...Training for SEO Search Engine Optimization? I live in Phoenix, Arizona. As far as I know there are no such schools around here, are there any legitimate online classes I can check out? I'm talking about the real deal, thanks.
"Search Engine Optimization - An Hour A Day" I have it, and I don't have the patience to go through the excruciating o pain of reading page to page to only find out irrelevant information that?s been done before. It does have some helpful hints, I was just looking for something that gets to the point! Bla?

Hi,

If you Google for "SEO Certification" you will get back a plethora of Web sites that offer SEO Certificates and the prices range from $49 to several hundred dollars.

I don't think employers will be impressed because most of them do not understand what SEO means.

Check out this Web site for a discussion on this topic and you may be able to save your money: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum5/7095.htm

Get this book: "Search Engine Optimization - An Hour A Day" by Jennifer Grappone and Gradiva Couzin.

Kindest Personal Regards,

Well since no one in the world can actually do that there's no schools to teach it.

yet! But, I'm really learing alot for the free software. If they put this into an ebook, I'm sure they could sell quite a few copies!

*Also, on first link below is a website that offers about ten website and blog awards. They are FREE & even provide a link back to your site! Plus, they show the visitors that your site is a noch above the rest. Keep in mind, to get the award you have to have good info on your site and not just junk w/jumping graphics and tons of AdWords!

So, bottom line, GET THEIR FREE TRIAL SOFTWARE and even if you do NOT do anything else...you'll learn a great deal about SEO from people who make their livelihood DOING IT!
