Search Engines in New Downloadable E-Book



Press Release Body = MINNEAPOLIS, MN - August 30, 2007 -- Small Business Mavericks,
a division of Melberg Marketing, today announced the latest edition in its Local
Small Business Marketing series. The new title, SEO Basics: Everything You Need to
Know to Get Started on Your Website Today, by Caroline Melberg and Chris McElroy, is
available as a downloadable PDF at www.SmallBusinessMavericks.com for $19.00.

\"Whoever said \'build it and they will come\' was talking about baseball and
mousetraps, not websites,\" says Small Business Mavericks founder and president
Caroline Melberg. \"Too many small business owners have designed small business
websites, paid for hosting, and waited for customers to show up - because they\'ve
assumed once they threw open their virtual doors, everything else would fall into
place.\"

SEO Basics explains how search engine optimization works, and offers simple,
easy-to-follow directions about how to choose the sort of keywords and content to
put on your site; how to build links to your page from other web pages; and what
meta tags are, how to code them, and why meta tags matter so much. The book also
explores SEO techniques you don\'t want to try, and explains why. A few hours
invested in this book can mean, for small business owners, the difference between
hundreds of hours spent in trial and error trying to get their web site right, and
having a site that begins generating revenue right out of the gate.

SEO Basics joins five existing titles in the Local Small Business Marketing series,
all still available on the www.SmallBusinessMavericks.com site:

. How to Get Massive Publicity on a Shoestring Budget!
. Small Business Blogging Essentials: How to Use Your Blog as a Marketing Tool.
