why should you SEO
- Effective keyword research
- Best keyword research tools to use (including freebies)
- Home page optimization - step by step

Story
The AdWords advertising network was created by Google in 2000. It has grown considerably, which is not without raising certain criticisms and for a good reason: Commercial links have gradually invaded search results (SERP), to the point of masking "natural" results on certain queries. Advertisers can always pay when a user clicks on an ad through a high-quality auction system. The more relevant the ad is to the user, the lower the cost per click, and the higher the ad. This is to encourage advertisers to provide information relevant to a user's request.

My only request is that you go through this audiobook not with eyes of skepticism or prejudice, but rather with an open mind. The strategies this audiobook is going to lay on you are based on real-world data-driven analytics, and the results are going to likely be better than what you would have expected.

Story
The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Story
Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

Story
Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

Run a Google search for “black girls” - what will you find? “Big Booty” and other sexually explicit terms are likely to come up as top search terms. But, if you type in “white girls”, the results are radically different. The suggested porn sites and un-moderated discussions about “why black women are so sassy” or “why black women are so angry” presents a disturbing portrait of black womanhood in modern society. In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities.

In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology - more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity - has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain’s pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis.

Technical knowledge alone isn't enough - increase your software development income by leveling up your soft skills Early in his software developer career, John Sonmez discovered that technical knowledge alone isn't enough to break through to the next income level - developers need "soft skills" like the ability to learn new technologies just in time, communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate a fair hourly rate, and unite teammates and coworkers in working toward a common goal.
