We the authors of The Art of SEO encourage readers to submit any broken links, typos, inaccuracies, omissions, etc. We worked hard to make the book as accurate, current, and comprehensive as possible. But we’re only human, so inevitably there will be some errata. We would be most grateful for any reports. Please submit them here in the comments.
These are the errors we know of so far:
- p. 8: The strategynode.com URL leads to a 404 error. There is no other source we could find for this article, but we found another useful article on the topic by another author: http://www.webpronews.com/expertarticles/2009/05/29/the-three-types-of-searches.
- p. 121: “Compete (http://www.comscore.com)” that should be “comScore (http://www.comscore.com)”.
- p. 251: Now that Google supports the canonical tag (link element) cross-domain, the statement “This is not the case with the canonical URL tag, which operates exclusively on a single root domain (it will carry over across subfolders and subdomains)” is no longer accurate.
Once we have a few more we will create a dedicated Errata page on this site.
And of course the search engines and SEO industry don’t stay stagnant, so please do include new developments since September 2009 that you believe are worthy of including, such as Google’s switch from supporting the canonical tag (link element) intra-domain only to cross-domain (yay, thanks Google!).
