It’s been said that attention to detail is the determining factor in whether something is great or just good. That’s certainly true when you’re dealing with search engine optimization or SEO.
Things like HTML tag structure and lead images might seem minor and irrelevant to an untrained user, but with a little training, one will come to realize that they’re often the determining factors in whether your site ranks on the first page of Google search results or in No Man’s Land (i.e., any page thereafter).
Now, you have a few options when it comes to said training. For one, you could go back to school and spend four-plus years and a hefty chunk of cash on communication, business, or web development degree. You could also just enroll in the Complete SEO Certification Training Bundle, which wraps up in under 40 hours and just went on sale in the Mashable Shop at a 96% discount.
Truly, it’s your call.
But just in case you decide to go with the latter option, we’ve broken down its eight-part education below.
