Search Engine Optimization Courses – Teach Yourself SEO!

By Wesley Atkins On January 16, 2009 Under SEO

Over the years I have had many requests about what are the best search engine optimization courses available for webmasters to learn the art of SEO.

I’ve read practically every SEO book and taken nearly every SEO course I could get my hands on, and its been pretty easy to sort the wheat from the chaff.

If you are a webmaster looking for good SEO training, firstly let me give you a word of warning.

There are so many contradictions in the world of SEO, all you have to do is visit the forums (which I don’t recommend) to see how confused most people are about search engine optimization basics, site architecture, internal linking, on page SEO, off page SEO… Even some courses I have read can really get in completely wrong, and don’t suckered in by hypey advertisements that promise you high rankings in Google.

When I first set on the path of SEO, I wanted to learn from the best, not from someone who has therioes or conclusions about how to rank higher, so I made a point of finding people who…

1. Test their SEO therioes

2. Have outstanding results in Google for competitve terms

There are only a couple of SEO guru’s I listen to when taking advice on optimizing my websites for higher rankings here are my top 2.

Jerry West
Jerry West is the owner of Web Marketing Now with over eleven years experience on the web, he gives you access to tested SEO results and expert search engine positioning advice. they have eight testing servers and over 500 test domains under their control. Their analysts track SEO methodologies in search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) better than any other web marketing firm I know of.

Bruce Clay
Bruce Clay is the president of Bruce Clay Inc they are a search engine optimization firm that has been operating since 1996. Bruce Clay, Inc. has established an industry reputation as a high-quality and effective technology provider in SEO, PPC, Analytics, SEO Web Architecture and Branding. With over 200+ clients employing his services he was voted no:2 top seo in January 2009.

These are the only 2 SEO professionals that I take advice from and over the years I have learned pretty much all there is to know from these 2. If you can afford the montly fee I recommend you subscribe to the Web Marketing Now Newsletter as you won’t get any better SEO testing results online than that from Jerry.

Also, make sure you take a look at the newsletter archives from Bruce Clay, paying particular attention to his archives on Siloing, they are golden..

No doubt SEO is too important now. we can get a lot of knowledge from different webmaster forums or SEO forums like Webprowold.com and SEOchat.com forum.
