I've been practically doing SEO for over 5 years now. I started with Internet Marketing and SEO when I was 14 years old.

I expected to learn some practical things. Unfortunately, this course is more of a "History" of SEO & Job Search than an introduction to SEO.

I feel doing the whole specialization would make sense, but not this course individually.

Almost no practical aspects of SEO were discussed. Pure theory.

The readings of the course have been carefully picked and are worth a read. It will take up the majority of your time and that'll be worthwhile.

This is very much a personal reflection but I would have benefitted far more from guided tutorials. While I know what factors to consider in SEO, I still wouldn't know where to begin with optimising. That might indicate a need to brush up on web development skills but I do think it would have been great to work through an example alongside the trainer.

It's somewhat harder to learn information and retain it when the speaker is stumbling over their content. Additionally, there are ways to show SEO optimization in a more interactive way. I think this course could be improved with a more thoughtful look at the content.

Course completion is very painful as 90% of the time ONLY THE COURSE PAGE DOESN'T LOAD. Everything else works fine. I tried N number of things, deleting browsing history cookies and cache, tried different browsers, checked connection but Nothing works.

This class seemed like a lot of filler and was a bit unecessary. All of the most important info in this class could be have been put together in a starter module for a more advanced class instead. I finished all four weeks of the class in 5 days. Meh.

The majority of the information is not useful in both academic or practical manner.

Too much is spent on career advice and historical review.

Very little value, theory or tactics is provided to anyone who needs to actually implement SEO.

Little real knowledge is provided, just a lot of links, without any skills or information that could be usefull. I am glad I only audited this course, otherwise it will be like losing money.

Good for general knowledge but still do not know how to start optimizing my website. Rather historical than practical

This was more like the history of SEO, you don't really learn too much about the hands-on technical aspects of SEO.

Very theoretical and history oriented with no hands on. The career part was totally irrelevant.
