This is not a trivial subject. Nevertheless, I feel completely confident in my newfound knowledge of it. Not only that, but I am very motivated to keep going with the rest of the specialization now.

Good course. I however missed a walkthrough of title tag and meta description lengths in terms of pixels instead of characters which is the correct way. Also the difference in how the SERP truncates meta descriptions differently in a mobile browser.

This course was quite good. There were a couple unanswered questions (for example, when you say there's a character limit of 60 on something, does that include spaces or not?). But for the most part this is well worth your time and has good advice.

Great info, stellar detail. There were some things that were said to be provided in the course materials, ie. links, and downloads that weren't actually there. Just a minor thing to the great value being offered. Thanks for being here for me!

This is a very good beginning SEO course, specially when dealing with topics such as keywords, meta data, tags, url optimization. However, I think the third module (techincal SEO) was very poor and gave me more questions than answers.

I learned a lot, and the instructor was pleasant to listen to and easy to follow. Google SEO Fundamentals was a good value and advanced my knowledge such that I could apply to new positions. I am signed dup for the next class.

It was way better than the first one but it still lacks practical explanations. Aside from the crawler website, we didn't get a chance to see how to do any of the tasks the instructor was talking about the whole time.

The course is very helpful for me as a new learner for SEO. It provides a structure of how SEO on different level works. but I do hope a mentor would be there to answer our questions. will join the next course.

It's a bit tricky to analyze everything with only the free tools at our disposal. It would be great to have a student discount for some of the SEO-tools that we need during this course.

Great course with many practical parts where you can apply the skills you learned. The slides are a little basic and visually a little outdated but the content is really good.

Actually, that course was easier than the first one, because it contains what I am already applying. However sad is that there arent´t any articles in the optional sections.

The course is ok and gives more details than the introductory course. However asks us to use tools which we have to pay in order to perform the tasks properly.

I found this very useful for the beginning with SEO. There are lots of the areas to deepen, but for general understanding it was really convenient.

I dislike the peer graded assignments. This paradigm destroys the whole "learn at your own pace" advantage that was the reason for using coursera.

I don't like that i have to wait for others so that I can complete the course and get the certificate. It's expensive to have to wait.

I would like a little more "how to" info in this. It's a lot of theory and the reading assignments still left me with questions.
