Announcing Klog Book Reviews
As I had first mentioned in my 100th post (exactly 18 posts ago) I have been pondering the idea of incorporating a "Book Review" section into my Blog. Basically, I was hoping to create a resource for those looking to purchase industry-related reading by simply providing reviews of the books that I've personally read. The benefit in such a page is that a person can easily compare the many industry books that exist by simply reading my reviews of them.
A downfall to this methodology is of course that interested readers would only be reading my take on specific books... however, that shouldn't be all that bad because, as readers of this Blog, they read my takes on just about everything Search Engine Marketing related anyway.
Well... before leaving for SES-San Jose last week, I decided to move forward with this idea and began creating this section. Today I am happy to announce the semi-completion of this page and that it is now available on my Blog. You can view it here, or by using the "Book Reviews" link found on my Blog's navigation scheme (over on the right).
As you'll soon see, I have only reviewed 5 books, but am planning on adding a few more in upcoming weeks and of course as I finish a new book. As of now, I just wanted to get the section out there and make it available for people to look at in hopes to getting some valid reader feedback on what else to add and maybe what to remove.
Here are a couple of features that I've included for the benefit of this project:
- Image of the Book (for when readers make their purchase)
- Book Information (such as author, publisher, and ISBN #)
- A Small Description of the Book
- A Link to the Post of when the Book was First Reviewed
- A 5 Klog Scale (similar to a 5 Star Scale)
With that said, please take a few moments to check it out. I'd love to hear what you think, so please feel free to use my comments section.
Enjoy.

Ummm... good question. Well, I've just recently finished up with two books:
1) "1,001 Ways to Keep Customers Coming Back" by Donna Greiner and Theodore Kinni.
2) "The Big Red Fez" by Seth Godin.
So most likely it will be one of these two. In fact, I'm hoping to have at least one of them written and posted by this upcoming Friday... so stay tuned!
