This is not a trivial subject. Nevertheless, I feel completely confident in my newfound knowledge of it. Not only that, but I am very motivated to keep going with the rest of the specialization now.

Despite the information regarding the "stages of search" being a bit disorganized and hard to follow, the course contains an amazing amount of helpful information. I continue to be impressed by the instructor's teaching style. Well done.

Another hit. Lessons are parceled out well so that it is easy to learn but then reinforced extremely well so that the participants leave with a firm grasp on the concepts.

still using the old web as teaching material

There is definitely a lack of tutors, which becomes essential when carrying out the mandatory tasks and to clarify any doubts. The link to the teacher (paradoxically) reports a 404 error (object of study of a lesson). It would also be honest to communicate the year of production of the course (which I have not found). The topics are treated with extreme simplicity: it is perfect for those who are beginners and want to extricate themselves from the tide of information now available on the topic.

I feel that some more resources would have helped. For instance, useful sites to get SEO information, page ranking etc.

I found the assignment quite difficult as I felt that what we were asked to do was not possible. At least not with Accuracy. No matter how many web pages I tried to analyse and with how many different free tools I seemed to come up with the same 2 issues.....if the page was performing badly (which was the type of page we were recommended to choose) there was not enough traffic to it to gather any information/demographics. However even when I chose a popular page I was unable to obtain the requested information because it was not my website so I was not entitled to view this information - again returning zero results. So I am a little confused as to how we are expected to answer (truthfully?!) questions such as:

Who are the main visitors? Where are they from? Where did you obtain this information?

The Fundamentals of SEO course is a great introduction to the world of search engine optimization. The course covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of search engine algorithms to more advanced techniques like keyword research and link building.

The instructor, Rebekah May, is a highly knowledgeable and experienced SEO specialist. She does a great job of explaining complex concepts in a clear and concise way. The course is also well-organized and easy to follow.

I really enjoyed the course's emphasis on practical application. There are a number of exercises and assignments that allow you to put what you've learned into practice. This helps you to solidify your understanding of the material and to see how SEO can be applied to real-world websites.

Overall, I highly recommend the Fundamentals of SEO course to anyone who is interested in learning more about search engine optimization. It's a great way to get started in the field and to learn the basics of SEO.

As someone who has been interested in SEO for quite some time, I decided to take a course on this learning platform, and I must say, it was a great experience. The course was specifically about SEO and provided in-depth knowledge and insights on the subject matter. The content was engaging, informative, and well-structured, making it easy to understand and apply. The user interface was also user-friendly, which made navigating the course a breeze. Overall, I highly recommend this platform to anyone looking to expand their knowledge and skills in SEO.

I recently completed the "Google SEO Fundamentals" course at UC Davis, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. The course is divided into four comprehensive modules, each covering a crucial aspect of SEO.

What sets this course apart is its balance between theory and hands-on application. I found the discussions and assignments to be valuable opportunities for interaction and practical learning. I highly recommend it to both beginners and those seeking to refresh their SEO knowledge.

Hands Down the best course I have ever done.

The pace was perfect. I never got bored (it happens) Sometimes its just too long or too much waffle.

And as I was going through the content, I would have a question in my mind and what-do-you-know? That was the next thing covered!

This course is packed with actual practical information that I have put into practice alrady. . Thank you so much.

Also the presenter has a lovely voice. Worth mentioning ;)

Really deep and complete about all the pillars of SEO: On-Page, Off-Page and Technical SEO. Every single detail was covered, and also an extra lesson about keyword analysis. It's a great course to learn the fundamental topics to optimize a website for Google SEO, and with the previous course about all the Google Search Algorithm, we'll be more than ready for the next course of hands on real optimization.

Excellent course - presentation of material was well paced and more than enough details and depth provided to give the student the information and resources necessary to learn optimally.

The instructor(s) and generally this course took a deeper dive into tools and techniques for SEO for prep, planning, analysis and review.

I highly recommend this course for beginners, intermediates, and any aspiring SEOs.

Builds a strong case for learning SEO by providing real life examples. The assignment provides opportunities to use them and further refine each piece learned here. The course presentation is excellent with really good graphics and well planned content. Some of the tools used in here might not be freely available, but many can be used for trial period or with limited content/features.

Challenging, thorough and engaging. Repetitive in a good way, by gently going back over content you almost learn by default. The quizzes are professionally prepared and sometimes tough to pass! This is good as you are obliged to think hard, even go back through materials or ask others for advice until the knowledge sticks. Highly recommended and of great practical value.

It was an awesome course. I have learned a lot of things from this course, and now I feel the urge to enroll in the upcoming course as I have gained more interest in this field.

Thanks to the course mentor Ms. Rebekah May and all those who are working behind the scene for presenting such a wonderful course. I hope I will be more pleased in the upcoming course as well.
