London - A Visitor's Guide
Craig Cross - 2014
And I don't just regurgitate the same old spiel that you find in 95% of guidebooks. It's not the kind of guide where I just tell you the basics, and leave it at that. I'll take you inside each location and share my experiences with you. Maybe I enjoyed them, and maybe I didn't... I'll give you an honest opinion, alongside exact information about opening times and prices. If you're new to London then I'll explain how to ride the buses, taxis and trains, and if you enjoy walking then I've created some self-guided walks (bonus chapter in ebook only), plus two weeks-worth of example itineraries. I've also included some Top 10 lists, a chapter full of popular day trips, and a review of every hotel I've ever stayed at, from the Premier Inn to The Ritz. It's a good little travel companion to keep in your pocket."London - A Visitor's Guide from http://www.londondrum.

SEO 2013 & Beyond: Search Engine Optimization Will Never Be The Same Again
Andy Williams - 2012
Panda was designed to remove low quality content from the search engine results pages. The surprise to many were some of the big name casualties that were taken out by the update. On 24th April 2012, Google went in for the kill when they released the Penguin update. Few SEOs that had been in the business for any length of time could believe the carnage that this update caused. If Google's Panda was a 1 on the Richter scale of updates, Penguin was surely a 10. It completely changed the way we need to think about SEO. On September 28th 2012, Google released a new algorithm update targeting exact match domains (EMDs). I have updated this book to let you know the consequences of owning EMDs and added my own advice on choosing domain names. While I have never been a huge fan of exact match domains anyway, many other SEO books and courses teach you to use them. I'll tell you why I think those other courses and books are wrong.The EMD update was sandwiched in between another Panda update (on the 27th September) and another Penguin update (5th October).Whereas Panda seems to penalize low quality content, Penguin is more concerned about overly aggressive SEO tactics. Stuff that SEOs had been doing for years, not only didn't work any more, but now can actually cause your site to be penalized and drop out of the rankings. That’s right, just about everything you have been taught about Search Engine Optimization in the last 10 years can be thrown out the Window. Google have moved the goal posts. I have been working in SEO for around 10 years and have always tried to stay within the guidelines laid down by Google. This has not always been easy because to compete with other sites, it often meant using techniques that Google frowned upon. Now, if you use those techniques, Google is likely to catch up with you and demote your rankings. In this book, I want to share with you the new SEO. The SEO for 2013 and Beyond.
