Great course, very informative!! I can tell the classes are starting to be structured differently though. Not too much meat to this first course... reserving my opinion, until I go through a few more.

Great course. It approaches SEO from a scientific point of view rather than on factors that are personal experience of the teacher. This approach enables you to develop your own ideas and experience.

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.

Muy útil, fácil y bien explicado, aunque le faltan un par de cositas en muy completo para el poco tiempo que lleva terminar el curso y te deja bien parado para empezar a investigar por tu cuenta.

Great introductory course to SEO. The content is brilliant and the lecturer is clear. It would be good if there would be a teaching stuff to assist the students in their threads in the forums.

A great introduction to the concept of SEO, an increasingly in-demand skill set. Definitely recommend doing the whole course, however, as this felt like it was just scratching the surface.

Great introduction to SEO and good professor. Makes me want to take all the courses in the stream. However, Week 3 has too much content - some could be moved to Week 4, which is too easy.
