Conventions Used in This Book

We’ve been working together in close quarters for so many years now that some-

times it seems our brains are fused. Gradiva tends toward the “left brain” side of

our collective SEO brain, with enough logic, math proficiency, and analytical

thinking for both of us. On the other hand, Jennifer is more of a “right brain”

thinker, with a flair for writing and a preference for the creative aspects of SEO.

One thing we agree on: Good SEO requires a little left brain

and

a little right

brain! Throughout this book, you’ll see the “left brain/right brain” icon wherever

we think you need the view from both sides.

We love to learn from others’ mistakes and successes, and you can too! Look for

the shovel icon accompanying stories from the real world: case studies, expert

opinions, and even some tragic tales from the trenches. We’ve changed most of

the names to protect the privacy—and reputations—of the parties involved.

This pearl represents a special tip or tidbit of wisdom that you may find espe-

cially helpful.
