Book Description

Publication Date: May 6, 2010 | ISBN-10: 0137004206 | ISBN-13: 978-0137004201 | Edition: 1
How much more effective would companies be if all the content they created for the Web reached its specific target audience? In this book, three pioneering IBM content and search experts show how to get closer to this goal than ever before. Readers will discover how to write highly relevant content containing the keywords and long-tail phrases their targeted users actually use. By doing so, they will learn how to go beyond merely "maximising" traffic to actually delivering the right content to the right visitors at the right time. They will even learn how to prove the relevancy of their Web content. More than any other book, Audience, Relevance, and Search is relentlessly focused on the search and content optimisation problems that Web professionals face right now. Drawing on 45+ years of collective experience in Web publishing and search effectiveness, the authors share powerful insights into these and other crucial challenges: * What's the best way to optimize keywords and other content for Google's newest PageRank algorithm? * How can personally relevant content be developed for the widely diverse Web audiences that visit large sites? * How can users be steered to content that's relevant to them and away from content that isn't? * Can content be aligned to users' roles, or where they stand in the purchasing cycle? * How can analytical tools and dashboards be used to determine which content is relevant to their audiences, and how relevant it is?

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guidance, well organized and presented June 18, 2010
Format:Paperback
If you're looking for a guide that explains SEO in all its glory, READ THIS BOOK. I found it to be comprehensive in scope, very clearly written, and especially well organized. Everything from linguistic characteristics of keywords and how keywords work to site architecture ... and lots more. Great information about gaining page rank and using social media to create success. Tons of useful charts and graphs. There are many books out there that claim to give you this kind of information -- Do yourself a favor and start with this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed and relevant advice for web writers and bloggers October 15, 2010
Format:Paperback
How can you get more traffic to your website or blog? And how can you make sure the content you write is relevant to the people who visit? In Audience, Relevance, and Search: Targeting Web Audiences with Relevant Content, the authors show you how to ensure your site is giving your visitors what they want.

The authors give an excellent overview of how writing for the web is different than writing for print. The main point they make is that to be successful on the web, you need to write for search engines, especially Google. You need to use the right keywords to help the right people find your site. And you need to focus on linking strategies that ensure your audience can find you from other places, and that sites like Google consider your site important.

I have attended search engine optimization educational sessions run by the authors, so when I started my blog, I actually tried to implement some of their ideas. Through the book, I learned a great deal more about how to analyze keywords that my audience uses and where to include them within my pages. I also learned about how Google's PageRank works. And I got a lot out of the chapter on Capturing Social Media Opportunities, which includes a section on specific ways to optimize your blog for search.

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is responsible for web writing. Most of the examples are from IBM, and it's more focused on websites rather than blogs. But I also found a lot that I can apply to my blog. So if you're looking for ways to improve your blog visitors' experience and increase your ranking on Google, check it out! And if your other job involves writing for a website, as mine does, I'm sure you'll find a great deal of valuable information as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not theory along, actual actions anyone can understand August 18, 2011
Format:Paperback
Coming from a writers point of view, James provides linguistic logic that most content authors can immediate act upon. His concept of keyword research has become the foundation for all digital conversations at my firm. My 161 pages are tagged, highlighted and tattered. This is a must have reference.

A Kid's Review
Format:Paperback
On the web audience behavior rules! Writing for the web and connecting with target audiences are integral to online success. What often eludes many writers, editors and content providers, is how to attract and engage with the right audience.

More than a guide to effective web writing, this book illuminates the facets of creating relevant web content, using search and social media. You'll be introduced to the search-first write methodology, for defining your audience and strategic tactics that are woven into an integrated approach. And, you'll take away knowledge of sustainable practices for responding to and engaging with diverse audiences.

As the authors point out, the web is a writers medium. I liken this book to having a personal trainer for writers, to step you through the exercises that will fine tune your skills and advance your expertise for delivering relevant and targeted web content.
