Search Engine Marketing, Inc., is a no-nonsense book about developing and implementing a search marketing program in business. Full of explanations of both the business and technical aspects of search marketing, a beginner can learn each step. This book is also full of tips that even experienced search marketers may not know. Jeff Parks discusses the book with its author, Mike Moran.
Search marketing requires that technologists understand the business concepts, and that marketers grasp the technical details. The book explains both, but also emphasizes tangible business value, starting from the initial cost justification for embarking on the program through operational metrics to prove your success.
