Okay, I don’t know if Rebecca Kelley really uses her nickname “Speed Demon” but it makes for a nifty blog post title.  The wax on, wax off, paint the fence came from Ammon Johns‘ description  of Fresh Egg’s training methods. After reading about her first day at Fresh Egg’s sem seo training I think she’ll definitely [...]

In my original post about associations offering certification or training, I noted that SEMPO had no position on certification and the only assocation to address the issue was SEOPros. They were endorsing Search Engine College and SEO Research Labs. SEOPros now has their own certification program. Not until the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) launched their [...]

My recent article submitted to Marketing Pilgrim’s SEM Scholarship contest was about sem seo certification and training. Here’s a snippet; Finally, why aren’t the sem seo associations like SEMPO, SMA-NA, SMA-UK, SMA-EU and others taking a stand on sem seo certification or training? Maybe they should develop their own certification or training programs. Rumor has [...]

All this talk about sem seo certification and training is making my head spin. I mean really, there are plenty of companies or individuals that offer training, some good some not so good. Sure you’re gonna learn quite a bit about seo sem and my advice is to attend one of these programs, you’ll learn [...]

I blogged about Fresh Egg’s SEO Intern training and scholarship a few weeks back and mentioned that it would be a great opportunity for anyone to spend time with Ammons John aka Black Knight. Well it looks like Rand Fishkin thought the same thing and is sending Rebecca across the pond. Some of the things [...]

This is the second part of a closer look at Search Engine College’s sem seo certification program with Kalena Jordan , Director of Studies at Search Engine College and owner and CEO of Web Rank.  Q: What levels of certification do you offer?  Students who take a Certification course under tutor-supervision must receive at least [...]

I blogged about a few search engine marketing certification programs earlier and grabbed some info from their respective web pages. I thought it would be a good idea to get a closer look at of some of those and ask a few questions that might not be answered on the website and okay, some that were answered. SEM SEO certification and training closeup [...]

Honestly, why sem seo training courses give or don’t give sem seo certification is beyond me. After all there is no sem seo certification board that can approve or disapprove these courses, programs or whatever. Even if there were an approval entity, the value of that certificate is and always will be, I imagine, debated up one side [...]

 As long as we’re talking about seo sem certifications, I have to give a shout out to my friend Jill Whalen. Jill will be heading to Dallas (sorry Minneapolis fans)  on October 19th and 20th with her High Rankings® Search Engine Optimization Seminar. This band of merry makers is a virtual who’s who list from the seo [...]
