It was a great introductory course. However, a little hands-on option would have been great. Thank you to the instructor and the whole team behind the course for your effort and excellent outcomes.

I really enjoyed the "Introduction to Search Engine Optimization" course. It brings a good overview of the basics, and I was very impressed with the number of extra materials provided. Thank you!

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.

I submitted 3 out of 4 lessons. The submissions weren't registered and the course has listed my assignments as overdue. Furthermore, the written dialogue was cut off before the end in each of the weeks. I am very disappointed in the quality of this course. I have taken other courses thru Coursera and am very pleased with them But not with this one!

I've been attempting to access this for a few days now, but it keeps showing the message "Sorry, we are down for maintenance." I'm hoping that this issue will be resolved as soon as possible because I can't complete the entire course without accessing this content. Thanks!

Peer review based, people post anything they want. There's no seriousness in completing course. But individually you definitely learn something. But instructors need to grade some atleast

The way this course was presented was time consuming and full of new info and they depended on talking talking without enough graphic and practice

Did not use enough practical or visual presentation, feel just reading a book for me. So hard to concentrate.

Un bodrio, muy largo para el contenido histórico que en definitiva no es aplicable al día de hoy.

Una pena.
