Working Hard On The Internet
Ever wonder why so many folks are trying to make extra money on the Internet and who is succeeding? This isn’t the site to learn from.

SEO Bible by Jerri L. Ledford
(ISBN: 978-0-470-17500-2) As usual I have not purchased this book, I have, however, borrowed it from the Ottawa Public Library.
