Do SEO books work?

I have two Turkish SEO books in my possession. I acquired them some time ago, whether through a raffle or a campaign, and they are sitting at home. Both were written by Seohocası. One is the SEO Book with Questions, and the other is the Expert’s SEO Book. Should I spend my time reading them?

I have a website with daily traffic approaching 20k, and I can no longer create a new roadmap for myself regarding what to do next.

Bro, keep adding content to your site, get links from quality sites, do reviews, stick with AdSense, books, stories, etc.

The easiest SEO. The tactic is copying. America has been discovered; there is no need to rediscover it.

It depends on where you saw your SEO knowledge.

Reading is good. Even if you know 99% of what is in the book, it means you will learn new things. In the SEO business, you will get ahead of your competitors with that one percent anyway.

Learning from the internet is also an option, but first you need to know what to research.

My advice is to check your site on woorank.com; read the suggestions provided to raise the site score to 100; then search for those topics online and learn how to implement the best improvements.

Since the site has reached 20K, it means it is on the right track. If you are going to make changes, do not make them too radical. I recommend making them one by one without disrupting the harmony of the site.

Merhaba, SE0 2013 (Mustafa Aydemir), SEO 2015 (Gökhan Barışkan), Uzmanından SEO, Sorularla SEO (Kaan Gülten) gibi yazarların toplamda 3 kitabını okudum. Şimdi ise SEO & SEM ( Aykut Aslantaş’a ait kitabı okuyacağım. Hepsini de tavsiye ederim. **Kaan Gülten’in kitabı çok iyi diğerleri ile arasında bariz fark var. **

I think it is nothing more than repetition of basic information. Unfortunately, no one shares their special techniques or the real key points.

I don’t believe in SEO books either. I think those techniques are always about steering people in a certain direction. We will all head in a specific direction, and they will pull a fast one and win. That’s my logic.

The topic from April has been bumped, my opinion is still the same as I wrote above. :slight_smile:

If I had time to read books, I would sit down and read all of my teacher Abdussamet’s writings from beginning to end. At least they are all applied and tested methods. :slight_smile:

If there are current, useful application examples, then it is useful; otherwise, if it is an old book, I cannot say it is useful… as the name implies, it is old.

I looked at many of the books on the market, and most of them just waffle on with empty words. Things like “supposedly the use of H tags is important” or “we must have a mobile theme”—they have basically just dressed up clichéd topics. I have come across such things.

In my opinion, SEO is best learned from forums and blogs. Instead of spending time reading books, I think reading webmaster guidelines is more effective.

Most of them also quote forum topics :smiley:

SEO books most notably serve to bring fame, prestige, and money to their author.

There was a DevFest in Sivas recently. I attended too; it was just the same cliché stuff.

Something had caught my attention. Kaan Gülten, the founder of SEO Hocası, was a speaker. He gave an example regarding referencing the Prime Minister, whereas an employee of SEO Hocası had presented the same example at a previous event using Hürriyet. In other words, he had said: “If I make a negative reference to the Prime Minister, it has a one-in-a-million effect, but if he does it to me, journalists would pile up at my door.” The other example was about Hürriyet newspaper. Anyway, Kaan Gülten first said “Prime Minister,” and later in the speech he said, “from the Hürriyet example I gave a moment ago…” Since I was listening with rapt attention, Hürriyet hadn’t

Okumak yerine uygulamak lazım. Okuyalım da uygulamaya geçmeyince faydası olmuyor ki.
