This course is more about the history of SEO and how to apply for an SEO position as opposed to intro to SEO principles and strategies. The questions are also a little misleading and some of the external resources seemed outdated or unprofessional.

Great not just for beginners in SEO optimization, also gives a good bird's eye view on marketing, brand building as well as customer acquisition and retention. these skills are required even if you operate or intend to operate an offline business.

Good introduction, though some articles are from 2011 and years ago that according to this lesson are likely not relevant now. Still good history to know, would like to see more up to date info in this lesson. Looking forward to learning more.

informative, really good background on SEO, not very pragmatic though, one presentation with a summary of the '10 things todo to improve your SEO' would be useful (although i understand that the broader background gives people a better basis)

It's a good introduction to SEO. A lot of history - I was maybe hoping to go a little deeper into how to setup a successful SEO strategy. This would be for another lesson :)

THe teacher is great, easy to understand, good graphic support.

It has been very useful all what we learned, it gives us a very wide panorama of how the world of SEO is and what things to take into account to be able to optimize. Very useful to be able to layout correctly taking into account google.

This is one of the most imp courses which covers the basic topic for the SEO.

People directly run for the top order before clearing the base. for SEO this is the base. You will get to know how SEO evolve with time and will keep changing.

More about the general concept of what is SEO, what are the webmaster's career future as an SEO and history of the development of Google algorithms. Good lesson for the beginner to get a total picture and dive deeper to the next course

Weeks 2-4 contained good information about how Google searches for websites, and a quick outline of how Google's algorithms calculate which sites get ranked. Week 1 was out of place, and a poor introduction to the rest of the material.

It was nice course but there was lot about history rather practical work. Maybe some history is necessary and useful for further and next parts of the course. I am happy and i learned something unique and extra.

Thank you very much.

Solid course, although the team estimate is wildly inaccurate. It took me a little over 5 hours to complete and that's with taking notes, doing several of the discussion questions, and reading through a good chunk of the articles.

Solid introduction to SEO landscape. Not sure if the info and supporting docs were current to 2018? I found the first two modules went very quickly and probably could be combined. The third took considerably more time to complete.

The course was quite informative overall, considering that it is an introduction. I wish it had less carrier oriented information though since it is not valuable for everyone and since it was not part of the course's description.

I really liked the course and it was easy to understand. While I feel like I gained value I would prefer less historical overview and more practical knowledge although the reading material provided was very practical and useful.

El contenido esta muy bien estructurado y es bien intuitivo, aportan contenido de calidad y recursos de estudio adicionales. Por su puesto es un curso introductorio donde te guiaran a traves de tu iniciacion en el mundo del SEO.

I completed the Introduction to Google SEO Course, and it exceeded my expectations in every way possible. From the moment I enrolled, I was impressed with the course structure, content quality, and overall learning experience.

Insightful and helpful course, that helps a person new to SEO learn about its history and some fundamental terminology. It was a bit too thorough with SEO's past and evolution, a thing that I didn't care to learn so much about.

This course was a very solid, thorough understanding of SEO history and marketing basics! I do wish it had a bit more practice in actually doing keyword research - hopefully that comes in the next course in the specialization!

Great overview and introduction. Easy to follow. The quizzes help to focus attention.

Good to see the links to external reference material, though some are a little outdated by now (mostly 2012-2015, now more than 5 years old.

This course is a gem lfor people like me who wants to build a career in content writing as well as through blogging but lacks the fundamentals. I wish to complete all the upcoming 4 courses of this topic by COURSERA!!!!!!!!!

This course was encouraging and well structured. Thanks a lot!!

One less star, because the way lecture has been delivered could have been more conversational instead of one way. Like the way Udacity delivers.

Plz don't mind :P

A great way to get into SEO, but I am not sure complete beginners would entirely benefit from the course.

I enjoyed both videos and reading assignments, and I find the selection of topics perfect. Would love to see a sequel!

It was very good and course material was also good .Proper balance between videos and course materials. Introduction part and information about jobs in this field was helpful. It was great to study history of google search.

Information is unevenly distributed over the weeks. There seems to be a lack of information in the training materials of the week 4 (video Creating Your Ideal Buyers Persona ends unfinished). Overall an interesting course.

Good overview, but very much just an introduction. You get a general idea of how SEO works(and how it used to work), but it's not the most actionable knowledge. Hopefully, those things are covered in the following courses.
