Learn the fundamentals of SEO, including strategies and techniques to create a website that ranks well on Google, ensuring long-term success.
This SEO Primer course is all about understanding search engine optimization—what it is, why it matters, and how to do it right. You'll learn the ins and outs of SEO strategies, focusing on what works now and building an SEO mindset for your online journey.
An introduction to search engine optimization (SEO) and how to go about creating a website that Google will love.
This "SEO Primer" course will teach you the basics of a sustainable, long-term SEO strategy. However, it is not just about showing you how to optimize your website. I'm sure you have heard the expression "give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him forever". Well, that is my approach to teaching you SEO in this course. I want you to leave this course with an SEO Mindset, so you understand what Google wants, and how to give it to them. I want you to understand why some SEO techniques are risky, while others are not, and have the ability to evaluate SEO techniques you hear about on-the-fly.
This course introduces you to SEO, what it is and why it is necessary.
You'll learn about Black Hat, White Hat and Grey Hat SEO, and how to spot these three different "varieties" of search engine optimization.
I'll show you how SEO used to be done a few short years ago, with real examples of content that used to rank very well, and make good money for me. We'll look at what those techniques no longer work, and then concentrate on the factors that are the most important today.
You will learn the very best place to get your SEO knowledge from - Google itself.
In the final section of this primer, you'll learn how to create high quality content for your site. You'll also learn all about the importance of backlinking. I'll show you my "Holy Grail" of backlinks - a checklist of things to look for when you evaluate a backlinking opportunity, as well as the best way to achieve this type of backlink.
By the time you finish this primer, you'll have a good grasp of White Hat SEO which will give you a powerful foundation for your SEO adventures. Most importantly of all, you'll have an SEO mindset that will act as your compass as you navigate the web and start to improve your web page rankings.

great course
The course is very good for anyone who builds a website. As an employee of a big company, I only needed part of the knowledge presented. However, for my site-building activities outside work, it's a perfect match. Thanks!
great going
Topic well covered so far
He explains things well and lays out a solid foundation to build on.
I can't understand why there was hardly any discussion on keywords.
It doesn't feel like he's talking down to me as a beginner but also he's making it understandable for someone who is just starting out and trying to grasp this concept.
Best for beginner
