I bought the book because a few respected SEO consultants recommended the book and I have enjoyed reading the book this weekend. I knew bits and pieces of search history but your details make the tangled story even more fascinating. I really liked the chapter on Bill Gross and Overture so I did a Google search to see if Bill Gross has a blog or written any books, but my searches came up empty for the most part. Do you know if Bill has a book he has published or a blog that he posts to regularly?</p> First, I want to congratulate you on your well-written Search book.
