If on-page copy isn't the most important piece of the SEO puzzle, it's certainly in the top two. Well thought-out and strategically organized title tags, meta tags, and page copy is a cornerstone of high rankings. And unlike a few years ago, simple keyword repetition and keyword density no longer works with the search engines. Understanding how search engines work as well as a solid education in SEO copywriting techniques gives the copywriter a very powerful role in a web team's overall SEO plan. The goal of this course is to educate and train copywriters to understanding how search engines read your web pages and how using real-world copywriting and editing skills can have a dramatic effect on search engine inclusion and improved page rank.

Course includes:

• 24-7 access to streaming video tutorials
• Full year of access to purchased courses
• Course study guide with self-paced assignments
• Section quizzes to ensure you're on track
• Access to six monthly workshops to ask live questions of the faculty
• Access to "Ask the Expert" forums to get your questions answered at any time
