Advanced Search Engine Optimization

Characteristics Of This Class:


Search engine optimization is such a powerful, cost-effective marketing tool that going beyond the basics really gives you an edge over your competition. This workshop looks at some of the more technical and intermediate-level issues you will encounter when trying to rank well on Google and other search engines.

By digging deeper into Google's guidelines and ever-changing algorithms, you'll learn proven techniques for better SEO - without resorting to nasty black- or grey-hat techniques that could end up killing your site.

This workshop will cover:
  • Advanced Google search operators
  • Using meta tags and robots.txt to control robots

  • Common SEO architecture issues

  • Duplicate content and canonicalization (linking) issues
  • Digging into Google Webmaster Tools
  • Advanced link building techniques

Who Should Take This:

Web designers who are ready to move beyond simple on-page SEO in a competitive niche. You should take Introduction to Search Engine Optimization first if you're not familiar with basic SEO practices.

GREAT class with a wide variety of topics covered. It definitely helped to 'fill in the blanks' on many items. Well worth the time and money spent. Thanks for offering such a high quality class, lead by an even higher quality instructor!

It was great. I only wish it was an all day seminar! It's a lot to absorb - but I had a lot of questions and Dave is very helpful. Very good class.
