Where can you find a free online course on search engine optimization?

Do you want to add SEO in your skills? Well, you can find a free online course on Udemy.

I choose two online courses inside this online learning platform.

The first one is from Eric Schwartzman and the second one is from Kent Mauresmo.

So what’s the difference between the two? Well, I might say they both really good courses but Eric Schwartzman is a bit old one but very very helpful if you are a beginner in SEO like me.It is composed of 42 videos with is 9 hours long.  He did explain well vocabularies and the brief preview of what SEO means. On the other hand, Kent Mauresmo is bit new Online course (2015). IT has a total of 20 videos with 9 hours long. He has an hands-on practice and a blueprint that you can actually have a copy and used as a workbook.

I was very much excited to used what I’ve learned from this two brilliant guys. I will use my website as a guide pig.

So let’s get started. I would first show you some of the lessons I’ve learned from Eric course.
