I wrote a book on SEO

The SEO Probability Playbook.

SEO isn’t a guarantee — it’s a game of probabilities. This practical, step-by-step guide shows how to stack the odds in your favor: keyword research, site structure, on-page optimization, linking, authority, ads, and AI.

13 chapters · 20 diagrams

A real-world example

Every chapter is applied to a live site.

Instead of a made-up company, the book walks through bestdogwaterbottle.com — an affiliate review site we rebuilt using every step in the playbook: size-based content silos, a golden page, breadcrumbs, schema, featured-snippet answers, FAQs, and E-E-A-T signals.

What you’ll learn
  • How E-E-A-T and probability shape rankings
  • Keyword research and search intent
  • Silos, internal links, and the golden page
  • On-page SEO and featured snippets
  • Backlinks, PR, and off-page authority
  • Using ads and AI to speed up results
