Praise for The Art of SEO
SEO was one of the single biggest mistakes that Connected Investors made because we were initially a closed social network, where our content wasn’t supposed to be syndicated.
Founder of Connected Investors
There are more people than ever running online businesses using the internet because many of us are stuck at home, and navigating an online business can be tricky today because of these ever-changing algorithms and SEO. You never know what's going to happen, and it's possible to navigate it on your own.
But why take on that stress? I didn't. That's why I work with a guy named Stephan Spencer, who essentially wrote the books, actually three of them on SEO. He's an internationally recognized SEO expert and bestselling author of Google Power Search and the Art of SEO. In addition to hacking SEO, Stephan spent a lot of time hacking himself, just like I have.
