Part 2″.  Thanks Kevin, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.  I’ve been [...]

Oops, I forgot. What I meant to say was, let’s use the search engine Google to search for the term “sem seo certification and training”.  You may remember back this summer Google told us not to use  google as a verb to describe what the online service WordSpy defines as; “To search for information on [...]
