Shari Thurow’s Search Engine Visibility is a very good foundation reference for web professionals. I read the book and after reaching the midpoint, I realized the book could actually be a very good source material for training people who are in the IT or marketing industry to learn about search engines and basic search engine optimization.

Thurow’s approach is very methodical and deliberate– She first creates a framework for understanding search engines and tackles each component is a very thorough manner. If you ask me, the book strives to make the reader more educated on information architecture, web usability, web copy and general search engine strategies.

This edition is also more relevant with content pertaining to Web 2.0 fixtures: blogs, podcasts, online videos and Adobe’s PDF format. Another thing, the book is good explaining common SEO terms that would scare away the newbie internet marketer. SERPs, CPC and click thrus’s are just some of the SEO terms folks take fro granted, but are explained here well.

If you are looking for a hard-core SEO book that will instantly land you the top spot in Google or Yahoo!, this book may not be appropriate for you. The book spends a great deal in making the site work for people first, search engines second. That’s the thesis of the book– people-friendly sites are naturally search engine-friendly.
