Update: Due to excessive downloads, we are now asking for a small $5 payment for each copy. Thanks!

How would you like to get your hands on a 163-page internet marketing book for free? No we didn’t just rip-off the local Barnes & Noble, but we did take all of the submissions from our two search marketing scholarship contest, edit them, and compile them in a fantastic ebook. We thought about how much we could sell such a book, but then we thought aw heck, let’s just give it away!
The book is packed full of advice on search engine optimization, paid search and social media marketing and is worth at least 1000x the price you’ll pay for it!
Thanks to all of those that contributed, those that donated prizes, our judges and Jordan McCollum for her editing skillz.
We hope you’ll enjoy it!

Wow, great ebook. It IS actually free too. No email address trick required.
A lot of basics, but some good solid articles in there, and a few tricks the pure white hats out there may not know. You have to keep reading, as they keep get better.
Thanks, good stuff.

[...] Inspired by Marketing Pilgrim’s past Scholarship contests (which resulted in this handy free e-book) where participants submit articles to be voted on, we decided to do something similar, but internally here at TopRank. An invitation to participate in a contest was sent to the team 2 weeks ago and 8 decided to take up the offer. Each participant has since submitted an article to Susan Misukanis and myself on a topic of their choice or from a list of suggested topics. [...]

Andy, I’m quite confused … if the book is free why do I have to pay … “Just $5″?
Andy Beal Says:

We’ve added a minor charge to cover overhead and automated downloads.

Where is the “free” download located?

I see … In order not to create further confusions (see Becca’s comment) I’d suggest you to modify also the image and its ALT tab.

Shame that you’ve had to put a price tag on it – I’m sure its got vto be worth the 5 bucks though. I’m just working on a free SEO book myself which is in the early stages so far (about 20 pages in). Will be giving away extracts on our blog each month with the opportunity to download the whole thing for free when its finished as well.
