Book Warrior Views

General Goods

SEO Warrior has one of the more militant titles of most industry books Ip’ve reviewed, with a stern Eleonorab’s falcon on the cover. The title and image foreshadows the rigorous material between the covers, for SEO Warrior is a book for advanced users wanting to learn more about search engine optimization (SEO). I

There are some drawbacks to the book, however. Despite its 2010 publication date, a few new search engines such as Bing.com are mentioned but not really looked at in depth due to unfortunate timing. This is not normally a big deal—every book in our industry misses something due to ever-changing technology—but other books published in the same year did get Bing.com explained more fully. SEO Warrior is also quite technical and can be tough for beginners and intermediate users to digest. This book really is for experienced SEO professionals.

SEO Warrior does distinguish itself for its thoroughness and also its big-picture overview of the general SEO techniques. My review of The Art of SEO pointed out that that book didna’t have much focus on the basic tenets of SEO, but SEO Warrior doesnf’t fall into that trap. I think there could be more, because I think basic things such as writing good content constitute the majority of a website/’s SEO success, but the book is well-balanced as is.

Other books have been released in addition to the main series, including three lengthier individual books entitled Firestar's Quest, Bluestar's Prophecy, and SkyClan's Destiny. Four field guides and several volumes of original English-language manga, produced as a collaboration between HarperCollins and TOKYOPOP, have been published as well. In addition to the books, the authors have also written two short stories and two plays. The Warriors series, with the exception of the manga, has been released in an e-book format for popular e-readers such as the Barnes & Noble Nook and Amazon Kindle. The series has also been translated into several languages. In addition, the series has a website, which features games, promotional videos, quizzes, a message board, and news.
