SEO Course Johannesburg


I received this email about a SEO and Internet Marketing course to be presented. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. I am uploading this email so that those who wish to attend higher level SEO (Google) training can know what SEO is about and what you can expect to pay for such a course.

I will be presenting a Kwikwap Training Session on 20 April 2013 and I want people to appreciate that even though we will start with "How Google Works" that this topic in itself can take days to master.

And for those wishing to become SEO Experts, this is the route for you.

Our clients focus on some structured basics and on adding usefull relevant content to their websites.

The SEO then just magically happens. cool

The Problem:

You met with a webmaster, spent lots of hours providing information and content, and probably paid a lot of money to have your site designed. 

You have perhaps even tweaked your site a little, paid for some online advertising, and put your site name in all your letters, ads, and business cards. But your web site is still not generating very much traffic and it is nearly impossible to find your site for important keywords in a Google search. The bottom line result is that your dream of expanding your business on the World Wide Web has fallen far short of your initial expectations. In summary, web traffic and sales have been disappointing!

Future Dates:
