Kudos to Lee Odden of TopRank Online Marketing for beating us to the punch.
If Stoney deGeyter and I had collaborated on a book for the inbound marketing industry, it probably would have turned out something like Optimize, Odden’s recent release that covers search engine optimization (SEO), social media and content marketing tactics and why a blend of all three is a must for successful online marketing.
